Background of The Study:

Communication is the most important thing that human needs to
stay connected to another people in the world. Communication.
communication is the activity of connfeying information throught
the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech,
visuals, signals, writing, or behaviour.[1] In general, communication
done verbally and it can be understood by both of the
communication doer. To make the communication be connected we
need the component of communication. The most commonly
component of coommunication is language. Language is a
communication tool in the form of sound system or the voice
system which it produced by humans vocal organs. Each of the
languages sign has the meaning. It purposed to make the
communication be interactive. Language is used in a group of
civilization. The language for each group is different. For example
the language in indonesia and in the England are far different, but
they have the same purpose or the mean eventhough they are in
different form. To mastering the language we have to understand
and learn about the four skills of language. They are speaking,
reading, writing, and listening. Each of them are important and has
the relation each other. There are many kinds of subject in teaching
and learning english, one of the basic language skill is speaking.
Speaking is an interactive process which consist of producing
systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning.[2] Mastering the
art of speaking is the single most important aspect of learning a
second language and success is measured in terms of the ability to
carry out a conversation in the language.[3] The interaction in
communication will not run smoothly if the speaker doesnt have
the speaking ability. Speaking ability is described as the ability to
express oneself in life situation, or the ability to report acts or
situation in precise words, or the ability to converse, or to express a
sequence of ideas fluently.[4] In speaking, we must give attention
to how the way we speech the word. The way ro speech the word is

called pronounciation. Pronounciation is the important parts of

speaking. Pronunciation is the way in which a language or particular
word or sound is spoken.[5] Pronounciation used to make the
speaker speaks more fluency and easy to understand. Fluency can
be thought of as the ability to keep going when speaking
spontaneously.[6] There are some rules to pronounce the word in
pronounciation. And it also consist how the way we produced the
word or the letter using our speaking organs. We can learn about it
to make our speaking well. Pronunciation is the aspect that most
affects how the speaker is judged by others, and how they are
formally assesed in other skills.[7] Sometimes how to measure the
peoples english speaking skill is looked from their pronounciation
and their fluency. We have to learn pronounciation to do mastering
english well. Learning english pronounciation is not easy, especially
for the Indonesian. We know that english in Indonesia is not being
the primary language or the secondary language. So it will make
the Indonesian has some difficulties and problems in learning
pronounciation. There are some problem in learning pronounciation,
especially for indonesian people in their school. There are some
problem in teaching and learning pronounciation in the school in
Indonesia. For the first is some of the students have low motivation
in learning english. The second is the social background of the
students. The students dont use english as their primary language.
It makes they hard to pronounce the word or the letter in english.
Then the lesson time. It was only 2 times per week the english
lesson in school. The english material be learned isnt focused on
pronounciation, the material is english commonly. So they dont get
enough time to learn about english pronounciation. The third
problem is about the teacher. Sometimes the teacher uses the
bored technique or method in teaching english. It makes the
students dont pay attention to the teacher. The teacher usually
teach english using indonesian language, so the students cant
learn and practice to pronounce the word. And if the teacher using
english to communicate in teaching english, sometimes their
pronounciation is not true. They speak by themselves. But its not a
big problem. Among the problems that we faced in teaching
pronounciation in the school, we should can managed the condition
in teaching and learning process. We can use media to make the
students interest with the lesson. For example is using audiovisual
media, especially video media. Video media is one of the tools that
can help the teacher sends the materials to the students. The
students catch the material by listening and watching. Video media
shows the animation picture and the sound that contains the

material. Usually, the students are likely to get material by

watching or listening than orally by the teacher. With this media,
the students will be more interest to giving attention to the the
lesson. Video media can help the students to improve their
pronounciation ability. This media shows the animation picture and
audio that can be attenting by the students. The students can give
attention to the speakers lips that shows in the video while
listening to the what the speaker said. With understanding the
mimic and the pronounciation, the students will be more easy to
pronounce the word. It also can help the students to know how to
pronounce the word with the true way. Video media is one of the
media that very effective to use in teaching English pronounciation.
Based on the background of the study, the writer takes the title
IMPROVING THE PRONOUNCIATION BY USING VIDEO MEDIA TO THE
VIIA STUDENTS OF SMPN 1 SUKOMORO. II.
Identification and
Limitation of The Problem
According to the background of the study above, some problem can be
identified as follows;
1.
The students have low motivation in learning english speaking and
pronounciation. 2.
The students dont use english as their primary
language, so it makes them harder to learn about pronunciation. 3.
The
duration in learning english is limited per week. 4.
The teachers
methods in teaching english, especially in english speaking and
pronounciation is not attract the students. From the identification above,
the limitation of the study is focused on the implementation of using
audiovisual (video) media in teaching english pronounciation to improve
the students pronounciation skill to the VII A class of SMPN 1 Sukomoro
Magetan in academic year 2013/2014. Main Competency 4; Mencoba,

Review of Related Literature

1.
Theoretical Background Theoretical background involves overview of
teaching English pronunciation and the use of video media in teaching
English.
a.

Pronunciation

Pronounciation is one of important skills needed in speaking English. We

can measure how fluent someone in speaking by his pronunciation.
Pronunciation has some definition.
According to Ann Cook, pronounciation is the spoken sounds of vowels,
consonants, and combination.[8] We can take assumption from that
statement that pronunciation is how the way we speak the vowels,
consonants, and the combination of it. We are able to learn how to
produce the word correctly with learning pronunciation.
Based on Michael brooks argument, pronunciation is in which a language
or word is pronounced.[9] pronunciation is how the way we pronounce the
word. How we can speech the word is included in pronunciation.
Beside of that, Gelatd Kelly has opinion that pronunciation is the language
feature that most readily identifies speakers as non-native, it is also a
filter through which others see them and poften discriminate against
them.[10] We can conclude that toward pronunciation we are able to
identify the speakers. We can know if someone is the native or not by his
pronunciation. b.
Teaching Media
According to Hamalik, teaching media contains the message or
materials of teaching that is ging to convey for the students. Teaching
media is an instrument of the method and technique that use as an effort
to make interaction between students and teacher be more interactive in
teaching and learning process.[11] In conclusion, teaching media is one of
the technique that used in learning and teaching process. It has a purpose
to make the teaching and learning process be more active, interactive,
and effective.
Teaching media is the instruments physically used to convey or bring the
messages that contain instruction of teaching or lesson material an used
in learning and teaching process.[12] Teaching media is a tool that used to
deliver message from the teacher to the students. The message contains
informations, materials, and lessons.

c.

Video

Video media is one of media that can be use as the tool in learning and
teaching process. There are many definition of video media. According to
the oxford dictionary, video is the recording, reproducing, or broadcasting
of moving visual images.[13] We can understand that video is the picture
that be moved and taken from the record, video also has sound. We can
hear and watch the information toward this media. According to Suyatno,
audiovisual media (video) is hear and view media as well as can be
viewed and can also be heard.[14] In spite of those theory, we can take
conclusion that video is the media that produce visual and sound that can
be watch and listen. At the other opinion, audiovisual (video) media is
the media that bring out the message or information through the sound
and visual from examine video, cassete, film, etc. [15] In spite of those
statement, we can conclude that video is the media that use picture and
sound to inform the message or information.

Previous Research Finding

Beside of the literature that explained above, the writer conduct this
thesis from the research before. It is written by Tarfiyatul Marah titled
The Implementation of Teaching Listening by Using Audio Visual Media in
MAN Paron. In this thesis shows the effectiveness of teaching listening by
using audiovisual media. So it makes the writer wants to try to implement
the audio visual media in teaching pronunciation. In this thesis the
researcher explained detail about the video media in teaching listening.
And the conclusion of those thesis is video media is able to be
implemented and can improve the students listening skill. It can show the
students activeness, cooperativeness, and the students achievement
from the first until the end of the cycle. They are also following;
a.
The use of video media in teaching speaking is suitable. It is
because the students attract with the use of video media in their learning
process.
b.
The students speaking achievement can be improve by using video
media. In this case, the writer knows that the result of the students
achievement.
This thesis has some weaknesses. The first is about its structure.
There are many fragment sentences, so it makes the reader not easy to
understanding the contents of the thesis. The next is about the
explanation. The researcher explanation in this thesis is few complicated.
It makes the reader be confused when they understanding the thesis
contents.

In contrast from the weaknesses, this research also has strengths.

This thesis consist full of research contents, it makes the reader which is
being learn about how tho construct the thesis can be learn optimally by
this thesis. It can be the reference for the new thesis constructor. Almost
of all arguments in this thesis is based on the theory, not just at random.
So it makes the reader attracts to continue to read the thesis.

Theoretical Framework

Bagui, S. in his journal titled Reasons for Increased Learning

Using Multimedia (1998) stated that there is reason to believe that video
would be a helpful addition to usual pronunciation teaching. Information
processing theory suggests that by using both auditory and visual
information a student is able to use dual-coding and access information
through multiple routes. In conclusion, video can help students to learn
pronunciation effectively. They get two information directly. From the
audio and also from the visual which appear in video. It really help the
students. They can hear what the speaker say an also the speakers
mouth movement.
Calvert, G.A. on his book titled Activation of Auditory Cortex During
Silent Lipreading (1997) informed that a visual addition may also affect
activation of auditory processing in the brain. It has been shown that a
subject watching a person make speech-like mouth movements, even
when there is no accompanying sound, is enough to activate the auditory
cortex. We can conclude that visual can help the auditory processing of
the brain work smoothly. With visual in adition of auditorial can make us
easy to catch the information that convey on the video. It was because we
see what they have spoken toward the video.

Research Methods

1.
Research Design Research design is plans on how to collect and
analyze data in order to be economically feasible and in line with the
research objectives. Thus, research design is a plan of gathering and
analyzing data in order to fit with the research objectives.[16] The
purpose of research design is guiding and helping the researcher in
conducting the research activities. In term of research methodology, the
writer uses the Classroom Action Research as the method of the research.
Classroom Action Research usually called CAR is used to identified the
problem in the class than find out the way to solve thats problem. CAR
also can be use to improve the teacher proffesionalism in teaching. Action
research is an investigation, where, as a result of rigorous self appraisal of
current practice, the researcher focuses on a problem (or topic or an issue
which needs to be explained), and on the basis of information (about the

up-to-date state of the art, about the people who will be involved and
about the context), plans, implements, then evaluates an action then
draws conclusions on the basis of the findings.[17] We can conclude that
the purpose of the Classroom Action Research is to find out, analyze, and
solve the problem that found at the class in order to improve the quality of
educational process in the class. 2.
Classromm Action Research Object
Classroom action research object of this research is on the improving the
pronounciation by using video media to the VIIA students of SMPN 1
Sukomoro in academic year 2013/2014. 3.
Reserch Variable Based on the observation in learning and teaching
process at the VIIA class of SMPN 1 Sukomoro in academic year
2013/2014, there found many problem, especially related to the students
english pronunciation. In this research, the writer conduct the observation
on some variables. The variable of this research are;
1.

The students activeness.

2.

The students pronunciation ability.

3.

The students achievement before and after using video media.

4.
Technique Collecting Data In this research, the research applied
interview, questionaire, observation, and documentation as the technique
in collecting data. a.
Interview Interview is a technique of collecting
data through conversation. Interview is a face-to-face interaction which
allow the interviewer asks carefully prepared questions and in addition to
cope problem of the respondent so that further information is obtained.
[18] The writer uses interview to know research subject characteristics.
b.
Questionaires The questionaire is a survey of differet opinions from
large numbers of people who provide anonymous replies. The question are
standarized, the questionaire should be attractive, clearly set out, with a
title on crisp paper.[19] In conclusion, questionaire will help us in
gathering information from population or in big number of people. c.
Observation Observation is a very usefull means of gathering objective
data in the classroom. It can be used in different ways, to record aspects
of both teaching and learning. The recordings can tell when and where as
well as how often and so provide a rich source of information for reflection
and evaluation .[20]
d.
Documentation Documentation is a method of collecting data that
use to save all of information among the research. Documentation also
can be use to monitoring all of the research process. In this research,
documents that be used are the result of assesment, students
attendance, photo, video, and the others relevan documents.

5.
Data Analysis Data analysis is the process of arranging data
sequence, organize into a system, category and set of the breakdown of
base. In this research, researcher analyzing the data quantitatively. The
data from test is analyzed by using calculating the mean. The formula is;
M = M = Mean
f = frequency fx = total
score
x = Total score = Sum of the
score
N = Number of students It is also analyzed by using
percentage method such as follows; P = P = percentage F = frequency of
answer n = number of respondent 6.
Research procedure This research
is classroom action research which is used to increase students speaking
ability. The process of action research implementation is done in the
stages until it succeed. Generally, there are four procedures in the CAR.
1.
Planning is the step in which the researcher plans every things to be
applied in the classroom.
2.

Acting is the implementation of the planning in the classroom.

3.
Observing is the observation activities when the teaching and
learning process in the classroom.
4.
Reflecting is the step which the researcher analyzes the all result of
observation of the study after conducting the research.[21] The
procedures of action research are devided in the form of cycles. Which
each cycle consists of four main activities: planning, action, observation,
and reflection.[22] a.
Cycle I
1.

Planning

a)
Identifying the problem, the teacher asked the students to make
some critics and suggestion in the pronunciation class. Then the teacher
conclude the problem based on critics and the suggestions.
b)
Planning the action, in the first cycle the writer planned to apply the
use visual media in teaching english themed Greeting and Asking for
Permission.
c)
Choosing subject material, the writer choose the material as the
subject of material by the title Greeting and Asking for Permission
d)

Preparing the lesson plan.

e)
Making instrument, such as media, teaching aid, etc. f)
Assesment, at the end of the meeting the teacher asks the students to
pronounce the words or sentences based on the video given. Its used to
evaluate for the next meeting.

2.
Acting To get an accurate data, the writer conducts the action
research in two cycles. Each cycle will be done in two meeting. In the first
meeting, the writer used a simple teaching and introduces video media to
the students. In this case, the teacher explain about greeting and asking
for permission. In the second meeting, the teacher reviews the material in
the first meeting. The teacher invites the students to recognize and
identify the greeting and the asking for permission expression in the
different video. Then the teacher asks the students to pronounce the word
that recognized.
3.
Observing The writer observes the teaching pronunciation process
and recorded the students activities, progression, and situation in each
meeting.
4.
Reflecting The writer analyzes the activities during the teaching
process. Looking for the result of the assignment, and write considered
what should be done. The writer goes to second cycle because to analyze
the result of teaching learning process and rebuilt the better teaching
learning process. b.
Cycle II 1.
Planning a)
Identifying the
problem, the writer identified the weaknesses and the problems that
occured during the aplication of first cycle, and set up the revise plan.
b)
Planning the action, the writer apply video media in teaching english
Saying thanks and Asking forgiveness expressions. c)
Choosing
subject material, the writer choose the material as the subject of material
by the title Saying thanks and Asking forgiveness. d)
Preparing
lesson plan. e)
Making instrument. f)
Assessment, at the end of
meeting the teacher asks the students to practice pronounce the words,
sentences, or expressions founded in the video. 2.
Acting
In first
meeting, the teacher asks the students to recognize and identify the
expression that shown in the video. After that the teacher asks the
students to read the expression was found in the video by the well
pronnunciation based on the video.
In the second meeting, the
teacher reviews the material previously, and give some questions orally
need to be answer by the students directly. After that, the teacher play the
video and give some exercises. After students done the exercises, the
teacher asks the students to read the answer by the well pronunciation.
The answer of the questions is based video. 3.
Observing
The
writer observes the teaching pronunciation process and recorded the
students activities, progression, and situation in each meeting. 4.
Reflecting
Cycle II is the last cycle. If the use of video media was
considered to be successfully in teaching english, the researcher
determined that the technique was effective in improving students
pronunciation skill.
