| dc.description.abstract | This research is a classroom action research that was conducted
collaboratively by the researcher with the English teacher. It used DLTA technique
with video to improve the ninth year students‟ listening comprehension achievement
of SMPN 1 Sumberjambe.
This research was begun by conducting an interview with the English teacher
of the ninth year students of SMPN 1 Sumberjambe. It revealed that the ninth year
students of SMPN 1 Sumberjambe, especially class IX-A, still faced some problems
with listening comprehension. The teacher stated that only 33.33% of students could
reach the standard score of Standar Kompetensi Minimum (SKM) of 70. It means that
the students‟ listening comprehension achievement was still low.
To overcome such problem above, applying an appropriate technique in
teaching listening becomes important. The researcher had had discussion with the
English teacher before using DLTA technique with video to improve students
listening comprehension achievement and their participation. It was used because
DLTA technique could help the students in remembering the sequence of the story. It
could also increase the students‟ participation in the listening activity. The video was
used to modify this technique to get better result since the video could motivate the
students to be actively involved in the teaching learning process. In addition, it seems
to be a fun activity for the students because the students never had activity like what
the researcher did.
The data in this research was gathered by administering listening
comprehension achievement test and by having observation in the class in each cycle.
The research design was Classroom Action Research (CAR) with cycle
model. Each cycle consists of four stages of activity: planning of the action,
implementation of the action, classroom observation and evaluation, and data analysis
and reflection of the action.
This research was conducted at SMPN 1 Sumberjambe. The ninth year
students of SMPN 1 Sumberjambe, especially IX-A class, were the research subject
of this research.
Based on the results of the data analysis and discussion, it could be concluded
that teaching listening by using DLTA technique with video in two cycles could
improve the ninth year students‟ listening comprehension achievement at SMPN 1
Sumberjambe in the 2012-2013 academic year. The improvement was from 46.87%
in the first cycle to 69.69% of students who got score of 70 or higher in the second
cycle.
It was also shown that the DLTA technique with video was applicable to the
ninth year students. It was supported by the improvement of the results of observation
that was from 51.72% in Cycle 1 to 83.87% of students who were actively involved
in the teaching learning process.
Finally, the findings in Cycle 2 led to the conclusion that DLTA technique
with video could improve the students‟ listening comprehension achievement and
their participation. Therefore, the English teacher was suggested to use DLTA
technique with video as an alternative in teaching listening. | en_US |
