The Effect of Using Video on The Eighth Grade Students' Achievement in Listening Skill

Abstract

This experimental research also called as pre-test – post-test control group design only focused on investigating the effect of using video as the medium of learning for the eighth grade students’ listening achievement at junior high school in academic year of 2022/2023. This research was conducted on 17th March, 2023 until 5th April, 2023. The population of this research was all eighth grade students in one of the junior high school in Singosari district. The participants were two classes which were experimental group and control group selected based on the homogeneity test result. The result of homogeneity test showed that the population was heterogeneous. Therefore, the participants were chosen from the classes that have the closest mean. The researcher selected VIII-B as the experimental group and VIII-C as the control group. The students in the experimental group were taught listening by using video as a medium of learning while the students in control group were taught by using audio. Both group were taught twice a week. The result of the post-test were analyzed statistically by using Independent sample t-test in SPSS 22 computing system to know the mean difference between two classes. Based on the data analysis, hypothesis was needed to be verified whether there was or there was not a significant effect of using video as the medium of teaching listening to eighth grade students’ listening achievement. Then, it was proven by the Sig. value (2-tailed) 0.000 which is less than 0.05. Thus, it could be stated that there was a significant effect of using video on the eighth grade students’ listening comprehension achievement. Based on the result of this research, it can be concluded that there was a significant effect of using video on the eighth grade students’ listening comprehension achievement. Therefore, the researcher would like to give suggestion to the English teachers to use video as a medium of teaching listening. In addition, for the future researcher can investigate the same research with different skill, different material, or different research design.
