INTRODUCTION
The success of teaching and learning activity stands or falls by the educators’ ability to create a classroom climate that is conductive to active participative learning by the learners (Jacobs et al.2001:2) he also said the following conditions for participative learning: each learners should express him/ herself freely, expression of one’s view should not be met with destructive criticism, the idea that for every question which exist one answer should be discarded, and learning by inquiry balances reception learning.
English is an international language that is very important to understand in easier of us to give communication to face the world wide society. In globalization era, we have to speak English in all different situations because much information such as book, literature, journal and other used in English.
The educator has a new method that already applied in the classroom to increase the students’ speaking motivation using video media. Therefore, researcher interests to analyze the learning English for specific purposes using video media to increase the nursing students’ speaking ability.
RESEARCH METHOD
This research used both qualitative and quantitative research methods to obtain the data for analysis stage. Qualitative research was the dominant research method and quantitative research was used only to reduce the data obtained using questionnaires and interviews. It used qualitative approach which is taken in the classroom as learning process happen. According to (Arikunto: 2010: 38)
“qualitative approach is a research procedure that produce a descriptive data with form of written or oral from the people were being observed”. The researcher used this approach to find out the comprehensive data of students in the 3rd semester Pemkab Jombang health school of science to the learning English achievement especially speaking. The expected result of this research is to build the confidence and motivation in improving the English speaking skill. Qualitative data makes it possible to exploe which events led to which consequences and to derive at explanation.. In this case, I as researcher and educator was one of the subjects of the study. It also refers to the variety of techniques. The insider’s view in qualitative research is able to observe event
Global Nursing Challenges in The Free Trade Era 99 while they are occurring. While observing the
events, the researcher becomes part of the natural setting. The seven weeks provided opportunity for continual data collection, observation of the participants in their natural settings (classroom)
To enhance the validity of qualitative research, researcher make an extensive data use triangulation. Denzin (in Babbie &
mouton, 2001:275) defines the triangulation as follows:
Triangulation or the use of multiple methods is a plan of action that will raise sociologist above the general biases that stem from the single methodologies. By combining the different data collecting methods and different investigators in same study.
Observers can partially overcome the deficiencies that flows from one investigator or method.
RESEARCH DESIGN
This research is used classroom action research as a research design. This research conducted because the researcher as a lecturer also found the phenomena of lower quality in learning English especially in speaking. She used 2 cycles to face the problems. This research is conducted on September 2015 when the process of teaching and learning in the 3rd semester academic year 2015/2016. The sample is all the students in the classroom total 30 students, while the object of research is all of the object in this research.
McNiff: 2010 said that “Action research is a form of enquiry that enables practitioners in every job and walk of life to investigate and evaluate their work”.
Classroom action research is a research that used by the educator to educate using better method and material, learning technique and learning materials visionary. Babbie and mouton (2001:277) explains that there are three types of qualitative research design i.e ethnographic study, case study, and action research. The emphasis of qualitative research is on human action in their natural setting. The action of people who involved in this research was described in detail and the researcher explored data to understand the actions of students in improving their speaking skill. She sees action research as means for bridging the gap both theory and practice. As defined by Kemmis and McTaggart (1988) action research consists of four phases that take place in 2
cycles. These four phases are planning, acting, observing and reflecting.
Planning – the researcher as an educator plans to make an interactive technique and plan before she goes to action.
She plans the interactive material, media and technique. It also needs the time management when using this video media technique.
Acting – it is the time for researcher to doing the activity that already planned it.
Lecture explains the way to introduce a nurse to the patient and how to construct the good dialogues between nurse and patient when a nurse asked the problem (case study). After knowing the form of introduction, she prepares the media (video media) to show the dialogue between patient and nurse.
Observing – the students simultaneously with the action. After showing the video media, lecture asked the students to practice with the peers using good collaboration. Lecture can know the situation in the classroom and from the body language of them.
Reflecting – the researcher reflects upon what is happening in their research, developing revised action plans based upon what they learned from the process of planning, acting and observing.
The qualitative research methodology used a data collected through interviews, observational technique, and questionnaires needed to be described and summarized. This study made limited uses of quantitative research in collected the data questionnaires.
By quantifying the data collected through questionnaires, the data was reduced. It become more manageable and easy to present using graphs and tables.
To gathering the data use different research instrument such as: interviews, to know the opinion about the use of video media to increase the quality of students in speaking skill. It use open-ended questions is to provide the opportunity of both researcher (interviewer) and students (interviewee) to cover all the topics more detail and depth.
Observation is the best instrument to gain the real picture of the activity of students in the way to improve their speaking skill using discussion, debate and make a dialogue with the video media technique. According to freebody(2003:82) describe the observation means participating in the action of people in the research setting in their ways of doing.
Global Nursing Challenges in The Free Trade Era 100 Questionnaires are easy to analyze and reduce
bias. The questions were divided into three aspects, they are:
- The first questionnaire deal with the educator’s teaching style with the classical ways
- The second was the learners understanding about speaking skill using video media
- The last was asking about the impact of video media in increasing their speaking skill
The last instrument was field notes, a problem have to record during observations and overall activity. The field notes can be written after any incident took place. It added more value in observation as the researchers’
record her own observation. During this activity, she could also record the body language, facial expression, and right pronunciation used by the learners.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Data analysis is the process of searching and arranging the interview transcript, questionnaires, and field notes that
accumulate to increase of data understanding.
Two structured questionnaires were design to gain the information from learners. The first questionnaire aimed to know the effectiveness of two methods in teaching speaking skill, first is classical method using slide show power point and the second used video media.

The methods which can create to motivate the students in speaking are debate, group discussion, role play, and video media. Video is a good alternative after the students mastering the vocabularies and the pronunciation in speaking English. It can be seen from the students’ questionnaire, interview and observation. It has a good result in using the video media as a new method.
Recommendation
Teaching speaking is not easy because of English is not the first language in our country, but it is foreign language. Especially
in nursing department, it can help the students to make good interaction between a nurse and patients. The nurse should be ready to face the globalization era, In which they must be able to speak English well. To support the students, a lecture should have a creative method in teaching and learning process especially in speaking English as foreign language.
