pronunciation, so the researcher was thinking about giving them models to speak, so they would know how some words are pronounced. Video could be the best media
for it, because through video, students can listen to the audio, how to pronounce words including the stress and the intonation.
So, the questionnaire contained several questions about what kind of video they wanted to watch. Then, the researcher would analyze them to conclude what
video the researcher should use in the teaching and learning process. 4. Documentations
Documentations involved taking photographs, audiotape and videotape recording to monitor and to evaluate the actions. Meanwhile, the quantitative data
were gained pre-test, progress test and post-test to measure the improvement of students’ speaking skills.
F. Data Analysis Technique
The data were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and students’ speaking scores. To analyze the data, the researcher used the qualitative and
quantitative descriptive analysis. The qualitative data were analyzed by using stages suggested by Burns 1999 as follow:
1. Assembling the data 2. Coding the data
3. Comparing the data
4. Building interpretation 5. Reporting the outcomes
The quantitative data obtained from speaking performances were analyzed by using quantitative descriptive analysis. The quantitative data were presented in the
form of tables and mean scores.
G. Research Procedure
The researcher used the procedure of action Research proposed by Kemmis and McTaggart1998 in Burns 2010. The procedure is as follow:
1. Reconnaissance
In this stage, the researcher found out valuable information concerning on the students’ speaking skills. The researcher identified the problems and obstacles in
teaching speaking by observing in the class and interviewing the teacher and the students.
2. Planning
After doing observations and interviews in reconnaissance stage, the researcher made some plans to determine feasible actions to be implemented in the
field. In planning the actions, the researcher worked together with the English teacher. The action plan was using videos as teaching media and was aimed at
improving the students’ speaking skills.
