CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A base of a good research is complete literatures that support every side of the research so that the researcher can use it as a guideline in this research. This
chapter explicitly presents a set of literature that is in line with the research itself. I use some theories that support this research and some previous studies that also
can be used as comparison with the current research. This chapter is generally divided into three parts, they are: previous studies, review of related literature, and
theoretical framework. Each part has its own function in supporting this research activity. Here are the complete discussions of literature I used.
2.1 Review of Previous Study
Writing is one of skills that is interesting to be researched. Many scientific studies have been conducted on this skill. Based on the studies which have been done
before, which use media, especially videos and pictures that can improve students‟ writing. Here are some previous studies which are relevant in teaching English
using videos. Ariyanti 2007 studied Teaching Speaking Using
“Follow Me” Conversation Videos as Audio-Visual Media the case study of the second year
students of SMK N 2 Semarang in the academic year of 20062007. The objectives‟ of this study were to describe the students‟ mastery in speaking before
and after the use of “Follow Me” conversation video and to analyze the
improvement of speaking using video. It showed that watching video activity was effective to improve students‟ mastery in speaking.
The second study was by Sugiarto 2008. His study was The Use Of Language Learning Video “New Kids English I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH” as a
Visual Aid for Teaching Vocabulary to Students of Elementary School The Case Study of the Fifth Grade Students of SDN Wilalung 1 Gajah Demak. The
objective of the study was to identify whether teaching vocabulary with language learning video “New Kids English I CAN SPEAK ENGLISH” for elementary
school was better that grammar translation method in reaching good achievement and to explain how language improve their vocabulary. It showed that there was a
significance differences in grades in vocabulary test achieved by students who have been taught with language learning video “New Kids English I CAN
SPEAK ENGLISH” from those taught with explanation. Turasih 2008 studied The Use of Series Pictures as a Media in Writing
Procedure Text The Case Study of Tenth Grade Students of SMA N 2 Pemalang in the Academic Year 20072008. The purpose of this study was to find out how
well pictures give contribution to the students in writing procedure text. The result of this study showed that pictures were effective helping students in writing
procedure text. From the three researchers above there is a field that has not been studied
by the researcher. Using television program as a guidance to teach students in writing activity seems as an interesting to be studied. According to that reason, the
use of television news program for teaching writing analytical exposition text considered as a research that needed to be done.
