English  is  becoming  more  and  more  important  in  Indonesia  as  it  is different  purpose,  such  as  teaching,  culture  and  among  other.  Many students confuse   to   understand   reading   texts,   especially  about   genre.   They   don’t understand to analyze the genre in the texts. Many students feel boar and not interesting with reading texts. They are lazy to read more text.

The purposes of this research are divided into two parts. The first purpose of this research is to find out whether  using short video stories improve the student achievement of the 7th year students of MTs SA Pancasila Salatiga in the academic year of 2012/2013. The second purpose is to find out how far is the significant contribution of using short video stories to the students understanding in  learning  narrative structure of the 7th year  students  of MTs  SA Pancasila Salatiga in the academic year of 2012/2013.

This research used classroom action research which consists of two cycles. The researcher used tests, documents, and observation to collect the data. The data were analyzed and calculated by using t-test formula. If to is same or greater than tt, null hypothesis is received. T-table with n = 26 is 1, 25 and the result of to 12, 39. From the calculation showed that to is greater than tt. It means that there is significant difference between pre-test and post-test. The researcher concluded that using short videos stories improves the students understanding in learning narrative structure and there is a significant contribution of using short video stories to the students understanding in learning narrative structure of the 7th Year Students of MTs SA Pancasila Salatiga in The Academic Year of 2012/2013.

 

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of The Study

English is becoming more and more important in Indonesia as it is different purposes, such as teaching, cultural and among others. In Indonesia, English is as one of foreign language which is taught in elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school.

The main aim of teaching English is to develop four language skills, i.e. listening, speaking, writing, and reading. Reading is one of the four language skills, which should be developed in teaching English. Reading as well as other language skills, is placed as one of the important skills for students to be mastered. Here, teaching of reading is essential for preparing students with basic reading skill to be able to gain information and knowledge from any teaching text. Rivers (1981:259) said “reading is the most important activity in any language class, not only as a source of information and pleasurable activity, but also as means of consolidating and extending one’s knowledge of the language.”

Here, many students still difficult to understand reading texts, especially about genre. They don’t understand to analyze the genre in the text. In English, we know many genres based on the text, for example narrative, descriptive, recount, report, etc. Here, the writer focuses in narrative story text.

By understanding narrative story ability, we can carry out the main and aim of the text what tell about, give ideas, and share information from the story, so we are easy to know information or news from the story.

Based on the important role of understanding about English text, Understanding genre and structure in the text ability is needed by the students. According to PP. No. 96 1997 said that English is a compulsory subject as the first foreign language which has been taught in Junior High Schools. In KTSP curriculum, it is clearly stated that one of the objectives of the English subject in Junior High School is developing the ability to communicate in English, either in written or oral form which covers writing, listening, reading and speaking.

Ideally, in reading class, the students should be taught how to read, how to understand the text, how to find the structure of the text, how to encourage the main idea clearly and correctly, how to make students success in processing of constructing meaning, receiving, and processing information. The components of reading class are genre, grammar, generic structure, vocabulary, and comprehension.

However,  the  fact  has  shown  that  the  students  are  hard  to understand  their  reading ability.  They are  difficult  to  find  the generic structure in the narrative text. It is also evidence that in class, the students have limited time to practice their reading skill. However, they are not interested to read a text and feel boring with a text. Sometimes, they feel lazy and tired to read a text. Therefore, interesting is very important in reading subject.

Teaching English in Islamic Junior High School is less focus on reading especially in genre. Teaching reading is not an easy job. There are many problems in teaching reading. First, it relates to the condition of the students who are lack of vocabulary. Second, the students get used to read their  Indonesian  language.  Third,  they  don’t  interest  to  read  texts  in English language. For instance, when the teacher asks them to read a text, they refuse it. Another problem related to the students is that they are not interested in the material given to them. Those problems are faced by the students of MTs Pancasila Salatiga at the first year. The teacher sometimes cannot control the class and this situation makes them impossible to continue the learning process.

So  far, there are still many English  teachers who stand  to  use classical methods. The methods do not recommend a lot to learn traditionally or just reading a lot of text, but only improve reading skills in foreign language. The methods do nothing to the improvement of students' understanding in narrative structure. To achieve this aim, the teachers need to devise learning and teaching activities that are suitable with students need   and   interest.   Appropriate   strategy   which   provides   interesting activities will encourage students to be active and realize the demand that they are supposed to have.

Teaching English in Junior High school is learning through fun. To set students’ motivation can use many ways. Teacher can apply interesting methods and medium or playing kinds of games. One of the interesting methods in teaching narrative structure is applying short videos. When students watch the story video which played by the teacher the students will  get  point  from  the  story,  so  they  can  understand  about  generic structure of the narrative story. Moreover, short video should be suitable for children and improve their motivation in learning narrative structure.

Usually, almost all children like story. It makes them enjoyable and fun in learning foreign language. Using short videos to children can helps them to play their imagination based on the words and pictures. Short videos also helps students be active in the classroom, they try to guess what the passage of story is. Teaching English by using short videos has the good result; it is improve student’s motivation and their understanding in learning narrative structure.

Stories  include  ideas,  objective,  imagination,  language,  etc.  in which it can influence the grown up student’s personality. It is appropriate with Jeremy Harmer (2001: 282): “The use of videotapes has been a common feature in language teaching for many years. It is rare, these days, for a publisher to produce a major course book without a video component added in, and teachers frequently enliven their classes with off-air material or tapes produced for language learning.”

However, teacher gets difficulties in integrating short video into classrooms. Some of students who do not like English will feel sleepy, bored, confused, and frustrated when the teacher shows the story. Moreover, reasons for using short video in learning narrative structure are teachers have problems such as lacking the skill for integrating stories into foreign language, lacking experience or training in using technology, no time, error instrument and space short videos in curriculum.

From the clarification above, the writer takes the using of short videos as the topic of this research. That is the reason why the writer chooses the title for this paper ’’The Implementation Of Using Short Video Stories To Increase The Students’ Understanding  In  Learning  Narrative  Structure Of Seventh Grade Students Of Mts Pancasila Salatiga Academic Year Of 2012/2013.”

 B. The Statement of The Problem

It is necessary to formulate the scope of research, in order to avoid misunderstanding of the writer about the subject matter discussed. The problems are:

1.   Can the use of short video stories improve the students’ attention or participation in learning narrative structure?

2.   Can the use of short video stories improve the students understanding in learning narrative structure?

3. To what extent is the use of short video stories improving the students understanding in learning narrative structure?
