6. Revising the Plan Based on the weaknesses found from the activity that has been carried
out, the researcher revises the plan for the next cycle. It is done to get better results of the method she applied.
E. The Techniques of Collecting the Data
In this classroom action research, the researcher uses qualitative and quantitative methods in collecting the data. Each of them is explained as follows:
1. Observation In this research, the observation was done to describe the activities and class
situation during the teaching-learning process when the YouTube video applied. When the researcher that is also a teacher taught vocabulary using
video, the observer observes, evaluates, and offers suggestion about the application of video in English class.
2. Documents The documents were in the form of lesson plans and students’ worksheets and
it was used to gain the information about the students’ progress in vocabulary competence.
3. Interview The researcher used interview to get information from the students toward
their perception about English, their understanding about the lesson, and the strength and weaknesses of the application of video in teaching-learning
process. It was held at the beginning and the end of the research. 4. Research diary
In this research, the researcher made her own diaries to write some important notes toward the students’ behavior and also its improvement during teaching-
learning process. 5. Photographs
By taking photographs, it helped the researcher to describe the real situation during teaching-learning process.

6. Tests In this research, the tests involved pretest and posttests. Pretest was given to
identify the students’ vocabulary before the method applied while posttests were given to measure the improvement of students’ vocabulary after applying
video in English class.
F. The Techniques of Analyzing the Data
After collecting the data, the next step is analyzing the data. In order to analyze the qualitative data gained from observation, interview, research diary,
documents, and photographs, the researcher analyzes them by using interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman 1992: 16. The procedures are as
follows: 1. Data Reduction
Data reduction refers to the process of selecting, focusing, simplifying, abstracting, and transforming the data appear in written-up field notes or
transcription. Data reduction is a form of analysis that sharpens, sorts, focuses, discards, and organizes data in such a way that “final” conclusions can be drawn
and verified. 2. Data Display
Generally, a display is an organized, compressed assembly of information that permits conclusions drawing and action. The most frequent form of display
for qualitative data has been extended text. 3. Conclusion DrawingVerification
Conclusion drawing is only a half of a Gemini configuration. Conclusions are also verified as the analyst proceeds. Verification may be as a brief as a
fleeting second thought crossing the analyst’s mind during writing. On the other hand, the pretest and posttests that belong to the quantitative
data were presented with the mean score of pretest and posttests and analyzed by descriptive statistics. The formula as follows:
