ABSTRACT

Ariyuni, Eka Desi. 2103321010. The Effect of Using Video on Students’

Achievement in Writing procedure Text. A Thesis. English Department.

Faculty of Languages and Arts. States University of Medan. 2014.

This study aims at discovering the effect of using videos on students’ achievement in writing procedure text. It was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of this research was grade XI students of SMA Swasta Sinar Harapan Lubuk Pakam with 70 Students as samples who were divided into two groups, namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by using Videos, while the control group was taught by using without Videos. The instrument used to collect the data was by asking the students to write a procedure text. After analyzing the data, it was found that the value of t-observed was 4,79 with the degree of freedom (df)=68 at the level of significance 0,05. It means that t-observed was higher than t-table (4,79 > 2,00). The result of this study showed that teaching by using Videos was higher than that by using without Videos. It implies that video is appropriate to be applied for writing procedure text.

CHAPTER I

from elementary school up to University level. But actually, there are still many

people who are not able to write in English well.

In learning English as a foreign language the four language skills must be

well-mastered by students. All of these language skills are very important to

everyone especially for students to become fluent in English. Writing is one of the

four language skills that plays a very important role in second language learning.

Harmer (2004:79) states that writing as a skill by far the most important reason for

teaching writing, of course, that is a basic language skill, just as important as

speaking, listening, and reading. Students need to know how to write letters, how

to put written reports together, how to replay to advertisements – and increasingly,

how to write using electronic media. They need to know some of writings’ special

conventions (punctuation, paragraph construction, etc.) just as they need to know

how to pronounce spoken English appropriately. Langan (2001:14) states that

writing is a skill, it makes sense that the more you practice writing, the better you

(14)

ability to express yourself in writing, you don’t pass the course. Basically, writing

is expression idea, opinion, experience, or information in the mind of the writer

into the form of written language.

Writing skills are specific abilities which help the students put their

thoughts into words in a meaningful form and to mentally interact with the

message. It involves a different kind of mental process (Khoii, 2011:494). There is

more time to think, to reflect, to prepare, to rehearse, to make mistakes, and to

find alternatives.

The procedure text is one of the genres in writing that must be

well-mastered by the students. They must be able to write a procedure text in their

daily life, procedure text is used to make some steps or get something done. That

is why procedure text is very important to be learnt.

Based on the writer’s experience of observation in SMA Swasta Sinar

Harapan Lubuk Pakam and teacher’s explanation about the weakness of students

in writing, it was found that many students could not write properly. It has been

known that writing is the most difficult skill in the learning process of English

writing. They did not pay attention and enthusiasm on the writing task. They

perhaps have idea in their mind but they do not know how to recognize their point

of views in writing. Besides, most of them just copied the materials from the

internet. Teacher are not able to create interesting media in teaching and learning

process so the students can not enjoy their lessons. So that the teacher must

choose a suitable media of teaching writing. The teaching process will not give a

(15)

To solve the problem above, the teacher must have relevant ways to help

the students to improve their writing. Therefore, the teaching learning process will

run well, and the students can be more comfortable in the class as well as they can

improve their achievement in writing procedure text. There are many ways that

can be done to teach procedure text. In this study, media is one of the tools that

can be applied. Various media can be used in a teaching-learning process such as

pictures, diagram, chart, and video. A teacher should have the right media to

present the topics to the students. This study will use video as the media to

improve students’ writing achievement in procedure text.

Harmer (2003:282) states that video can add a special, extra dimension to

the learning experience : First, Seeing language-in-use : one of the main

advantages of video is that students do not just hear language, they see it too. This

greatly aids comprehension, since foe example; general meaning and moods are

often conveyed through expression, gesture and other visual clues. Second,

cross-cultural awareness : video unique allows students a look at situations far beyond

their classroom. Video is also of great value in giving students a change to see

such things as what kinds of food people eat in other countries and what they

wear. Third, the power of creation : when the students use video cameras

themselves they are given the potential to create something memorable and

enjoyable. And last motivation, for all of the reason so far mentioned, the students

show an increased level of interest when they have a chance to see language in use

(16)

build their confidence, especially in procedure text, the video helps students to

improving writing achievement.

A recent research was conducted by Ritonga (2014) the result of which

was that video improved student’s achievement in writing news item. In 2013,

Permatasari (2013) found that there was an improvement of the students’ writing

narrative text after the students were taught by using video. Another study

conducted by Febriyanti (2012) showed that based on data analyses, the use of

videos improved the students’ ability in writing narrative text. Here, in this

research, the study will be focused on the effect of using video on students’

achievement in writing procedure text. So, using video can be one of the media to

improve students’ achievement especially in writing procedure text. It is also

expected that the students become more creative to write, enjoy, and it can

motivate students to study seriously since the students are interested by watching

a video.

B.The Problem of The Study

Based on the background of study, the problem of study will be formulated as

follows :“Is there any significant effect of using video on students’ achievement

in writing procedure text?”

C. The Objective of the Study

In relation to the problem mentioned previously, the objective of the study is

(17)

D.The Scope of the Study

There are so many media that can be applied in teaching English. Media is

effective to be applied in teaching English since it can give much information

which can motivate students to master some language skills and one of those

skills is writing. In line with the application of media in teaching English, this

study is focused on the use of video in teaching writing a procedure text.

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

A.Conclusions

The application of video for teaching writing procedure text shows that

t-observed value 4.79, with the degree of freedom (df) 68 is higher than the value of

t-table 2.00 at the level significance of 0.05 of two tailed test. This finding shows

that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) is

rejected. Therefore, it implies that video is appropriate to be applied for writing

procedure text.

B.Suggestions

Based on the result of the study, the suggestions can be stated as the

following:

1. English teachers, it is suggested to use video as a media in teaching writing

because this media is not only provide sounds, but also it provides pictures,

gestures, facial expression that give more understanding about what was

happening it the video, so that the students can expand the ideas easily and

interest.

2. English learners, video should be applied in learning english. The activities

of this media can make teaching learning process more enjoyable and

(20)

3. Other researchers to develop the research by using video on other writing

genres or language skill in conducting further research as it significantly
