In this study, the writer would implement the definition of perception and perceptual process as the basis to determine how the
students’ perceptions toward video project in speaking class are formed. The researcher uses a theory from
Haire 1956 as cited by Gibson, Ivancevich, Donnelly 1973, which says that a perception is a process of recognizing information and it is compared with previous

project which is given to them. Moreover, the relation between perception and learning is used to analyze how the success of learning English is also defined by the
students’ perceptions toward the implementation one of teaching media which is called a video project.
