Department. Faculty of Languages and Arts, State University of Medan,
Medan: 2014.
This study was conducted in order to know the effect of using Undubbed Video
on students’ achievement in Writing Recount Text. It was an experimental
research. The population of the research was X grade of SMA Panca Budi Medan,
Academic Year 2014/2015. Two classes were chosen as the sample and were
divided into two groups, experimental group and control group. The experimental

group was taught by using Undubbed Video and the control group was given no
treatment. The instrument used to collect the data was writing essay test. To
obtain the reliability of the test, inter-rater formula was used. The result of the
reliability was 0,8. It means the test was substantially reliable. The data were
analyzed by using t-test formula. The analysis showed that the average scores of
the students in the experimental group was significantly higher than the average
scores of the students in the control group at the level of significant α = 0,05 with
the degree of freedom (df) 43 with t-observed value 6,77 > t-table value 2,17. The
findings indicated that using Undubbed Video significantly affected the students’
achievement in writing recount text. So, English teachers were suggested to use
Undubbed Video in order to improve students’ achievement in writing especially
in recount writing.
Keywords: Undubbed video, Students’ achievement in writing recount text

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of the Study
Systemic Functional Linguistics has been developed for around half a century
now, in an ever-growing number of contexts around the world. For a long time,
English dominated as the „metalanguage‟ in which Systemic Functional
Linguistics (SFL) was constructed in speech and writing (Matthiessen et., 2010:
xi). Like scientists in general, systemic functional linguists can thus be instance
observers or system observers; but while observing instances is in a sense similar
to what we do as speakers when we engage with texts (speaking, listening;
writing, reading), observing the system always involves taking a step back, as it
were, in order to be able to take in a huge enough volume of texts to make
reasonably reliable generalizations about the system (Halliday in Matthiessen et
al., 2010:123).
In line with that, writing is one of important mediums to express ourselves to
communicate, and find meaning. The needs of writing increasingly enhances by
existence of development of recent media of mass communication. Therefore,
applying, practicing, and studying about writing remain to be important part of
school curriculum and become central part in English.
As contained in senior high school curriculum of 2013. Study of writing skill
is addressed to attainment of student in ability to express various meaning correctly through steps in writing a text about a topic related to real experience or daily
activity by using variety of written language. In the curriculum recount text is one

1

2

of the text genres that should be achieved by the students in tenth
grader. Formally, recounts are sequential texts that do little more than sequence a
series of events. Every story, no matter how simple, needs an orientation. In other
words recount is an activity of retelling story about experiences in the past in
sequent.
In fact, based on the preliminary observation was done by writer in SMA
Panca Budi Medan on X grader in May 20th, 2014. The English Teacher (NH)
states that there are many students could not achieve 76 points as the minimal
completeness criterion (KKM), especially in writing recount text. Then in number
of 84% or 21 students could not achieve 76 points of the KKM. Surprisingly,
only16% or 4 students could achieve the minimum completeness criterion.
Based on this finding, writer concludes that students' achievement in English
writing of personal recount is still below the minimal completeness criterion. So it
means that the students have no competence to write a personal recount text yet.
Based on this preliminary observation the writer can conclude as follow. First,
Students are difficult to find idea to be written, second, difficult to make a suitable
sentence to start writing, and third, students are tend to write less complete
grammar.
In addition, based on the writer‟s experience in Integrated Teaching Practice
Program (PPL) in 2013 in SMP Negeri 1 Sei Rampah, the writer faced the similar
condition. The writer found that there are many factors that make students have
problem in learning writing skill. The students are lack of ideas, vocabulary, and
grammar.

3

Actually, there are many types of media which can be used as teaching and
learning instrument such as pictures, diagram, chart, map, flashcard, slides, poster,
video, and so on. But, a teacher also should be able to choose the suitable one
especially in teaching recount texts.
Using media in teaching process is already common in educating students.
There are several studies use similar teaching media. But its difference is in the
writer‟s custom and background. Lubis (2013) conducted a study about how to
improve students' speaking achievement in reporting procedure text by using
video. She proved that using video significantly improved the students‟ speaking
achievement. In line with that study, Khasanah (2013) researched the
effectiveness of Charlie Chaplin video as a medium to teach writing narrative text.
As we know, Charlie Chaplin video is a video without any subtitle, narration or
dialogue. So, it is similar to undubbed video. Simultaneously, it can improve
student achievement in writing by guessing and arranging their original sentences.
So, the students cannot cheat any words from the video. Different from the two
studies above, Seago in Brophy (2004) conducted a very interesting study about
using video as an object inquiry for mathematics teaching and learning. In this
study he inquired how a teaching media like video can effectively work in
mathematics teaching and learning process. He investigated that delivering the
material in class by using video can help students understand the topic easily. He
also provides tips and trick how to use video in the mathematics class. It can be
concluded that video is not only helpful for mathematics class but also others, for

4

instance English class. It means video is effective teaching media to help student
get the material easily.
From the relevant studies above, the writer told that his study is different
from the studies above because in this study the writer used a teaching media by
modifying the conventional video become an undubbed video was applied on
teaching writing recount text. The writer also made some recounting story videos
that have been undubbed to be used in the class. However, those previous studies
gave some contributes to this study. It supported the writer to vary the aspects or
problems investigated in order to bring the new finding.
Concerning on the explanation above an appropriate media is needed to
deliver the lesson to the students well. In this study the writer used undubbed
video as an effective media of teaching recount text to the students. This
undubbed video as a teaching media is more excellent than conventional video as
teaching media. In this case undubbed video is a video without narration, subtitle,
or dubbing. So, automatically it stimulated students mind to imagine the story at
the same time creating their original sentences without imitating any words in
video and finishing the recount text writing well.
Thus, this study is designed to identify the effect of undubbed video on
students‟ achievement in writing recount text. However, the evidences on its
effectiveness need to be found, especially in the context of teaching writing
achievement. The research needs to be conducted to obtain such evidences.

B. The Problem of Study
Based on the backdground of study above, so the research problem can be
formulated as follows:
“Does the use of undubbed video significantly affect the students‟ achievement in
writing recount text?”
C. The Scope of Study
The research focuses its study on the use of undubbed video on students'
achievement in writing recount text. In this case, the writer limits only in writing
personal recount text. Technically , personal recount type was chosen by the
writer not only intended to improve students' writing in recount text but also as a
medium of self-expression of students to make student become more responsive
in understanding about the recount text writing.
D. The Objective of the Study
The objective of this study is to know the effect of undubbed video on the
students' achievement in writing recount text.
E. The Significance of the Study
The findings of this study is expected to be theoretically and practically give
benefit or helpfulness, especially to apply the undubbed video as media of recount
text teaching. Then, generally this study is also expected has two benefits both
theoretically and practically.
1.

Theoretical benefits

theory of education and teaching, mainly for English learning in schools. So

6

that can add the knowledge which is useful for everyone. Especially in
developing the ability and creativity in conducting the teaching and learning
for English subject.
2.

Pratical benefits
a.

Practically
1)

For English teacher, this research finding can be used as knowledge
and skill to construct program of English learning in school.

2) For students, this research practically helps the student to produce a
good recount paragraph that is stimulated by undubbed video and
motivated the students to have a better achievement in writing
recount text.
3) For next researcher, this research can be used as initial experience in
conducting a similar research widely.
4) For institution, this research finding is expected to give contribution
in impelementing the undubbed video as a media of teaching for
