Abstract
Videos are one of entertaining products that can be used as an aid in English Language Teaching (ELT). Previous studies suggest that videos can help students to understand English lessons better than usual aids such as books or written texts. Lialikhova (2014) states that videos can be a good stimulus for the students to learn English especially enhancing their vocabulary. This study was aimed to find students’ perceptions towards the use of videos in the English language classroom, especially in vocabulary lessons. In conducting this research, questionnaire and observation were used. The researcher took the data from Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) Negeri 2 Tayu, Kecamatan Tayu, Kabupaten Pati. The participants were 60 students from two different classes in the same grade. The finding shows that most of the students tend to have positive perceptions toward the use of videos in teaching and learning processes.
