perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 1CHAPTER IINTRODUCTIONA. Background of the StudyLanguage has important roles to develop intellectual, social, emotionalaspects and to determine success in studying all subject matters. It expectedlyhelps the student to reflect their experiences to show their idea and feelings andalso to understand any kinds of meaning. English, then, is chosen as the firstforeign language to be learned by students in both formal and non-formaleducation in our country. It is included in the curriculum as a compulsory subjectfor the Junior and Senior High School. While, for students in Elementary School,though English is given only as a local subject, it has an important role inpreparing the students to continue their study to the next stages of education.Elementary school is the right place to make the students familiar withEnglish. They, which still belong to young learners in average 6-12 years old, arethe best time in absorbing something new things. For them, English is a newthing, therefore it will be more effective if it is taught to them at this level. In thatlevel, students are always enthusiastic when they get something that they nevergot before. Besides, students can easily in recognizing and rememberingsomething given to them although sometimes they will easily to forget too. Forstudents in elementary school, it is suitable for introducing the basic of Englishthat is <strong>vocabulary</strong>.Considering the importance of <strong>vocabulary</strong> competence, it is better tointroduce new <strong>vocabulary</strong> earlier to the students. It makes them know andunderstand a lot of vocabularies. Inadequacy of <strong>vocabulary</strong> will obstruct thestudents’ chances to speak, listen, read, or write. It is also the key aspect oflanguage learning which consist of a list or set of words that individual speakersof language might use for speaking, listening, reading, and writing. As stated byVermeer in Schmitt and McCarthy (1997: 140) that knowing the words is the keyto understanding and being understood.commitWithoutto useran extensive <strong>vocabulary</strong>, students


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 2will be unable to use the structure and functions they have learned forcommunication.However, after observing the teaching and learning process at the fifthgrade students of SD Negeri I Baturetno, Wonogiri, the writer finds out that thestudents’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery is still low. It can be seen from the students’ answerwhen they are asked about English, i.e. Bahasa Inggris sulit, Bu; nggak tau artikata-katanya; sulit membacanya, tulisan sama bacanya udah beda; sulitmengingat kata-katanya, Bu, sering lupa; etc.From the students’ statements above, the writer concludes that 1) thestudents get difficulties in recognizing words; 2) the students get difficulties inremembering words; 3) the students get difficulties in grasping the meaning ofEnglish words; 4) the students get difficulties in pronouncing words correctly; and5) the students get difficulties in writing words correctly.In addition, because of their assumption that English is a difficult subject,it makes the classroom situation do not conducive for teaching-learning process. Itcan be seen from 1) students often play and chat with friends during teachinglearningprocess; 2) students often ask permission to go to toilet; 3) most studentsdid not write notes given by teacher; 4) students are easy to get bored in followingEnglish class; and even 5) some students look sleepy in the class.Those problems may arise because the students do not have highlymotivation in following English class and even they think that it is not interesting.Besides, there are limited media that can be used by teacher as teaching aids. Inteaching them, the teacher tends to use drilling and translation method. Those maybe useful methods if those are applied on higher level, but it is not effective forelementary level. The students, which still belong to young learners, are easy toget bored and only can concentrate in a short time. Basically, they cannot learn ina serious way and need to be taught in a fun activity. Therefore, the students notonly have a perception about English that it is a difficult subject but also it is aboring subject.Remembering that young learners different from adults, it is differentteaching English at elementarycommitstudentstofromuserteaching it in the higher level


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 3students. Elementary students as young learners or children have certaincharacteristics and it needs certain treatments too. For instance, they are easy toget bored and cannot learn seriously in long time. For the teachers in elementaryschool, it is not only necessary to know the characteristics of young learners butalso to master the technique to reach a good development in teaching-learningprocess.Considering the importance of <strong>vocabulary</strong> that should be mastered by thestudents, it promotes the writer to find out one method that can help the studentsbecome easier in learning English <strong>vocabulary</strong>. Besides, it should provide them tolearn in an attractive way in order to make they get spirit in teaching-learningprocess. Thus, in this research the writer will bring forward the way of teaching<strong>vocabulary</strong> by <strong>using</strong> YouTube <strong>video</strong>.The YouTube <strong>video</strong>s are chosen <strong>based</strong> on the <strong>theme</strong> on syllabus of Englishfor the fifth grade students and chosen in form of cartoon <strong>video</strong> in order to makethe students being more interested in teaching-learning process. Sherman (2003:1) states that <strong>video</strong> allows us to introduce any aspect of real life into the languagelearning environment, contextualizing the learning process. Besides, it can be usedin many different instructional settings, from the classroom to online distancelearning campuses. The great value of <strong>video</strong> lies in its combination of sounds,images, and sometimes text in the form of subtitles, together with the socioculturalinformation about habits, traditions, culture, etc. All this makes it a verycomprehensible tool for teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> to foreign language students.By applying <strong>video</strong> in English class, it can serve many advantages inhelping the students to learn new <strong>vocabulary</strong>. Learning by watching <strong>video</strong>, it canchange the students’ opinion about English as a difficult subject become Englishis an easy and interesting subject. Next, it leads to improve their interest infollowing English class because they will get an entertainment by watching the<strong>video</strong>. The learners who saw <strong>video</strong> pictures were able to produce a higherpercentage of acceptable vocabularies than the learners who read only thenarratives or those who read both the narratives and definitions.commit to user

perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 6CHAPTER IITHEORETICAL REVIEWThis chapter provides a review on literature related to the title of theresearch namely <strong>enriching</strong> students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> <strong>using</strong> <strong>theme</strong> <strong>based</strong> YouTube<strong>video</strong>. To support this research, this chapter discusses about <strong>vocabulary</strong>, YouTube<strong>video</strong>, young learners, and review of related researchers. Each of them isdiscussed in the following section.A. Vocabulary1. The Definition of VocabularyGenerally, <strong>vocabulary</strong> can be defined as a list of words with theirmeanings, especially at the back of a book used for teaching a foreign language.In other words, <strong>vocabulary</strong> is always related to the words and dictionary. Thereare some definitions of <strong>vocabulary</strong> by some experts. As taken from Wikipedia,<strong>vocabulary</strong> refers to all the words known and used by a particular person. Itusually grows and evolves with age, and serves as a useful and fundamental toolfor communication and acquiring knowledge.A similar statement stated by Hatch and Brown (1995: 1) that the term of<strong>vocabulary</strong> refers to a list or set of words for a particular language or a list or setof words that individual speakers of language might use. As what Hatch andBrown say, <strong>vocabulary</strong> is a list of words. It means that there are more than onewords used by the speaker of a certain language. Vocabulary also refers to a groupof words used by a person as a means of communication.Ur (1996: 60) also defines <strong>vocabulary</strong> as the words that are taught inforeign language. She adds that <strong>vocabulary</strong> is mainly defined as words that areused in a foreign language course. The words in <strong>vocabulary</strong> do not come from thestudents’ native language. It is a set of words from second or foreign language thatis being learned by students.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 7A new item of <strong>vocabulary</strong> may be more than a single word which is madeup of 2 or 3 words but expressing a single idea. Additionally, Moon in Schmittand McCarthy (1997: 105) argues that traditionally, <strong>vocabulary</strong> consists not onlyof single words: lexemes are often made up of strings of more that one word.From all definitions above, it can be concluded that <strong>vocabulary</strong> is a set ofwords that are taught in foreign language. Vocabulary is also closely related to alist of words used to express the speakers’ idea.2. Kinds of VocabularyThere are two kinds of <strong>vocabulary</strong>, receptive and productive <strong>vocabulary</strong>.Haycraft in Hatch and Brown (1995: 370) states that receptive <strong>vocabulary</strong> iswords that the student recognizes and understands when they occur in a context,but which he cannot produce correctly, and productive <strong>vocabulary</strong> is words whichthe student understands, can pronounce correctly, and use constructively inspeaking and writing.Since the subject of the study is elementary school students, the objectiveof the study is the students’ receptive <strong>vocabulary</strong>. However, the researcher usedconstructive speaking in the form of communicative classroom activity in order tointroduce <strong>vocabulary</strong> and language in its communicative function.According to Ur (1996: 60), there are six aspects of <strong>vocabulary</strong> that needto be taught in teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> as follows:a. Form: Pronunciation and SpellingThe learner has to know how a word is pronounced (its pronunciation)and what it looks like (its spelling).b. GrammarA word sometimes comes with grammatical rules. The learner also needsto know the past form of a verb, the plural form of a noun, etc.c. CollocationIt deals with the appropriateness of particular combination of words.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 8d. Aspects of Meaning (1): denotation, connotation, appropriatenessDenotation refers to the meaning of a word as what it refers to in the realworld. Connotation is the meaning of a word when it comes in association,negative or positive evokes that may or may not be stated in dictionarydefinition. The context is also important to determine the meaning of a word.It gives appropriateness where the word commonly used.e. Aspects of Meaning (2): meaning relationshipA word sometimes has a close relationship with others. In languageteaching, this kind of relationship is useful. The learner should recognize thewords in different relationships. Synonyms, antonyms, hyponyms are someof the main ones.f. Word formationCertain <strong>vocabulary</strong> can be broken down into their components. Students’understanding in prefixes and suffixes can help them in knowing the meaningof words.Those six aspects give what a learner needs to learn language. However,the aspects taught should be matched with the students’ level. Since the researchwas conducted in elementary school, the aspects chosen were spelling,pronunciation, and meaning.3. The Importance of Teaching VocabularyVocabulary is the key aspects of language learning which consists of a listor set of words that individual speakers of language might use for listening,speaking, reading, and writing. It is also the first steps of learning a secondlanguage and becomes the basic competence to get other competences oflanguage. The importance of <strong>vocabulary</strong> is explained by Coady and Huckin(1997: 5) who states that <strong>vocabulary</strong> is central to language and of criticalimportance to the typical language learner. It means that <strong>vocabulary</strong> take animportant role in teaching language. With more <strong>vocabulary</strong>, the learners willeasily in understanding and <strong>using</strong> language without any difficulties.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 9There are some importances of <strong>vocabulary</strong> stated by expert. Firstly, anextensive <strong>vocabulary</strong> aids expressions and communication. Secondly, <strong>vocabulary</strong>size has been directly linked to reading comprehension. Thirdly, linguistic<strong>vocabulary</strong> is synonymous with thinking <strong>vocabulary</strong>. The last is that a person maybe judged by others <strong>based</strong> on his or her <strong>vocabulary</strong>.As stated by Thornburry (2002: 13) that without grammar very little canbe conveyed, without <strong>vocabulary</strong> nothing can be conveyed. Similarly, McCarthyin Schmitt and McCarthy (1997: 140) states that no matter how well the studentslearn grammar, no matter how successfully the sound of language is mastered,without words to express wide language meaning, communication in secondlanguage cannot be happen in any meaningful way. It means that <strong>vocabulary</strong> isfoundation to build language with plays a fundamental role in communication.According to Allen (1983: 5), the communication will stop when learnerslack the necessary words. It means that when one does not know what <strong>vocabulary</strong>used to communicate with others, one cannot express his idea to be conveyed andin addition to this, the communication will end. However, mastering <strong>vocabulary</strong> isnot only having great vocabularies or remembering vocabularies. It is alsoincludes the skill to make the right choice words, and also spelling the wordcorrectly.Furthermore, Rivers in Nunan (1991: 117) states that the acquisition of anadequate <strong>vocabulary</strong> is essential for successful second language use becausewithout an extensive <strong>vocabulary</strong>, we will be unable to use the structures andfunctions that we may have learned for comprehensible communication. It meansthat <strong>vocabulary</strong> will give an important element in the acquisition of secondlanguage.From the opinions above, it can be concluded that <strong>vocabulary</strong> plays animportant role in language communication. When one learns language, the firststep that should be known is learning <strong>vocabulary</strong>. It is caused by <strong>vocabulary</strong> is thebasic aspect of learning any language.commit to user

The Definition of YouTube VideoNowadays, when the internet has become more accessible, it is seen bymany people as one of the most powerful innovations ever invented, and withgood reasons. One of the reasons always advocated for adopting technology ofinternet is that it leads to efficiency gains. In other words, it helps people do whatthey already were doing, but faster, cheaper, or easier. The potential of internet isthat it can be used as a teaching aid in English language learning.There are many kinds of media taken from internet which can be used inteaching-learning process. One of them is called YouTube. YouTube is a verypopular web <strong>video</strong> sharing site that lets anyone store <strong>video</strong>s for private or publicviewing. YouTube provides a venue for sharing <strong>video</strong>s among friends and familyas well as a showcase for new and experienced <strong>video</strong>graphers. There are so manykinds and types of <strong>video</strong> include entertainment, education, advertisement, etc.The real advantage of YouTube, at least from a language learning point ofview, is that it offers authentic examples of English used by people. At the sametime, YouTube <strong>video</strong> enables teacher to attach the students to the real life natureof these <strong>video</strong>s. By creating context for these short <strong>video</strong>, students can be helpedto explore a world of online English learning possibilities.Generally, <strong>video</strong> is the technology of electronically capturing, recording,processing, storing, transmitting, and reconstructing a sequence of still imagesrepresenting scenes in motion. Video is a great resource to use in class and thereare an endless number of ways to exploit it to create motivating, memorableclasses with a high level of language production. The use of <strong>video</strong> technologies toillustrate the educational materials has become much more feasible.2. The Benefits of Using VideoBasically, students really enjoy watching movies and TV for a varietyreasons. For one, they get exposure to natural language in a non-threateningsetting. Secondly, movies and <strong>video</strong> provide common ground to students of anyinternational background.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 11For all young learners, the use of <strong>video</strong> gives a useful input in learningEnglish. First, <strong>video</strong> communicates meaning better than other media. It means that<strong>video</strong> present language in context in ways that a cassette can’t. Learners can seewho’s (or what’s) speaking, where the speakers are, what they’re doing, etc. Allthese visual clues can help comprehension. Second, <strong>video</strong> represents a positiveexploitation of technology. Teenagers, in particular, have a positive attitudetoward television and <strong>video</strong>. It is seen as being modern compared to books.Tomalin (1991: 48) states that there are some benefits of teaching English<strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> for learners aged 3 – 8 years old. They are as follows:a. Children enjoy language learning with <strong>video</strong>One of the aims of teaching English to young learners is to instill in them theidea that language learning is happy experience, and <strong>video</strong> creates anattractive enjoyable learning environment.b. Video is an effective way of studying body languageYounger language learners are still learning about the world around themc. Children gain confidence through repetitionYoung children love to hear stories again and again and the same goes for<strong>video</strong>. By watching a <strong>video</strong> several times children can learn by absorptionand imitation.3. The Criteria for Selecting VideoWhen selecting a <strong>video</strong> for used in the classroom, certain general criteriashould be kept in mind. There are several criteria in selecting <strong>video</strong>:a. WatchabilityIt is related to the question is the <strong>video</strong> interesting, would a young learnerwant to watch this, etc.b. CompletenessTomalin (1991: 50) states the ideal <strong>video</strong> clip tells a complete story or asection of a story. This idea of completeness is important for young learnerswhose primary motivation for watching a <strong>video</strong> is enjoyment.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 12c. LengthThe length of the clip is important. It shouldn’t be long, perhaps between 30seconds and 10 minutes depending on the learning objective.d. Appropriateness of ContentThe content should be suitable for young learners. It should also be suitablefor viewing in all cultures.e. Level of MaturityChildren mature very quickly. It is should be matched with their level ofmaturity in order to make them understand the concepts in the <strong>video</strong>.f. Availability of Related MaterialsMany authentic <strong>video</strong>s now come with ready made materials that can be usedfor language teaching. Other <strong>video</strong>s may have been adapted from books,which could be used in the classroom to support the <strong>video</strong>.4. Teaching Vocabulary Using YouTube VideoVideo can be a valuable and possibly underused classroom tool. Although,there is always the temptation to simply put a <strong>video</strong> on at the end of term and letthe students watch a film without even challenging them to be actively involved.According to Sherman (2003: 1), <strong>video</strong> allow us to introduce any aspect ofreal life into the language learning environment, contextualizing the learningprocess. Besides, it can be used in many different instructional settings, from theclassroom to online distance learning campuses. The great value of <strong>video</strong> lies inits combination of sounds, images, and sometimes text (in the form of subtitles),together with the socio-cultural information about habits, traditions, culture, etc.All this makes it a very comprehensible tool for teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> to foreignlanguage students.Furthermore, adapted from Willis' 6 roles for <strong>video</strong> (1983: 45), there arefour possible roles for <strong>video</strong>: a) developing listening skills - listening for globalunderstanding, listening for detail; b) to provide information - to provide contentrelevant to <strong>students'</strong> needs and interests; c) presenting or reinforcing language -commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 13grammar, <strong>vocabulary</strong>, functions; and d) stimulating language production - <strong>video</strong>used as a basis for discussion, a model for learners to follow, a visual aid.Teaching English <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> will give a fun atmosphere to the students,especially young learners. They can learn unconsciously while they are watchingthe film, so that they enjoy language learning. Tomalin (1991: 48) states one ofthe aims of teaching English to young children is to instill in them the idea thatlanguage learning is a happy experience, and <strong>video</strong> creates an attractive enjoyablelearning environment. It means that it is important to make children feel comfortand happy first in order to make language learning run effectively.Basically, there are two main uses of <strong>video</strong> have been distinguished:instructional <strong>video</strong>, specifically created to teach foreign languages, and authentic<strong>video</strong> materials, such as films, TV series, commercials, etc., originally created fornative speakers of the language. Even if it can sometimes be more difficult tohandle, it is in fact very functional to use authentic <strong>video</strong> in the foreign languageclass, since students can profit more efficiently from this type of input, given itspresentation of real (not manipulated) and complete communicative situations,that is what learners really need in real life.Authentic <strong>video</strong>s for young learners will often contain a lot of repetition.This is a good lesson for lower levels because students only have to focus on aminimum of spoken dialogue. Students watch a scene from a film which has lotsof things that they can see and therefore write in their <strong>vocabulary</strong> books.Talavan (2007: 1) states that students of all levels can benefit from the useof <strong>video</strong>, since there are always easier <strong>video</strong> sequences, spoken at a slower ratethat can match lower level students’ needs. Besides, authentic <strong>video</strong> has anobvious advantage over conventional audio tapes and the visual dimension thatmakes understanding easier through gestures and context.In addition, teaching English <strong>using</strong> YouTube <strong>video</strong> will be appropriate toyoung learners since it provides an entertainment to the students therefore it willnot only leads the language learning learnable but also enjoyable.commit to user

By knowing their characteristics, it is hoped that the teacher wouldtreat their students well and be able to choose an appropriate technique of teachingin order to reach the objective of teaching-learning process.The age of learners can be categorized into three ages, which are:a. The age of 5 – 12 is considered Young Learners.b. The age of 12 – 18 is considered Teenagers.c. Older than 18 is considered to be Adult.According to Purwaningsih in Daristya, young learners are learners inelementary school aging 9 – 10 years old who are learning English as foreignlanguage. Similarly, Hoesein in Daristya states that young learners are thestudents of elementary school who are at grade four up to grade six. From thosestatements, it may be concluded that young learners are students who are studyingEnglish in elementary school.Additionally, Brumfit (1995: v) proposed some characteristics of younglearners as follows:a. Young learners are only just beginning their schooling. So that teachers havemajor opportunity to mould their expectations of life in school.b. As a group, they are potentially more differentiated than secondary or adultlearners, for they are closer to their varied home cultures and new to theconformity increasingly imposed across cultural groupings by the school.c. They tend to be keen and enthusiastic learners, without the inhibitions whicholder children sometimes bring to their schooling.d. Their learning can be closely linked with their development of ideas andconcepts, because it is so close to their initial experience of formal schooling.e. They need physical movement and activity as much as stimulation for theirthinking, and the closer together these can be better.From explanation above, it can be concluded that children are mostlyenthusiastic of doing something.commitLearningtowithuserphysical movement will be more

Teaching English to Young LearnersRecently, English began to be taught to elementary school even primaryschool. It is important to introduce English as early as possible in order to preparethem in continuing their study to the higher level such as junior high school andsenior high school. Scott and Ytreberg (2000: 4) propose the reasons of teachinglanguage to young learners as follows:a. Only by an early start can language mastery be assured.b. Preadolescents can learn a language without self-consciousness.c. The early start instills respect for the other people and foster tolerance.d. Appreciably more children can be eager to study a foreign language later on.e. The students who began early will be much further along in high school and incollege.As stated above, it is clearly that English should be taught earlier.Remembering that young learners have their special characteristics thatdifferentiate them with adults, it is important for teacher to choose a techniquethat suitable for their average age. Not all of the English teaching methods can beused to teach young learners. Being an English teacher also should be variously inpresenting the materials since children only have concentration in a few and easyto get bored.D. Review of Related ResearchesThere are some articles related to the use of <strong>video</strong> in foreign languageclass. The first article entitled “Learning Vocabulary Through Authentic Videoand Subtitles”. It states that subtitles can be used together with authentic <strong>video</strong> toimprove word recognition and <strong>vocabulary</strong> acquisition skills in the EFL class. Thisatmosphere provides authentic input through three different channels (written text,oral text and images) that contribute to offer a better and potentially longer-lastingmental representation of new andcommitold lexicalto useritems. The great value of <strong>video</strong> lies


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 16in its combination of sounds, images, and sometimes text (in the form ofsubtitles), together with the socio-cultural information about habits, traditions,culture, etc. All this makes it a very comprehensible tool for teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong>to foreign language students.Tatsuki (1999) writes about “Video in the Language Lab: TeachingVocabulary”. She states learners who read illustrative sentences (sentencescapturing a scene in the movie and model the correct usage of a target <strong>vocabulary</strong>item) scored better on a multiple choice test than did those who read the narrativeonly or read the narrative and watched the <strong>video</strong>. This would indicate that if<strong>vocabulary</strong> learning is going to be measured by productive use, <strong>video</strong> is certainlyfacilitative. If, on the other hand, <strong>vocabulary</strong> gain is going to be measured viamultiple choice testing, <strong>video</strong> will be most efficient if learners are provided withcontextualized sentence models. Either way, <strong>video</strong> is a useful part of <strong>vocabulary</strong>learning.McKinnon writes “Teaching Technologies: Teaching English UsingVideo”. It is an article offering advice and suggestions on how to teach English<strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong>. He states that <strong>video</strong> is a valuable and possibly underused classroomtool. There is always the temptation to simply put a <strong>video</strong> on at the end of termand let our students watch a film without even challenging them to be activelyinvolved. Then, he concludes that the use of <strong>video</strong> is an advantage here as it is anemotional scene with lots of gestures, adding weight to the situation.Constantinescu (2007) writes “Using Technology to Assist in VocabularyAcquisition and Reading Comprehension”. First, it starts with a brief overview ofthe relationship between <strong>vocabulary</strong> knowledge and reading comprehension.Then, it has been increasingly argued that computer technologies can supportlearning in a number of ways. Many features of the computer are considered toenhance <strong>vocabulary</strong> development and reading comprehension: multimedia is oneof them. Multimedia refers to computer-<strong>based</strong> systems that use various types ofcontent, such as text, audio, <strong>video</strong>, graphics, animation, and interactivity. Chunand Plass in Constantinescu (2007) states that visual multimedia advanceorganizers were found to help notcommitonlytorecallingusernew words, but also act as


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 17facilitators of reading comprehension, which stresses the close relationshipbetween <strong>vocabulary</strong> and reading.Irina (2010) writes “Using YouTube Videos in Teaching English”. Shestates that <strong>video</strong> material taken from YouTube can be a very useful source andasset for the language teaching-learning process because it combines both fun andpedagogic instructions in an authentic material that reflect real interaction. Using<strong>video</strong>s in the English class is a very helpful and stimulating method to motivatethe students to get the most of the lesson. By employing <strong>video</strong>taped materialteachers can always create an indefinite number of language teaching activities.The devised activities above are mere examples <strong>based</strong> on one short segment andeach focuses of a different language skill that EFL students need to acquire.E. RationaleVocabulary plays an important role in learning English as secondlanguage. It becomes the basic competence in order to get other competence likelistening, speaking, reading, and writing. Considering the importance of<strong>vocabulary</strong>, it is better to introduce it earlier. Here, the students of elementaryschool are the right level in introducing English <strong>vocabulary</strong> so that it can preparethem entering the next stages of education.Thus, there should be a technique that can facilitate the improvement ofstudents’ <strong>vocabulary</strong>. Remembering that the students still belong to younglearners with their special characteristics, the technique selected must be suitablefor them. It is essential to find out ways of promoting learning activities which aremotivating, interesting, and fun in order to make the objective of the teachinglearningprocess can be achieved.YouTube <strong>video</strong>, then are thought to be adequate for that purpose since itprovides the combination of sounds, images, and sometimes text (in the form ofsubtitles). All this make it a very comprehensible tool for teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong>especially for elementary students. The use of YouTube <strong>video</strong> enables the teacherto create follow up activities where the students can be actively involved.

Itcovers the research setting, the subject of the research, the methods of theresearch, the model of action research, the procedures of action research, thetechnique of collecting the data, and the technique of analyzing the data. Each ofthem is discussed in the following section.A. The Context of the ResearchThis research is conducted at SD Negeri I Baturetno, Wonogiri. Its addressis Duwet Kidul, Baturetno, Wonogiri. SD Negeri I Baturetno is one of the mostfavorite state elementary school in Baturetno sub district. There are six classes atthe school which consist of 264 students. The writer conducts the research startfrom May to June 2010 that represents the second semester of academic year2009/2010.However, the subject of the study is the fifth grade students of SD Negeri IBaturetno. There are 46 students in the class which consist of 23 boys and 23girls. Even though most of them are coming from the middle-low economy level,they belong to the students having a great motivation in learning English.Sometimes, they do not pay attention to the teacher and even feel sleepy inEnglish class because they felt that the teaching and learning process which isboring and going monotonous.Considering with the fact above, the writer thought that by applyingYouTube <strong>video</strong> in English class, it will change the situation being more alive andinteresting. Besides, the students get an entertainment while they are learning newEnglish <strong>vocabulary</strong>. They will learn English in a difference way and techniquethat they never got before.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 20B. The Methods of the ResearchIn conducting the study, the writer uses an action research method. Thereare some definitions given by some experts. The first definition of the actionresearch is given by Elliot (1991: 6) that action research might be defined as thestudy of a social situation with a view to improving the quality of action within it.It aims to feed practical judgment in concrete situations and the validity of the“theories” or hypothesis it generates depends not so much on “scientific” test oftruth, as on their usefulness in helping people to act more intelligently andskillfully. Meanwhile, Rapoport in Rudduck and Hopkins (1989: 58) states thataction research is a type of applied social research differing from other varieties inthe immediacy of the researcher’s involvement in the action process.As taken from Wikipedia, action research is a reflective process ofprogressive problem solving led by individuals working with others in teams or aspart of a community of practice to improve the way they address issues and solveproblems. Action research can also be undertaken by larger organizations orinstitution, assisted, or guided by professional researchers with the aim ofimproving their strategies, practices, and knowledge of the environments withinwhich they practice.From the definitions above, it can be summarized that action research isthe systematic study conducted by teacher researchers, principals, schoolcounselors, or other stakeholders in the teaching and learning environment toovercome education problems or to change things related to educational problem.In other words, it is used to improve and to justify their own social or educationalpractices, their understanding of these practices and the situations in which thepractices are carried out with the validity of theories and hypothesis. Further, thereare four elements that characterized the nature of action research, they arecollaboration, focus on practical problems, professional development, and theneed of project structure.In this study, the writer prefers conducting a classroom action research toother educational research because of the following reasons:commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 211. Classroom action research is continuous process that produces open-endedresult, so that this research enables the researcher to become continuouslearners to change and improve their quality in teaching.2. The researchers are committed to take action and positive educational change<strong>based</strong> on their findings rather than being satisfied with reporting theirconclusions to others.3. Classroom action research is research for change and improvement. It isexpected that this research not only change and improve students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong>but also to change and improve teacher’s technique variation in teaching<strong>vocabulary</strong>.4. The use of the teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> technique in this research can bemonitored, so that the use of the technique will not deviate or out from theinstructional process.C. The Model of Action ResearchThe model of action research used in this study is <strong>based</strong> on the modeldeveloped by Kemmis and McTaggart (1998) in Burns (1999: 32). They state thataction research occurs through a dynamic and complementary process thatconsists of four fundamental steps in a spiraling process. They are as follows:a. Planning: develop a plan of critically informed action to improve what isalready happeningb. Action: act to implement the plan.c. Observation: observe the effects of the critically informed action in the contextin which it occurs.d. Reflection: reflect these effects as the basis for further planning.In this research, the four steps can be expanded into six steps, namely: 1)identifying the problem; 2) planning the action; 3) implementing the action; 4)observing or monitoring the action; 5) reflecting the result of observation; and 6)revising the plan for following step. Those six steps form one cycle.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 22D. The Stages of Action ResearchThe model of the action research above is the frameworks in undertaking aclassroom action research. Those six steps are taken in each procedure that formsone cycle. They are as follows:1. Identifying the ProblemThe researcher identifies the problems first before planning the action.The problem refers to the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery that is still low. It iscaused by some factors related to both teacher and students. The problem canbe identified by <strong>using</strong>:a. Test : the pre-test was given to identify the students’ competencein comprehending English <strong>vocabulary</strong>b. Interview : the interview was held in order to identify the students’opinion about English class and the problem faced by the students duringteaching-learning process.c. Observation : the observation was done to identify the students’behavior and class situation during teaching-learning process.2. Planning the ActionThe researcher then plans everything related to the actions that will beimplemented. The preparation is done for each cycle. The preparations are asfollows:a. Arranging lesson plans. It covers processes of choosing the YouTube<strong>video</strong> played, the materials used, the kinds of activities done, etc.b. Designing and setting steps in doing action.c. Preparing suitable teaching aids, such as laptop, LCD projector, flash ordisc containing many films, etc.d. Preparing sheets for classroom observation.e. Preparing tests.3. Implementing the ActionThe researcher implements the teaching and learning of <strong>vocabulary</strong> by<strong>using</strong> YouTube <strong>video</strong> to help the students understand the material. Theimplementations generally arecommitpresentedto useras follows:


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 23a. Presenting the topicThe researcher presents the topic in the form of playing YouTube <strong>video</strong>for many times. As the teaching media, the researcher uses laptopsupported by LCD projector in order the films can be watched clearly bythe students though they sat in the back arrow.b. Giving tasksIn this stage, the researcher gives tasks for the students. The tasks can beexercises, practices, and various activities such as games, discussions, etcthat should be done by students in a group. The researcher may revisethose tasks in every cycle.c. EvaluatingFinally, at the end of the action, the researcher conducts a post-test tomeasure the students’ ability in mastering <strong>vocabulary</strong> after the action isimplemented and to measure the students’ improvement after they weretaught by <strong>using</strong> YouTube <strong>video</strong>.4. Observing or Monitoring the ActionThe teacher, as the researcher, observes all activities in the teachingand learning process while the technique of teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> <strong>using</strong>YouTube <strong>video</strong> is carried out. This observation is done with her collaborator.They keep notes of students’ impression during the teaching and process. Theteacher also creates a conductive atmosphere to increase the students’motivation in learning <strong>vocabulary</strong>, for example by giving suggestion, helpingtheir difficulties while learning, and giving feedback for their efforts.5. Reflecting and Evaluating the Result of the ObservationThe researcher makes an evaluation <strong>based</strong> on her observation and hercollaborator’s note to identify the weaknesses during the action. Theweaknesses can be seen from facts whether they are active or passive inteaching and learning process. She also makes diaries about the condition ofthe class during the action. Next, this evaluation will be a basic considerationto conduct the next cycle of teaching.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 246. Revising the PlanBased on the weaknesses found from the activity that has been carriedout, the researcher revises the plan for the next cycle. It is done to get betterresults of the method she applied.E. The Techniques of Collecting the DataIn this classroom action research, the researcher uses qualitative andquantitative methods in collecting the data. Each of them is explained as follows:1. ObservationIn this research, the observation was done to describe the activities and classsituation during the teaching-learning process when the YouTube <strong>video</strong>applied. When the researcher that is also a teacher taught <strong>vocabulary</strong> <strong>using</strong><strong>video</strong>, the observer observes, evaluates, and offers suggestion about theapplication of <strong>video</strong> in English class.2. DocumentsThe documents were in the form of lesson plans and students’ worksheets andit was used to gain the information about the students’ progress in <strong>vocabulary</strong>competence.3. InterviewThe researcher used interview to get information from the students towardtheir perception about English, their understanding about the lesson, and thestrength and weaknesses of the application of <strong>video</strong> in teaching-learningprocess. It was held at the beginning and the end of the research.4. Research diaryIn this research, the researcher made her own diaries to write some importantnotes toward the students’ behavior and also its improvement during teachinglearningprocess.5. PhotographsBy taking photographs, it helped the researcher to describe the real situationduring teaching-learning process.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 256. TestsIn this research, the tests involved pretest and posttests. Pretest was given toidentify the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> before the method applied while posttestswere given to measure the improvement of students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> after applying<strong>video</strong> in English class.F. The Techniques of Analyzing the DataAfter collecting the data, the next step is analyzing the data. In order toanalyze the qualitative data gained from observation, interview, research diary,documents, and photographs, the researcher analyzes them by <strong>using</strong> interactivemodel proposed by Miles and Huberman (1992: 16). The procedures are asfollows:1. Data ReductionData reduction refers to the process of selecting, foc<strong>using</strong>, simplifying,abstracting, and transforming the data appear in written-up field notes ortranscription. Data reduction is a form of analysis that sharpens, sorts, focuses,discards, and organizes data in such a way that “final” conclusions can be drawnand verified.2. Data DisplayGenerally, a display is an organized, compressed assembly of informationthat permits conclusions drawing and action. The most frequent form of displayfor qualitative data has been extended text.3. Conclusion Drawing/VerificationConclusion drawing is only a half of a Gemini configuration. Conclusionsare also verified as the analyst proceeds. Verification may be as a brief as afleeting second thought crossing the analyst’s mind during writing.On the other hand, the pretest and posttests that belong to the quantitativedata were presented with the mean score of pretest and posttests and analyzed bydescriptive statistics.

Those findings are described in this chapter. It is divided into two partswhich include the process of the research and the research findings and researchdiscussion. Each part is described as follows:A. The Process of the ResearchThe writer that is also as the English teacher in SD Negeri I Baturetno hadbeen teaching for about a year. She teaches from class one to six. SD Negeri IBaturetno has large numbers of students that is for about 250 students. In thisstudy, she chooses class 5 to be the subject of the research which has 46 studentsand since it has problems as stated in chapter I. For this research, she teaches class5 once a week <strong>based</strong> on the class schedule for English lesson that is everySaturday on 07.15 up to 08.25.Before conducting the research, the writer did observation and interviewsthe students with her collaborator who an English teacher in SD Negeri 4Baturetno, TA. From the observation, it could be concluded that class 5 hadproblem in <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery. In other words, the students still got difficulties inrecognizing and remembering words, grasping meaning of words, pronouncingwords, and writing words correctly. The class which has 46 students also difficultto be handled by teacher since they often made noises during teaching-learningprocess. Therefore, an action research is conducted by the writer and hercollaborator to overcome those problems.The research was conducted for about a month started from May until June2010. It included two cycles whichcommitis donetothroughusersome sequence processes from

Then, the writer concluded theresult as a final reflection, as follows:• Video was able to change students’ perception toward English that is adifficult subject into an interesting subject• Video was an effective teaching aid to teach <strong>vocabulary</strong> to the students inelementary school• Video attracted students’ attention during TLP• Video was able to change class situation became more fun and conducive• There was a good improvement and achievement concerning to thestudents’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery• Video could improve students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery.The process of the research stated in Table 4.1 above is discussed in the followingsection:1. Pre-ResearchThe pre-research was conducted to investigate the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong>competence and the classroom situation during teaching-learning process. Thereare three activities in collecting the data for pre-research; they are observation,interview, and pre-test. The summary of situation prior to the researchimplementation can be seen in the table 4.2 below:commit to user

The pre-research included some activities that are observing teachinglearningprocess, interviewing the students, and providing pre-test. Based on thoseactivities, it was found some problems arose during English class. Those problemscovered students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery that is still low and class situation that isnot conducive for teaching-learning process.After conducting observation and interview, there are some indicators ofproblems found related to <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery. Those indicators are the studentsget difficulties in: 1) recognizing words; 2) remembering words; 3) grasping <strong>theme</strong>aning of English words, e.g. shirt=kaos, skirt=kemeja, trousers=celana, etc; 4)pronouncing the words; 5) writing commit words to correctly, user e.g. shert, a bleck cap, etc.

From 46 students in class 5, therewere only 3 students reached the passing grade that is 70. Meanwhile, othersgained score under the passing grade. In other words, 93% of 46 students in class5 still had difficulties in term of <strong>vocabulary</strong>. It could be concluded that they stillhad the low <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery.In this research, the writer offered learning English by watching <strong>video</strong>downloaded from YouTube to the students. It was not only aimed to enrichstudents’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> but also change the class situation became more fun andconducive for teaching-learning process. The fundamental reason why the writerchooses <strong>video</strong> was she wanted to give an entertainment to the students while theylearning. Therefore, the students would be more interested in following Englishclass and there would be no more students get bored and feel sleepy duringteaching-learning process. Besides, she also wanted to change students’perception about English that is a difficult subject became an interesting subject.Meanwhile, the writer chooses YouTube cartoon <strong>video</strong> which is suitable for theiraverage age.

Observing the ActionFrom observing the TLP in the first cycle, the writer assumed that theteaching-learning process <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> ran well and it became alive. The <strong>video</strong> thatserved not only all vocabularies but also exercises related to the topic taught letthe students could learn by doing exercise shown on <strong>video</strong>.In addition, the students became interested and motivated in learningEnglish. It could be seen from the students’ responses when they had the learningactivities. The students paid much attention when the <strong>video</strong> was playing andwanted to do the <strong>video</strong>’s instruction. For example, for the first meeting, thestudents wanted to pronounce all vocabularies mentioned by <strong>video</strong> although therewere few boy students did not want to do it. This happened also in the second andthird meeting where they looked so enthusiastic to point the cloth mentioned andguess the name of clothes shown on <strong>video</strong>.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 43During the teaching-learning process, there were only few students playand chat with others. Most of them followed every step of teaching-learningprocess seriously. Besides, there was no students ask permission to go to toilet asthey did before learning by <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong>. It showed that most students attracted tofollow all procedures of English class.Learning vocabularies by watching <strong>video</strong> made the students easier inrecognizing and remembering new vocabularies they got because they saw thethings rather than imagination. Besides, the <strong>video</strong> guided the students about howto pronounce the words correctly by imitating the native speaker in pronouncingwords on <strong>video</strong>. The writer only needed to play the <strong>video</strong> repeatedly in order tomake the students had more practices, so that they could pronounce wordscorrectly.Nevertheless, the writer did not satisfy yet with the result of teachinglearningprocess because there were some indicators of problems that were notgood yet. For further observation, the students still made mistakes in grasping <strong>theme</strong>aning of English words and writing words although they could pronounce themwell. For example, most students translated shirt as kaos, skirt as kemeja, scarf askerudung, etc. Then, when the writer asked them to write, some students wrotedown in incorrect spellings i.e. shert, a bleck cap, scraf, etc. The other problemwas some students did not want to write the notes given by teacher. They said thatthey had understood so they did not need to write down the notes.On the other hand, the result of posttest showed that the students’ scorewere better compared with the pretest result. The mean score of pretest was 55,43and the mean score of posttest 1 was 67,28. It means that there was animprovement of learning <strong>vocabulary</strong> but it was not quite satisfying.5. Reflecting the Observation ResultBy observing the result of observation above, the writer could make aconclusion that the use of <strong>video</strong> is suitable for teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> to elementarystudents. The students became more interested and motivated in learning<strong>vocabulary</strong>. The students became more active and enthusiastic in joining teaching-commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id 44learning process. The <strong>video</strong> made the students happy in learning new <strong>vocabulary</strong>because they were not just oriented to the textbooks.There was also no students ask permission to go to toilet. During teachinglearningprocess, there were only few students who play or chat with friends but itstill could be handled by teacher. Concerning to the <strong>vocabulary</strong> competence, therewas significant improvement. Most students could recognize and remember wordsgiven before. When they asked, they could answer it correctly. The students alsocould pronounce words well. When the writer asked some questions to them, theycould answer it in English with the correct pronunciation.However, in grasping the meaning of English words, the students stillmade mistakes when they asked to translate words into Indonesian since somewords have similar writing such as T-shirt, shirt, skirt, shoes, socks, etc. While inwriting words, the students found it difficult to write with the right spellingsalthough they could pronounce words correctly because most of vocabularies arenew. The writer gave guidance more to write in correct spelling on the blackboardbut most students did not want to write or copy them on their own books.Therefore, next time, they could not write English words correctly because theydid not have the correct samples of writing given by teacher before.Analyzing the result of tests, the mean score of the pretest was 55,43 andthe mean score of posttest 1 was 67,28. It indicates that the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong>mastery increased but it was not satisfying yet.6. Revising the PlanTo solve the problems that appeared in cycle 1 which included: (1) moststudents still made mistakes in grasping the meaning of English words; (2) somestudents found it difficult to write English word with the correct spellings; and (3)some students did not want to write the notes given by teacher; the writer wouldplay the <strong>video</strong> longer than before and combined by playing games. Besides, thewriter gave more guidance in writing English words to the students. It wasimplemented in cycle 2.commit to user

It showed that they were able to translate English words intoIndonesian or Indonesian into English and write down English word correctly.In addition, the result of posttest showed that there was improvementtoward <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery. The mean score of posttest 2 was better than posttest1. The mean score of posttest 2 was 80,33 and the mean score of posttest 1 was67,28. In other words, there were 95% of 46 students obtained the score above thepassing grade, 70.5. Reflecting the Observation ResultBased on the result of observation, on the second cycle, the teachinglearningprocess improved better than the first cycle. Thus, the writer couldconclude that the use of <strong>video</strong> was actually appropriate to be applied at the fifthgrade students at the elementary school. Video made the students more active,enthusiastic, interested, and motivated in learning English.The teaching-learning process also became more effective. The studentscould both pronounce and write English words. Besides, they were able to graspthe meaning of English words correctly. It means that the teaching-learningprocess ran better that the previous cycle.The posttest of cycle 2 showed the improvement result. It was much betterthan before. Most students could reach the passing grade. The percentage showedthat on posttest 1, there were only 41% or about 19 students of 46 studentsreached the passing grade, while on posttest 2 there were 95% or 44 studentsreached the passing grade.In addition, the writer and TA decided to stop the cycle since all indicatorsof problems had improved, and the time was limit even though not all studentsshowed the improvement.commit to user

perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id56Based on the Table 4.8. above, it can be seen that there were some findingsfound in the research. The more detail explanation is described as follows:a. The improvement of students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> masteryThe implementation of <strong>video</strong> improved the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery.It could be seen from the students’ achievement of posttest after conducting thecycle. Most of them gained score higher than the passing grade, 70. It means thatthe students became easier in learning <strong>vocabulary</strong> by watching <strong>video</strong>.Before applying <strong>video</strong>, students often got difficulties in recognizing andremembering words given to them. Sometimes, they needed much time to answerteacher’s questions because they must remember the words given first. However,after they learn <strong>vocabulary</strong> by watching <strong>video</strong>, they found it easier to berecognized and memorized since the <strong>video</strong> not only showed the words but also thepicture of each word mentioned. It made the students became easier in learningEnglish <strong>vocabulary</strong>. Besides, they could directly know the meaning of wordsshown on <strong>video</strong>. The students did not find difficult anymore in grasping <strong>theme</strong>aning of words as they did before. Formerly, they often made mistakes intranslating similar words i.e. shirt=kaos, skirt=kemeja, shoes=kaos kaki,socks=sepatu, etc. After learning by watching <strong>video</strong>, the students easier ingrasping the meaning of words, even it has similar writing.The <strong>video</strong> not only served all vocabularies related to the topic but alsoexercises, it let the students could learn by doing the exercise. For example, on the<strong>video</strong> entitled “listen and repeat” and “read the word”, the students could directlypractice to pronounce words as they heard from the <strong>video</strong>. The <strong>video</strong> was alsoplayed repeatedly until all students were able to pronounce well. By did manypractice, most students could pronounce words correctly. It was also happened instudents’ writing ability. Before applying <strong>video</strong>, the students were careless andmade many mistakes in writing words because they often wrote words as theyheard. After applying <strong>video</strong>, students became aware in writing. First, they watchedthe correct spellings shown on <strong>video</strong>, reminded them on their mind, and thenwrote carefully on their books. Finally, the students could not only write wordscorrectly but also could describe clothescommitwhichto userare in the form of phrase.


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id57b. The improvement of classroom situationThe classroom situation during teaching-learning process improved afterthe application of <strong>video</strong> in the English class. It could be seen from the first time<strong>video</strong> applied that the students became more interested in joining English class.Through YouTube <strong>video</strong>, the students became happier and enjoy in learningactivities. It also changed the students’ perception toward English that is adifficult subject became easy and interesting subject. In addition, they becameinterest to follow English class, so that all students had entered the classroom andprepared English books before the writer came into the class.During the teaching-learning process, there was no students play or chatwith friends and ask permission to go toilet as they did before. They could focusand paid much attention both to <strong>video</strong> and the teacher. There was also no sleepystudent in the class. All of them were happy and enthusiastic in following allactivities until the end of class. It could be quoted from the interview of students’comment as follows:PVASAMAAAISANIA: Asyik, Bu. Jadi nggak ngantuk lagi.: Jadi nggak banyak nulis, jadi seneng deh sama Inggris.: Kalau pakai <strong>video</strong> gini, lebih mudah belajarnya, karena ada gambar dantulisannya juga di <strong>video</strong>.: Pokoknya menyenangkan, Bu, kalau pakai <strong>video</strong>. Lain kali mbok kaya’ giniterus, Bu. Soalnya jadi nggak gampang bosen.: Gambar <strong>video</strong>nya lucu-lucu, Bu. Jadi asyik pelajarannya.Related to the improvement of students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery, it can beseen at Table 4.9. and Table 4.10. about the students’ achievement below:Table 4.9.

It also can be seen that the students gaineda good achievement at posttest 2.2. Research DiscussionThe last step of action research was discussing the research result. Theobjective of this research was to enrich students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery and improveclassroom situation. Based on the data obtained from research findings, it could beseen that the implementation of YouTube <strong>video</strong> gave its contribution toward theattempts on <strong>enriching</strong> the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery. Those findings arediscussed as follows:a. YouTube <strong>video</strong> can enrich students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong>YouTube <strong>video</strong> that the writer implemented in teaching learning processduring the research could improve the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong>. This improvementinclude: 1) students could recognize vocabularies related to the topic given; 2)students could mention vocabularies given before; 3) students could grasp <strong>theme</strong>aning of words well; 4) students were able to pronounce words correctly; and5) students could write words correctly. These findings are supported by theresearch result stated in pretest and posttests that there is improvement ofstudents’ score that higher than the passing grade, 70.The finding of this research show that the students could recognize thewords given easily since they learned by <strong>using</strong> YouTube <strong>video</strong> because it not onlyshows the writing of words but also its pictures. It is supported by the articleentitled “Learning Vocabulary through Authentic Video and Subtitles” (no-name,undated) that the great value of <strong>video</strong>commitliestoinuserits combination of sounds, images,


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id59and sometimes text (in the form of subtitles). Subtitles can be used together withauthentic <strong>video</strong> to improve word recognition and <strong>vocabulary</strong> acquisition skills inthe EFL class.As stated by TE Editor (2003) young children love to hear stories againand again and the same goes for <strong>video</strong>. By watching a <strong>video</strong> several times,children can learn by absorption and imitation. This statement supports theresearch finding that students could mention words given before easily becausethey have memorized them in their mind. More often the students watchvocabularies shown on the <strong>video</strong>, it will be much easier for them to memorize it.In this study, the findings also show that the students can be easier ingrasping the meaning of words. Wade (2010) states that visual images of <strong>video</strong>help to convey meaning. Similarly, Wilson (2000) who suggests that imagescontextualized in <strong>video</strong> or on its own can help to reinforce language learning,provided the learner can see immediate meaning in terms of <strong>vocabulary</strong>recognition.By applying YouTube <strong>video</strong> in teaching-learning process, the studentscould learn by practicing the exercise given. In pronouncing words, the <strong>video</strong>pronounced word first then asked the students to repeat it. It could be donerepeatedly until the students were able to pronounce words correctly. There aresome advantages of <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> stated by Irina (2010). In term of pronunciation,the students can improve their pronunciation by listening to the language of nativespeakers and imitating it.While in writing words, the findings show that the students could alsopractice writing directly as guided by YouTube <strong>video</strong>. First, it asked students towrite word they already heard, and then checked together by watching its spellingshown on <strong>video</strong>. It is supported by the statements quoted from an article entitled“Learning Vocabulary through Authentic Video and Subtitles” (no-name,undated) that in this context, authentic <strong>video</strong> and subtitles can precisely play animportant role to help learners increase and strengthen their foreign language<strong>vocabulary</strong>, given the appropriate guidance. Any well-prepared learning taskcommit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id60<strong>using</strong> subtitles in authentic <strong>video</strong> will encourage a better understanding andacquisition of new <strong>vocabulary</strong>.In conclusion, the use of YouTube <strong>video</strong> was able to make the studentseasier in learning <strong>vocabulary</strong>. The learners who saw <strong>video</strong> pictures were able toproduce a higher percentage of acceptable vocabularies than the learners who readonly the lists of <strong>vocabulary</strong> given. It is supported by Marshall (2002) who citesthe conclusion of Wiman and Mierhenry (1969), extending Dale’s “ConeExperience” that people will generally remember: 10% of what they read; 20% ofwhat they hear; 30% of what they see; and 50% of what they hear and see.b. YouTube <strong>video</strong> improves classroom situationThe research findings show that <strong>using</strong> YouTube <strong>video</strong> in the classroomwas able to improve classroom situation. It can be seen as follows: 1) students didnot make noises both by playing or chatting; 2) students did not often ask to gotoilet; 3) students had their own initiative to write notes; 4) students became moreenthusiastic in joining English class; and 5) students were active in following thelesson.These findings are supported by Tomalin (1991: 48) that one of the aimsof teaching English to young children is to instill in them the idea that languagelearning is happy experience, and <strong>video</strong> creates an attractive enjoyable learningenvironment. It is also in line with Rammal’s statement. Rammal (2005) in hisresearch entitled “Using Video in the EFL Classroom” states that <strong>video</strong> materialcan be a very useful source and asset for the language teaching-learning processbecause it combines both fun and pedagogic instructions in authentic material thatreflect real interaction.YouTube <strong>video</strong> can also make the students paid much attention until theend of the lesson without any disturbing activity like playing or chatting andasking to go to toilet. They could focus more in teaching learning processconducted in the class. It is supported by Miclaus (undated) who states <strong>using</strong><strong>video</strong>s in the English class is a very helpful and stimulating method to motivatethe students to get the most of the lesson. Williams (1991: 207) in Walker (1997)commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id61also states that children learn better if they have a positive attitude towards whatthey are doing and if they are motivated or want to do it.In conclusion, there are some cases that make the students stop fromlearning English. They are feeling uncomfortable, confused, tired, and bored.Then, learning English with YouTube <strong>video</strong> was able to make them feel fun andcomfort. As stated by Tarunpatel (2009) in his research that students in manycontexts have said they like <strong>video</strong> activities because they provide a break from theusual textbook-<strong>based</strong> activities, and even when the activities challenge students,learning with <strong>video</strong> is more enjoyable. Similarly, Cruse (undated) states that oneof the greatest strengths of <strong>video</strong> is the ability to communicate with viewers on anemotional, as well as a cognitive, level. Because of this ability to reach viewers'emotions, <strong>video</strong> can have a strong positive effect on both motivation and affectivelearning. Not only are these important learning components on their own, but theycan also play an important role in creating the conditions through which greatercognitive learning can take place.commit to user


perpustakaan.uns.ac.iddigilib.uns.ac.id62CHAPTER VCONCLUSION, IMPLICATION, AND SUGGESTIONA. ConclusionAs stated before in Chapter I, the research was about <strong>enriching</strong> students’<strong>vocabulary</strong> by <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> taken from YouTube. The research was done with anEnglish teacher of an elementary school (TA) as the observer since he writer wasas the researcher and also as the English teacher of SD Negeri I Baturetno,Wonogiri. There was pre-research before conducting the research. It includedinterviews, observation, and pre-test. Pre-research was held in order to identify theproblems arose toward <strong>vocabulary</strong> competence and classroom situation during theteaching-learning process. Based on the result of pre-research, there was found 5indicators of problems that showed the students had limited <strong>vocabulary</strong> masteryand the classroom situation was not conducive for teaching-learning process.To solve those problems, the writer decided to bring forward a technique<strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> in presenting and practicing new <strong>vocabulary</strong> through an actionresearch in order to enrich the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> and change the class situationduring teaching-learning process.The research was conducted in two cycles. Every cycle was held in threemeetings. Each meeting was divided into four steps, namely: warming up,presentation, practice, and production.Table 5.1.

Thus, the students couldpronounce words as they heard from <strong>video</strong> and practice to write with the correctspellings as shown on <strong>video</strong>. By playing <strong>video</strong> repeatedly, the students were ableto pronounce and write words correctly because they had more practices inlearning.However, regarding with the classroom situation, the implementation of<strong>video</strong> during the research could change it became more conducive for teachinglearningprocess. It could be seen from there was no students play or chat withfriends and ask permission to go to toilet when the lesson was being delivered.Then, all students became more active in teaching-learning process. They becameenthusiastic in learning process and did not feel bored or sleepy as they felt beforelearning by watching <strong>video</strong>. Moreover, learning <strong>vocabulary</strong> by watching <strong>video</strong>limited the students’ chance in writing notes, so that they had their own initiativeto write the important notes although the teacher did not ask them to write.In conclusion, <strong>based</strong> on the research findings and research discussion inChapter IV, it can be concluded that by applying <strong>video</strong> in teaching-learningprocess can enrich the students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> mastery and change classroomsituation.B. ImplicationIn teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> to children, it is important to implement anappropriate technique and media that match with their characteristics. Based onthe conclusion of the study that there is a significant improvement toward<strong>vocabulary</strong> competence and classroom situation after <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> in teachinglearningprocess, it implies that <strong>using</strong> <strong>video</strong> in teaching <strong>vocabulary</strong> is an effectivemedia to enrich students’ <strong>vocabulary</strong> and also change classroom situation becamemore conducive for teaching-learningcommitprocess.to userUsing <strong>video</strong> combined with games
