answering questions since they were shy and afraid to make mistakes. However, they were interested in learning English using videos. Most of them said that their
English skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing also improved. They vocabulary list and knowledge about English increased. They said that they
were happy to have videos in their English learning since it was different from the traditional class, and it did not make them bored. Most of them said that they were
enthusiastic to learn English using videos in the next meeting.
2. Students’ Recommendations to Improve and to Maximize the Use of
Videos in Learning English
The use of videos had given positive effects to the students that lead them to have positive perception. However, the use of videos in English learning should
be developed from many aspects since it had much potential to help students in learning English. Therefore, below were the students’ recommendations to
improve and to maximize the use of videos in learning English. The first recommendation was about the videos. It was better for the
teacher to update the video materials. For instance, the teachers used modern videos whose characters were teenagers, or used video clip of group band music.
It was recommended that the students have clear pictures and be more enthusiastic in learning English.
The second recommendation was about the activities. It was better to have more activities such as the students were asked to make a drama based on the
video topic, the students were asked to have group discussion on the characters
69
and the problem raised in the videos and then presenting it in front of the class, the students were asked to fill in the song lyrics, and afterward they sang together.
The third recommendation was about the time duration and the LCD. It was better not to have too long time duration of the videos viewing since it could
make the students bored, and when the videos were viewed using wall as the screen, it was better that there was nothing at the wall such as blackboard which
could cut the pictures that were showed in the screen. The fourth recommendation was about the use of computers in language
laboratory. According to them, it was better if students were given chances to watch the videos individually in their computers. They could replay the videos as
they wanted to have clear understanding about the video content. All the recommendations above were derived from the students. They
hoped that their recommendations could be realized in the teaching and learning process. They also hoped that their recommendations could improve and
maximize the use of videos in learning English.
B. Suggestions
After conducting the research, the researcher had some suggestions for the English teachers and the students that were related to the use of videos in English
learning. The research findings gave results that students’ perception on the use of videos in learning English was positive. Knowing that it was positive, it was
better for the teachers to continue using the videos since it could help students in learning English. Moreover, in order to improve the use of videos, teachers should
be creative in finding interesting activities. Therefore, it was better for the
70
teachers to update the videos and find activities that could make or even force the students to be active in the teaching and learning process. For instance, the teacher
used a chain story. After viewing, the students were asked to retell the video story in turns. A student said a sentence and the next student said a sentence again to
continue the story. Hopefully, students who were shy or afraid could also be active in the process of teaching and learning. The teachers should also give
reading activities for the students so that the students’ reading skill could also improve.
The successful of teaching and learning process was influenced by the teachers and the students. Therefore, to have a successful learning, students
should be confident. It was better for them not to be afraid to make mistakes as they could learn the correct one from their mistakes. They should be brave in
sharing their ideas. They should also have desire to find books or ask friends or teachers whenever they had difficulties in order to obtain a progress. It was also
better for students to motivate themselves to be active in the teaching and learning process.
