CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A.The Background of The Study
Language has a central role in the development of intellectual, social and
emotional learners. Language learning is expected to help in the process of
introduction of learners and cultural as well as the culture of others itself. In
addition, language learning also helps learners to state opinions, ideas, feelings,
analysis and participation to the community. There are four skills that we must
understand in English. They are Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.
One of the purposes of teaching English in senior high school is to develop
students’ communication ability in oral or written English. The using of English
as a language related to any fields such as science and technology, business and
economics and social sciences. But for formal school education, English becomes
a compulsory subject not only for senior high school students but also in junior
high school and elementary school. Nevertheless, most of pre-elementary school
is using English as their second language. It reflects that English is considered as
international language which plays an important role in this global world.
Peter (1953:2) on book The Researchers Resource stated that the basic skill
is the ability to organize and express ideas in writing and speaking. It means
through writing students are able to express idea, opinion, experiences, comment
and information in the form of written language. Through writing, students’ will
2
express their idea, opinion, experience and the constant use of eyes, hand and
brain to reinforce learning a new language.
The students’ proficiency in writing skill is still disappointing. It is
generally can be seen that a lot of student during the writing task are sometimes
stuck and cannot continue to complete their writing task for some simple reason,
lack in vocabulary or having no more idea. They may have qualification in
speaking, but it doesn’t guarantee that they can also have qualification in writing
because sometimes it is much easier to share ideas orally than organize them in
written language.
Writing is about how you can transfer your understanding by what you see
or you have been comprehend by write it until the readers could know what you
are thinking and how you feeling. Writing is one of the hardest things that people
do for it requires thinking (Schwegler, 1985). Lindamen (1987:11) state that
writing is a process of communication that introduce graphic symbols such as
words, phrases and sentences later formed to become a paragraph that can convey
the message to the readers.
In teaching English, It is particularly complicated because in the classroom,
we will face a bunch of technique applied to the students’ with the expectation
that they are able to or easy to understand the lesson. As a teacher, it is necessary
to find new teaching media to overcome the problems and not forget to motivate
the students. Some teachers maybe have used games, pictures, songs, real object,
cartoon and movie as their teaching media to grow the student creativity in
3
Movie is one of the audio visual materials that can be used as media
learning in teaching English. Movie involves sounds, objects, pictures, and
actions. This media can be used to the learners through movie by giving them the
exposure to everyday conversational English not normally taught in the traditional
teaching English method. Movie (English movie) is kind of edutainment
(education and entertainment) field (www.movielearn/english.com)
Susan and Barry (1990) state that the combination of moving picture and
sound can present language more comprehensively than any other teaching media
and more realistically too. Using video sequence in class is the next best thing to
experiencing the sequence in learners real life.
In this study, movie is chosen as a media for teaching review text. Film, also
called a movie, is a series of still or moving images. It is produced by
recording photographic images with cameras, or by creating images
using animation techniques or visual effects. The process of film making has
developed into an art form and industry. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film)
Using English movie can be very pleasing and interesting for the students.
Movie can be an excellent media to use because from the researcher view that
there are many students interested in movies because they watch movies as an
entertainment. They can learn about language style, culture, and also the native
speaker’s expression. So they can improve their writing skill more easily.
Providing students with sound, image, and text video becomes one of media
providing “lively situation” (Maggi, 1988, Cited in Cahyono, 1997:129) which
4
use of videos to enhance language learning have been conducted. It was a
Classroom Action Research (CAR) applied in SMA Negeri 4 Malang by
Febriyanti Nurcahyasari and Enny Irawati, resulting an improvement of students’
ability in writing narrative text by using music videos. In her study, the students’
improvement was discovered through the students’ scores after the
implementation of action, in which 93% of students attained scores above 75.
Furthermore, most of their writing were excellent in terms of content,
organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. It showed that the
implementation of music video could be an alternative to help students in
improving their ability in writing narrative text. Another study was an
experimental study applied in SMA 2 Mranggen by Rachmah (2011), resulting an
improvement of students’ narrative writing skill after using video clip. The use of
Mr. Bean videos successfully contributed to the eight graders’ improvement in
writing recount texts by Wahyudiyati (2011). Those studies indicated the use of
video/movies could give an invaluable contribution towards language learning.
Media such as a movie has a very significant roles to motivate the student to
learn vocabulary and to make the atmosphere of teaching and learning more
interesting. They will feel something new and different from what they usually get
in their class. The researcher hopes that with the use of English movie they will
become more active as participant and more confident in express their feeling.
And also appropriate to review text, writing this genre develop students skill in
5
and order to make students have a concept about how to write a good article or
text that indicated with the generic structure of each kind of the text (genre).
