IMPROVING STUDENTS’

LISTENING SKILLS BY USING


ANIMATION VIDEOS THROUGH
SENTENCE

By Kartika Rose Santy


Language is a window on the mind. Language has some different functions in the
society where it is used. The function for which a language is used in a society
affects the status of the language itself. In a society, a language can play a role as
the official, educational, religious, and group language, national and international.

One of the lingua franca languages is English, it has an important role almost in
all aspects of life. In Indonesian education system, English has been becoming a
compulsory foreign language that is taught since in the elementary school until
university and examined in the national examination to determine students’
graduation.
In learning language, listening as a basic of language skill is a fundamental key to
all effective communication. It is the ability to accurately receive and interpret
messages in the communication process that helps language learners to acquire
word stress, pronunciation. Without the ability to listen effectively, messages are
easily misunderstood.
LISTENING IS A PROCESS THAT CONSISTS OF FOUR
STAGES :

Understanding and
Sensing and Attending
01 Listening begins with physical
02 Interpreting
Understanding and interpreting a
hearing of the message and taking
message is an important stage in
note of it. Sensing is, thus, the first listening because it enables you to
step of the listening process. evaluate its meaning for correctness and
validity and respond to the other
person.
Remembering
03 04 Responding
the process of storing the meanings
that have been received so that At this stage you complete the
they may be recalled later. process of listening by providing
feedback to the speaker.
There are several figures who argue about the definition of
listening, they are:
● Rost (2002) states that listening is mental process of constructing meaning
from spoken input.

● Harmer (2001) states that listening is a receptive skill where people obtain the
main idea according to what they hear.

● Helgsen cited by Gonzales Moncada (2003) states that listening helps learner to be
flexible listeners.

● Richard & Rubin (cited by Van Duzer, 1997) states that listening is a passive skill
it is very much an active process of selecting and interpreting information
from auditory and visual clues.
From the observation in the classroom and the interview with the teacher and the
students, it found that most of the students admitted that they had difficulties in the
listening section

• First, they have problem with different accents and pronunciation.


• Second, they don’t recognize the words while listening.
• Third, length and speed of listening which lead the student became difficult to
understand the point of contents’ what the speaker says.
• Fourth, the materials used in teaching learning activities were mostly taken
from the course book contained complicated and monotonous materials and
tasks.
In order to solve the problem mentioned above, efforts needed to be done to keep
the students exited in learning especially in developing their listening ability.
Hence, the teacher needs an appropriate technique to stimulate the students’
motivation and interest in learning listening skill.
And there are ways that are considered good and suitable for students in
listening, namely through the use of animated videos.
Related to the explanation above we conclude that animation video has many advantages in
learning listening :

• Harmer (2001) points out that one major advantage of videos is that learners not only
can listen the language but also they can see it, in order to support comprehension.

• Katchen (2002) A great advantage of video is that it provides authentic language input
because movies and TV programmes are made for native speakers
To prove the learning method through this animated video, a study has been conducted.
The samples of this study were two classes selected from 10 classes randomly. Class
VII.4 consisted of 22 students as experimental class, while Class VII.5 consisted of 22
students as control group. Therefore the total samples were 44 students of SMPN
Bandar Baru in the academic year 2017/2018.
The researcher used the animation videos through sentence completion. To answer
research question, pre-test and post-test were conducted. Pre-test was given in the first
meeting in order to see how far the students’ ability in listening skill before the researcher
taught them by using animation videos through sentence completion. In the last meeting,
post-test was given in order to know if there were some improvement of students’ ability
in listening skill.
Both the experimental class and control class got the pre-test, the test were given in the first
meeting. It was presented in written test which consisted of 10 questions of fill in the blank.
In the last meeting, post-test was given for both groups to measure the students’ achievement
after the treatment was applied. In this test, the students were also asked to answer 10
questions of fill in the blank. Each correct answer was scored with mark 10. When
students could answer all of the questions, they would get score 100.
After pre-test and post-test were conducted, the scores of all tests are set up in the
frequency distribution which is analyze by using mean. The mean is use to find the
average score of the whole students pre-test and post-test in the experimental.
Then from the study, it was shown that the experimental class had a total score of
1670. While the control class had a total score of 650. It can be said that the
English listening achievement of experiment class is higher than the control class.
It means that there was a significant difference the English listening achievement
between students who are taught by using animation video through sentence
completion and those who are taught by traditional method. In this case, the use of
animation video was necessary needed in teaching listening.
Conclusion

It can be concluded that using of animation videos through sentences


completion in teaching listening can improve students’ listening skill of the
students of junior high school, especially for the first grade students of SMPN 1
Bandar Baru.
