The objectives of this research are: (1) to describe whether animation movie can improve the students’ motivation in the learning English or not; (2) To describe the difficulties when implementing animation movie in this research.
The action research study was conducted in two cycles from February to May 2015. There are 3 meetings in the first cycle and 2 meetings in the second cycle. Every cycle consisted of four steps: planning, implementing, observation, and reflection. The research data were collected by using qualitative techniques (observation, interview, diary and document analysis) and quantitative techniques (pre-test and post-test). The data were analyzed through descriptive analysis for the qualitative data and descriptive statistics for the quantitative data.
The research findings showed that: (1) the implementation of animation movie could improve students’ motivation in the learning English. The students’ motivation had improved along with the changes of classroom situation which became more interesting and motivating. The improvement of the students’ achievement was proved by the mean score of their post-test that was higher than the base score. The mean score of writing test increased from 64.56 in the pre-test, 76.55 in test 1 and in the post-test became 80.26. (2) the difficulties when implementing animation movie in this research, included: a) sometimes the LCD screen could not be connected to the laptop well; b) most of students could not catch up with the speed of the speaker; c) students concentrated more on the animation movie but they forgot with the assignment; and d) the number of sound systems available in the school was limited.
From the results above, it could be concluded that animation movie is an alternative teaching media that benefits both for students’ achievement and for the classroom situation. It is recommended that the teacher can implement animation movie to overcome the students’ motivation problems.

Enhancing Students’ Motivation In Learning English By Optimizing The Use Of Animation Movie (An Action Research at the Tenth Grade Students of SMA Negeri 2 Karanganyar in the Academic Year of 2014/2015). Skripsi. Pembimbing 1: Dra. Dewi Rochsantiningsih, M. Ed, Ph. D., Pembimbing 2: Drs. Muh. Asrori, M.Pd., Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Univesitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) untuk menberikan gambaran apakah penggunaan film animasi sebagai media pengajaran dapat meningkatkan motivasi siswa atau tidak; (2) untuk mendeskripsikan kesulitan yang dihadapi ketika film animasi diterapkan di dalam penelitian ini.
Penelitian ini adalah action research yang dilaksanakan dalam 2 siklus dari February hingga Mei 2015. Terdapat 3 pertemuan dalam siklus pertama dan 2 pertemuan dalam siklus kedua. Setiap siklus terdiri dari 4 langkah: perencanaan, melaksanaan, pengamatan, dan peninjauan kembali. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan teknik kualitatif (pengamatan, wawancara, diari dan analisa dokumen) dan teknik kuantitatif (pre-test dan post-test). Data kualitatif dianalisa menggunakan descriptive statistic.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa: (1) penerapan film animasi dapat meningkatkan motivasi siswa di dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris. Motivasi siswa dapat meningkat seiring dengan situasi kelas menjadi lebih menarik dan motivatif. Peningkatan hasil nilai siswa dapat dilihat dari nilai rata-rata di tes pertama lebih meningkat daripada nilai di awal tes. Nilai rata-rata dapat meningkat dari 64,56 di awal tes, 76,55 di tes pertama dan di akhir tes menjadi 80.26. (2) Kesulitan yang dihadapi ketika film animasi diterapkan di dalam penelitian ini, termasuk: a) terkadang layar LCD tidak dapat tersambung dan menyala dengan baik; b) sebagian siswa tidak dapat menangkap kecepatan suara dalam film animasi; c) siswa lebih berkonsentrasi terhadap film animasi tetapi lupa akan tugasnya; d) jumlah sound system di sekolah yang kurang mencukupi.
Dari hasil diatas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa film animasi sebagai alternatif media pengajaran membawa kebaikan dalam nilai siswa maupun situasi kelas. Sangat disarankan bagi guru supaya dapat menerapkan film animasi untuk menyelesaikan masalah motivasi siswa.
