B. Implications
There were some implications due to the result of this research. The implications of the actions were described as follow.
1. The use of various media could make the students more enthusiastic to
learn the materials. This implies that the English teachers need to use various media such as videos instead of using the textbook only to teach
the students. 2.
The use of videos could improve the students’ speaking skills. Videos could help the students to learn the material easier by providing
appropriate models of English and presenting real context of communication for the students. This implies that the English teachers
could use the videos as the main media to teach. 3.
By using videos and applying classroom English supported by communicative speaking activities, the students got more opportunities to
practice the target language in a real-life situation. This implies that using videos supported by the interesting speaking activities could engage the
students’ willingness to speak and improve the students’ ability to speak in English.
4. The use of videos could increase the students’ vocabulary and improve the
students’ ability in grammar since they got many new words from the videos and learned how to arrange the words correctly as the native
speakers in the videos.
C. Suggestions
With regards to this research, the researcher proposes some suggestions for the students, English teacher and other researcher as follows.
1. For the students
The students have to be an active learner, both in the teaching and learning process in the classroom or in the real-life situation. They
have to be active on speaking in order to face the globalization era. They don’t need to be afraid of making mistakes since they are still
learning. 2.
For the English teacher In order to improve the students’ speaking skills, the teacher
should be more creative on implementing various techniques and using many kinds of interesting media to teach the students. The
videos can be one of the interesting media to teach to get more attention from the students.
3. For the other researchers
This research only focuses on improving the students’ speaking
skills by the use of videos. Therefore, other researchers may conduct any other research on implementing the use of videos to
improve the other skills of English. The other researchers with the same topic can also use this research as the references to help them
finishing their thesis.
