THE EFFECT OF USING MOVIE CLIPS ON SPEAKING ABILITY OF THE ELEVENTH GRADE SCIENCE STUDENTS OF SMA MUHAMMADIYAH 3 JEMBER IN THE 2012/2013 ACADEMIC YEAR

Abstract

This experimental research is intended to know whether or not there was a significant effect of movie clips on speaking ability of the eleventh grade science students of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember in the 2011/2012 academic year. In this research, the researcher used movie clips in teaching speaking as it is believed to be a helpful medium in teaching and learning process. As Miclaus (2010) says that using movies in an English class is a very helpful and stimulating method to motivate students to get the most of the lesson. In this research, the researcher took the movie clips from the three different movies. They were “16 Wishes”, “A Walk to Remember” and “Step Up 3D”. The experimental group was treated by three different movie clips, while the control group received no treatment or it was taught speaking by using pictures as usually done by the teacher. This research was conducted to investigate the effect of using movie clips on speaking ability of the eleventh grade science students of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year. The population of this research was all of the eleventh grade science students of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year. The research respondents were determined by using cluster random sampling by conducting a homogeneity analysis. It was analyzed by using ANOVA. Based on the result of ANOVA, the population of the research was homogeneous. Therefore, the researcher chose two classes of five classes by lottery to decide which class to be experimental group and which class to be control group (XI IPA 2 and XI IPA 3). The number of the respondents were 69 students, consisting of 34 students ofXI IPA 2 with the mean score 73.85 as the experimental group which were taught speaking by using movie clips, while the control group consisted of 35 students of XI IPA 3 with the mean score 73.12 as the control group which were taught speaking by using picture. The primary data of this research were collected from the students’ scores of speaking post test. The scores were used to compare the students’ speaking ability of the two groups after the treatment. Further, the post test result was analyzed statistically by using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) with Independent Sample T-Test to know whether the mean difference between the experimental and the control groups was significant or not. The result showed that the value in Sig column of Lavene’s Test for Equal Variances Assumed was 0.019. The researcher used the second row of the output of Independent Sample T-Test of speaking post test column; because the Sig (2-Tailed) column value was 0.019 which was lower than 0.050. Consequently, the formulated null hypothesis (H0): “There is no significant effect of using movie clips on speaking ability of the eleventh grade science students of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year” was rejected. On the other hand, the formulated alternate hypothesis: “There is a significant effect of using movie clips on speaking ability of the eleventh grade science students of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year” was accepted. The research results proved that there was a significant effect of using movie clips on speaking ability of the eleventh grade science students of SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember in the 2012/2013 academic year. Therefore, it is recommended to the English teacher to use movie clips as alternative media in teaching speaking.
