Improving Students' Listening Skill in Understanding Procedure Text by Using Video
This research study investigates the effect of employing a video as an instrument for the development of students’ listening skills. It focuses on the understanding of procedural texts. Listening is rarely listened to in the context of learning a language, while the other skills including speaking, rely heavily on it. The study therefore hopes to tackle some of the cognitive problems that students often face with listening comprehension, such as retaining and accurately following the spoken instructions or even the use of vocabulary.
Using Classroom Action Research (CAR) at IAIN Kediri, the researcher designed two cycles of activities involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were the students in the third semester of English Education Study Program and include pre- and post-tests measuring the improvement. Video media was selected because it involves the devices of both the ears and the eyes making it easy for the students to listen and follow the instructions.
Paivio’s dual-coding theory serves as the theoretical foundation for the study that also explains how effective the pair of any kind of visual and auditory information, is. Supporting studies, including those by Dewi et al. (2021) and Gunawan & Aswandi (2023), illustrates that video served the purpose better since it availed information for the eyes in addition to the auditory information.
