ABSTRACT

Rakhmawati, Juniar Dwi. 2014. Improving the Listening Ability of the Eighth
Grade Students of SMP 4 Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014 by Using
Movie. Skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher Training and
Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors : (i) Diah Kurniati,

S.Pd, M.Pd, (ii) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd.
Key words: Listening ability, movie, eighth grade students of SMP 4 Kudus

Everybody has learned their language since they were children, especially
about their mother tongue. The process occurs naturally and properly with a view
to communicate in society. Listening comprehension is so improtant because the
students learn a lot of vocabulary and grammar from listening activities. Students
communicate storyline of the film, whicy offers both a visual and audio depiction
of dialogue and story in apotential real-life situation, using real emotions, diction,
tone and slang, which can sometimes be lost in a classroom environment. The
eighth grade students of SMP 4 Kudus had problem during learning process,
especially in listening skill. Based on the personal conversation with the teacher,
the students were still difficult to understand the meaning of the text and did not
catch the words well and the score of the students were under passing grade. To
solve these problem, the writer used movie as a media of teaching to improve the
listening ability. Movie as a media of teaching allows the learners to access more
information while listening. The students not only can listen the audio but also
they can see the contains of movies.
The main objective of this research is to know whether movie as a media of
teaching can improve the listening ability of the eighth grade students of SMP 4

Kudus in academic year 2013-2014. To know the improvement above, the writer
also has to know about the implementation of movie and also the listening ability
of the eighth grade students.
The design of this research was a classroom action research. This research
conducted in the classroom with the aim improving the listening ability of the
eighth grade students of SMP 4 Kudus. The writer conducted two cycles and
every cycle used two movies. The teacher taught the students by using movie and
the writer observed the teacher and students activities in the process of teaching
listening by using movie. Here, the writer used observation sheet to observe the
teaching learning process and test to measure the listening ability of the eighth
grade students.
The data analysis shows that movie can improve the listening ability of the
eighth grade students of SMP 4 Kudus. From the calculation, the average score

ix

from the first cycle is 70,69 with the highest score is 100 and lowest score is 40.
In the second cycle there was significant improvement by the score of the
students. The mean score is 90,34 with the highest score is 100 and the lowest
score is 80. It means that the listening ability of the eighth grade students are

improved. From the observation sheet, the writer knoes that the students looked
happily and imitate the voice of movies, so the students were not bored.
From the fact above, the writer suggests for the English teacher can use
movie as a media of teaching not only for listening skill but also for another skill
to make the difference situation in teaching learning process and solved the
teacher problem during the teaching learning process. For the students, they can
use movie as a learning media to make the students fun, enjoy, and raise their
vocabularies.

ABSTRAK

Rakhmawati, Juniar Dwi. 2014. Peningkatan Kemampuan Mendengar pada Kelas
Delapan Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014 Menggunakan Film. Skripsi. Program
Studi: Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan.
Universitas Muria Kudus. Penguji: (i) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd, M.Pd, (ii) Dra.
Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd.
Key words: Kemampuan mendengarkan, film, siswa kelas delapan SMP 4 Kudus
Setiap orang telah belajar tentang bahasa sejak kecil, khususnya tentang

bahasa ibu. Proses itu secara alami sedikit banyak mempengaruhi dalam
komunikasi bermasyarakat. Pemahaman mendengar sangat penting karena para
siswa belajar bantuk tentang penguasaan kata dan grammar dari aktifitas
mendengarkan. Siswa-siswa berkomunikasi melalui jalan cerita sebuah film,
melalui audio dan visual dan gambaran sebuah dialog dan cerita yang potensial
dari kehidupan nyata, menggunakan emosi, nada dan logat yang terkadang terjadi
di luar lingkungan sekolah. Siswa kelas delapan SMP 4 Kudus mempunyai
masalah dalam proses belajar, khususnya dalam kemampuan mendengar. Melalui
percakakapn pribadi dengan guru, para siswa masih kesulitan dalam memahami
teks dan susah menangkap kata dengan baik dan nilai para siswa juga masih
dibawah KKM. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini, penulis menggunakan film
sebagai media pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mendengarkan.
Film sebagai meida pembelajaran memberikan kesempatan kepada pelajar untuk
mengakses banyak informasi sambil mendengarkan. Siswa-siswa juga tidak hanya
mendengar suara tapi juga mereka bisa melihat isi dari film itu.
Tujuan utama penelitian ini umtuk mengetahui apakah film sebagai media
pembelajaran bisa meningkatkan kemampuan mendengar pada siswa-siswa kelas
delapan SMP 4 Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Untuk mengetahui peningkatan
diatas, penulis juga harus mengetahui penerapan film dan juga kemampuan
mendengar siswa kelas delapan.

Model penelitian ini adalah penelitian dalam kelas. Penelitian ini diadakan
di dalam kelas dengan tujuan meningkatkan kemampuan mendengar siswa kelas
delapan SMP 4 Kudus. Penulis mengadakan penelitian dua siklus, setiap siklus
ada dua film. Guru mengajar siswa menggunakan film dan penulis mengamati
kegiatan guru dan siswa dalam proses belajar mengajar dengan menggunakan
film. Disini, penulis mengguanakan observation sheet untuk mengetahui prosess
belajar mengajar siswa dan tes untuk mengukur kemampuan mendengar siswa
kelas delapan.
Analisis data menunjukkan bahwa film dapat meningkatkan kemampuan
mendengarkan pada siswa kelas delapan SMP 4 Kudus. Dari perhitungan, ratarata nila dari siklus pertama adalah 70.69 dengan nilai tertinggi 100 dan nilai

xi

terendah 40. Pada siklus kedua ada peningkatan yang signifikan dari nilai siswa.
Rata-rata nilai adalah 90.34 dengan nilai tertinggi 100 dan terendah 80. Ini
menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan mendengar siswa meningkat. Dari observation
sheet, penulis juga mengetahui bahwa siswa terlihat bahagia dan menirukan suara
film jadi mereka tidak merasa bosan.
Dari fakta diatas, penulis menyarankan untuk guru Bahasa Inggris bisa
menggunakan film sebagai media pembelajaran bukan hanya untuk skill

mendengar tapi juga pada keahlian lain untuk membuat situasti belajar mengajar
yang berbeda dan memecahkan masalah guru selama prosess belajar mengajar.
Untuk siswa, mereka juga bisa meggunakan film sebagai media belajar untuk
membuat siswa senang, nyaman dan meningkatkan kosakata mereka.
