Review of Relevant Studies

school through senior high school. One of the language skills which has to be mastered by the students in learning English is speaking. In fact, most of the students consider that speaking English is difficult to be learnt by them. They cannot speak fluently, accurately, and appropriately in English because English is not their mother tongue. Because of it, most of them are shy and reluctant to speak in English in front of other people. They are worried of making mistakes. This case may be happened in teaching and learning process of English in Indonesia because the students do not get the appropriate models so they often use incorrect grammar, mispronounce words, and also use wrong intonation and stress patterns. Besides inappropriate models, the lack of media used in English teaching may also contribute to the failure of the teaching and learning process. In order to make students interested and motivated to learn English, the teacher should provide interesting learning media, especially to teach speaking because nowadays teacher tends to teach reading and writing more than to teach speaking. The use of video can give the students appropriate models in real situations and also give the enjoyable learning activity for the students so they can enjoy the teaching and learning process and understand the materials easily. It can improve both the quality of teaching and learning process and the students’ speaking skills. So, using video to improve students’ speaking skills is really helpful in teaching and learning process. CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD

A. Research Design

Based on research objective, this research is categorized into action research. Action research is related to the ideas of reflective teaching and the teacher as a researcher. Burn 2010:2 states that action research involves taking a self –reflective, critical, and systematic approach to exploring teachers’ own teaching context. Burns also stated that the aim of action research is to identify problematic situation that the participants consider worth looking into more deeply and systematically. It means, by doing an action research, the teachers can take an area that they feel could be done better, subjecting it to questioning, then developing new ideas and alternatives. So, in action research, a teacher becomes an investigator or explorer of his or her personal teaching context, while at the same time being one of the participants in it. Henning, Stone, and Kelly 2009 also points out that action research is conducted in local setting and undertaken for the purpose of improving by introducing more effective teaching strategies. Actually, there are some different models of action research proposed by some experts but this research would use the action research model proposed by Kemmis and McTaggart 1988 which is the most suitable one for the research conducted by the researcher. Here are the schema of the cycle of action research that was proposed by Kemmis and McTaggart.
