B. REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES
In conducting the study, I read and relate my research to some other related to researches. There are many studies concern about the learning autonomy and
project-based learning. The researches that I will review are about promoting learning autonomy and project based learning using video production. There are
two researchers sharing the similar stream as my study, which I try to review since those researchers give consideration in conduction my study. I would like to
present the summary of the researches to illustrate the concepts of those researches briefly.
The first research is conducted by Deng Dafei entitled An Exploration of the Relationship Between Learner Autonomy and English Proficiency 2007. There
is relationship between the students English proficiency and their learner autonomy. This study shows that the more autonomous a learner becomes, the
more likely he achieves high language proficiency. It is used as reference for this research because it discusses the relationship between learner autonomy and
language proficiency. The second research is entitled Exploring The Potential of Language
Learning Through Video Making by Masats, Dooly, and Costa 2009 conducted in Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain. This study is to find out how video
making can be used on language learning. The findings are the benefits of video production including as an integrative learning tool and the kinds of products
36
which can be produced in project-based classrooms. This study is used as resource for the researcher because it discusses the role of video making related
to students‟ language learning.
The third is conducted by Hafner and Miller 2011 entitled Fostering Learner Autonomy in English for Science: a Collaborative Digital Video Project
in a Technological Learning Environment in City University of Hong Kong. It describes the potential of the project to provide students with opportunities to
exercise their capacities as autonomous learner within a structured language learning context. The findings show that the students take advantages of the
affordances of the technological learning environment to exercise high degrees of autonomy. It is used as reference because it has similar discussion with this study
which is aimed at finding out the role of video project toward learner autonomy. Beside the researcher uses studies conducted abroad, she also relates to
studies conducted in Indonesia which are relevant to be used as references in this study. The fourth research is conducted by Pan Suk Oh entitled Enhancing
English Learner’s Competence by Using Video Resources 2010. It is conducted in the tenth graders of SMU Kr. Kalam Kudus in Solo which is aimed at finding
the effectiveness of video resources to enhance the learner‟s competence in English. The similarity of the Oh‟s study with this study is in the research design
which uses experimental research. Another similarity is that Oh‟s study uses video resources while this study uses video project. Both use video to promote
English competence. The difference between two studies is that in Oh‟s study, both experimental group and control group consist of two classes while in this
study, there is only one class for each experimental and control group.
37 The research entitled A Moodle Speaking Learning Model for Hotel
Accommodation Students of Vocational School by Rianti Nur Oktapuri 2012 is also used as reference for this study. Oktapuri‟s research explains more on
learning speaking and how to promote speaking related to the use of technology. It is relevant with this study because this study also emphasizes on how to
promote students‟ speaking skill.
The last research used is conducted by Aditialasmi Retno Untari entitled The Relationship of Computer-Mediated Communication, Learner Autonomy and
Learning Achievement of Information and Communication Technology Students 2012. The research which is conducted in ICT students of SMAN 3 Yogyakarta
is relevant to be used as a reference because of some similarities. Untari‟s research focuses on computer-mediated communication, learner autonomy, and
learning achievement while this study focuses on video project as part of technology, speaking skill, and learner autonomy. Some of points that has been
discussed in both study are similar that are the use of technology and learner autonomy. Another similarity is that Untari‟s research uses ICT students for
research object while this study uses nursing students as research object which means that both is related to English for Specific Purposes.
All previous studies enrich the researchers point of view to have deep understanding about some points as the use of technology related to promoting
students‟ English competence and learner autonomy. From the studies, it was also known that autonomous learning relates to learning strategies. While some
studies discuss about more points which are not relevant to this study, they provide adequate information and references of the important elements needed to
38
be discussed in this study. By reviewing those studies, the researcher tries to explore more in finding the how video project can be effective fo
r students‟ speaking skill and learner autonomy.
