f. Factors Which Help Students in Speaking
According to Harmer 2004, there are three factors that help students in speaking. The first is preparation. Preparation is an important factor if students
want to have better performances in their speeches. They need time to think what they are going to say. They need more practices in speaking because English is a
foreign language. English is not their mother tongue, so they are not accustomed to speak English. As cited in Harmer 2004, Mennim 2003 states that before
final presentation, the students’ preparation are to record what they are going to make, transcribe what they want to say and correct the recordings.
The second reason is the value of repetition Harmer, 2004. Repetition is an important factor because repetition lets students to improve what they already did.
When they repeat their tasks one or twice, it is their rehearsal for final effort. Repetition makes them be more confident because they got chance to analyze and
improve what they have done. The following figure shows the process of speaking which is described by Howarth 2001.

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
