explanation about stages in teaching speaking skill is used to know how to teach speaking skill for students in the correct stages. Some students also realize that
they get difficulties in improving their speaking skill. The researcher would use the explanation about problem in speaking skill to know what kind of problem in
speaking skill happen to the students. Therefore, there must be some causes why students have difficulties in speaking skill. The researcher would analyse those
causes to find a condition how students’ speaking skill can be implemented well in the speaking class. After knowing a condition how the students’ speaking skill
can be implemented well in the speaking class, the researcher would use some types of spoken test to know how to train the students’ speaking skill. One of the
types is a monologue. A monologue is used in this research because in a video project, the students do monologue. Then, some factors that helps the students in
speaking are also used to know how video project can helps students to train their speaking skill.
3. Video Project
The technology nowadays can support the learning language. According to Jonassen, Howland, Moore Marra 2003, a technology should be a partner in
teaching in learning process, engage and support thinking as cited in Hung et al., 2004. A project based learning is one of the ways to develop learning language.
Thomas 2000 states that a project-based learning is complex tasks, based on challenging questions or problems, that involve students in design, problem-
solving, decision making, or investigative activities; give students the opportunity PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

to work relatively. The students are expected to create some products which can involve their abilities on problem solving and making decision of any obstacles
they face.
Booth 1997 explains that a project based learning is an active learning as cited in Hung et al., 2004. A project based learning puts the students to the
situation which need authentic use of language to communicate with each other. Through a project based learning, a students can develop their critical thinking to
the target language. One of the project based learning which can be used in learning language is a video project. Hyun-suk, Sub, and Jin-il 2000 state that
video represents scenes in motion by capturing, recording, processing, storing, transmitting. Video is used to support the students’ language learning. It can be
used to assess, observe and practice. Harmer 2004 says that an activity which can improve speaking skill is
creating a video project p.361. According to Mayer 2001, well-designed multimedia instructional messages can promote active cognitive processing in
students, even when learners seem to be behaviorally inactive. Some students have passive behavior, so creating documentary video triggers the students to give
the best result in front of the camera. It can increase their confidences. A video project is also meaningful for the students Fraser Oram, 2003.
There are four reasons why a video project is meaningful for the students. The first reason is active because through a video project, the students can put all their
creativities to create the video. A video project facilitates them to explore their PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
