CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, the researcher will explain the reason of conduct the research
including the background of the study, identification of the problem, research questions,
research objective, significant of the study, limitation of the study, definition of the key
terms.
The problem of listening seems more manageable with the help of devices mentioned above.
One of them is a so-called podcasting, which has recently become very popular. The
term “podcast” was first coined in 2004, and it means the publishing of audio. Also, it has
been one of the hottest topics in education (Zhao & Jiao, 2012). The podcast itself is
definedas audio or video files on the web which can be downloaded to a computer or
Mp3 player (Sze, 2006). In line with that, Rajpal et al. (2011) describe Podcast as a
standard digital audio and video broadcast that can be downloaded and played
in mobile devices. .Research in podcasting for language teaching and learning English
has been investigated by many researchers(e.g., Bolliger et al., 2010; Kargozari &
Zarinkamar, 2014; Kavaliauskiene, 2008).
Kavaliauskiene(2008) investigated the use of podcasts as listening tools outside
the class, used by 27 students of psychology and law at Mykolas Romeris University,
Lithuania. The study showed that most of the participants respond to podcasts as a
good toolfor enhancing their listening skills. The findings from the review
underlined two things; first, podcasts greatly supportedthe students in improving
their English skills and other aspects such as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciations.
Second, most of the students showed good attitudes and perceptions towards
the use of podcasts in English learning.
A Task Based Intruction is an approaching which learning revolves around the
completion of meaningful tasks. In the task based intruction, the main focus is the authentic
use of language for genuine communication. Willis (1996) proposes three steps ofTBL
framework consist of (1) pre-task: introduced and define the topic, use activities to help
students learn useful word and phrases, ensures students understand the task instruction,
(2) task cycle: task, planning, and report, and (3) language focus: that consist of analysis and
practice.
This research will also be supported by three previous studies that were conducted on
task-based Intruction. The first research was from Sarinannur (2017) entitle “The Effect
Task-Based Intruction on Students’ Achievement Reading Comprehension”. The researcher
found that there was a significant effect of using Task-Based Learning on the students’
achievement in reading comprehension. It meansthat by using task-based learning the score
of the students achievment in reading comprehension increase, the increase in scrore can be
seen from the percentages of students score during the pre-test and post-test.
The second research was from Nasution (2012) entitle “The Effect of Task-Based
Intruction Method on Students’ Achievement in Writing Procedure Text at SMA N 2
Tanjung Balai”. The result of the analysis showed that the score of students achievment in
writting procedure text improved, it can be seen from the increase percentages of the student
score.
The last research was from Rahmah (2016) entitle “The Use of Task-Based Intruction to
Improve Students’ Listening Skill in The Nine Grade of SMPN 8 Yogyakarta in The
Academic Year of 2016/2017”. Based on the result of this research, it can be concluded, that
the students' listening skill improved. With meaningful, challenging and interesting task and
good choice of material gained the student's enthusiasm in a listening activity.
Living together is a natural human instinct. Based on this statement, individuals need
communication by listening to what other people talk about to meet their needs and convey
their feelings. In addition, listening and speaking can present thoughts, desires, emotions and
desires. To be a complete life guide, therefore God gave us hearing aids so that we can
always
communicate through effective hearing as mentioned in the Qur’an (QS an-Nahl [16]: 78):
َو ُهَّللا َأْخ َر َج ُك ْم ِم ْن ُبُطوِن ُأَّمَهاِتُك ْم اَل َتْع َلُم وَن َشْيًئا َو َجَعَل َلُك ُم الَّسْمَع َو اَأْلْبَص اَر َو اَأْلْفِئَدَةۙ َلَع َّلُك ْم َتْشُك ُروَن
"Dan Allah mengeluarkan kamu dari perut ibumu dalam keadaan tidak mengetahui sesuatu
pun, dan Dia memberi kamu pendengaran, penglihatan, dan hati agar kamu bersyukur."
Thus, This research will be different from the previous studies above, this research
investigates how the students’ perception towards task based intruction using of podcast as
a media in learning listening skill problems that the students may encounterare also
identified.
In this subs chapter, the researcher defined some key terms used in this study.
It aims to give a better understanding. The researcher provide the following key
terms:
LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter will be focused on the theories that will be used to strengthen this
study. It will be consist of some primary variables. By supporting theories is needed
to help in conducting the research. They are Task Based Intruction, Perception,
Learning Media, Podcast and Listening skill
2.1 Task Based Intructional
a) Task-Based Instruction is suitable for all ages and backgrounds, especially young
learners. All children have learned their first language in a contextualized setting,
learning grammar and structure inductively. Their focus is on meaning, not form. A
special consideration for these learners is that their language skills are still
developing and teachers must be careful to create appropriate tasks for their level.
b) Task-Based Instructionare that it can be used to teach content as well as language,
can be combined with more traditional teaching methods, can provide motivation
due to tasks being relevant and immediate, and can be a useful method for students
who do not do well in more traditional types of classroom learning or where
teachers have little autonomy over their lesson planning.
c) Post-task stage: provides an opportunity for students to reflect ontheir task and
encourage attention to form, in particular toproblematic forms which
demonstrate when learners haveaccomplished the task.
2.2 Perception
2.2.1 The Concept of Perception
Furthermore, Adediwura and Tayo (2007) in their research have showed the process
of having a perception. They explain “everything come from outside become an
impression, something we heard and see becomes our consciousness that drafted off in
our certain directions, making a connection with other materials that has already there,
and final become a our reaction.” So, it is clear that perception is our reaction that
elicited when an impression is perceived from without after making a connection with
other materials in the consciuousness (memory). From the explanation above, we can
conclude that perception cannot just appear. It comes from the background information
someone have then it produce a reaction.
Perception might be supported by the individual attitude at a particular moment, the
present and past experience, the human interest, the level of interest, and the
interpretation of the perception (Adediwura and Tayo, 2007: 166). In addition, Mc
Goldrick and Caffrey (2009) defined students’ perception as students’ ability to
justify their own statements and distinguish it from the study that presented in the
classroom.
2.2.2 Factor that Affecting Perception
According to Walgito (2003), the perception is influenced by factors that have been
classified, as follows. First, internal factors. It is factor that come from the ability of
someone in finding and creating something that comes from a relationship with mental,
mental, intelligence, and bodily. Second is external factor. It is comes from the stimulus
and traits that stand out beyond the objects that comes from someone determination
such as: social and environmental.
According to Setiyana (2012), functional and structural factor also influence
individual’s the perception. First, functional factors or personal factors are some factors
that relate to the individual's understanding of the impact from the stimuli, it can be
referred to the benefits of stimuli generated. Second, structural factors or situational
factors are external factors that affect an individual's understanding of the existing
stimuli.
2.3 Learning Media
2.3.1 Definition of Learning Media
Media is defined as a tool that used as a mediator to communicate, or connecting
something to something else. According to National Education Association (NEA)
media are kind of communication can be printed or audiovisual and its equipment.
The media itself can be manipulated, can be seen, heard, and read.
In the education sector media is interpreted as an element or a tool that can
stimulate students to learn. Meanwhile, learning media defined as an instrument to
deliver learning information to students and it is expected to help students to improve
their achievement. Branch (2009), claimed that educators can use media as an
effective aid to construct knowledge and skills because using media allows
information to be dispersed quickly to the learners. In the other hand, Jalmur (2006)
stated that learning media is a method, technique or a tool used to make the teaching
communication or interaction process between teacher and students more effective
and efficient.
Based on those definitions above, we can conclude that learning media is
a device use to conduct learning materials and provide more convenience
learning to students in achieving the learning objectives. If there is a change in
student. behavior, the learning process regarded to be succeed. Therefore, the
more effective learning also more effective learning process will be.
2.3.2 Benefit of Learning Media
By using Media program as a package, it makes the materials become clearer,
more interesting, and more complete for students. Using learning media to present the
material can also arouse curiosity between students. Arsyad (1997) mentioned some
benefits of teaching using media such as: First, learning media make the massage and
information presented clearer. So, it can improve the learning outcomes. Second,
learning media can improve students’ attention so it could lead to improve students’
learning motivation and improve students’ direct interaction to their environment and
allows students to learn on their own interest and abilities. Third, learning media can
be a solution to overcome the space limitation. Learning media provide students the
same experiences close to their environment cases, and sustain a direct interaction
with their teachers, their environment, and community.
We can conclude Arsyad’s opinion about the benefit of learning media that
learning media can excite students’ respond to their environment physically and
emotionally so it can help the learning process.
2.4 Podcast
2.4.1 Definition of Podcast
Podcast is a downloadable audio or video file from the internet. Podcast is
usually played in electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets or mp3
players (Kargozari & Zarinkamar, 2014). Bolliger et al. (2010) mention that there are
three types of podcast available to be used; audio podcast, enhanced podcast and video
podcast. Different types of podcast with different contents are available in many
websites in the internet. VOA, for instance, has changed their television or radio
program into podcast and uploaded to their website.
2.4.2 Types Of Podcast
There are different types of podcast available on the internet. Currently, there
are three types of podcast being produced and widely used that are classified by the
format of content: audio podcast, enhanced podcast and video podcast (Bolliger 2010).
Audio podcast is the most popular and easiest to use. It contains audio only and
requires a small storage space. Mostly, it is in MP3 format and can be played using all
MP3 players. Different from audio podcast, enhanced podcast is a combination of audio
and digital images. Meanwhile, video podcast contains audio and video in one format.
Usually, video podcast is produced in MP4 format and require larger storage space.
Basically, Listening skill is related to hearing sense, but it has a distinct process
from hearing itself. In contrast with hearing, listening skill need an active and
contiguous analysis of the streams of the sound but hearing means perceiving sound in
a passive way. According to Rubin in Helgesen and Brown (2007), listening is an
active process of selecting and interpreting auditory and visual information by listeners
which come from auditory and visual clues. Furthermore, listening skill is an active
process of receiving and responding to spoken message. In the education field listening
skill is one of the subject learned that students not only hear a spoken message but also
analyze the message. According to Helgesen (2003) listening is an active, purposeful
process of making sense of what we hear. When we hear something more often also the
more we can understand it.
select specific information to complete the table provided with the text.
c. Post-listening Activities
Post-listening activities are important because they extend students’ listening skill.
Post-listening activities are most effective when done immediately after the listening
experience.
There are some activities to improve listening skill that provide by Ur, they are:
a. Listen to English pop song, includes write a summary, sing along with the
melody, do a close exercise, andd dictate lyrics.
b. Listen to TV programs or videos, includes follow instructions without looking
the screen, cover the subtitle and watch the first language version in advance.
c. Listen to film, includes read film reviews, make a gap-filling exercise, cover
the subtitles and read the novel of the film.
d. Listen to the radio, includes listen to fast speech, approach other resources in
METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the researcher will focus on how to obtain, gather and arrange the
data collection. It also covers discussion about the research design, research setting, and
technique of data analysis.
3.4.1 Interviews
Interview is one of data collection technique which is done by asking
open-ended question to the participants of the research. It can help the researcher to
understand, and explore subjects’ behavior, experiences, and opinions to gain depth
information based on the phenomena researched. Bungin (2007) stated that depth
interview is a process to gain information needed for the aim of research by face to
face questioning between the interviewer and interview, with or without the use of
an interview guide.
In this study, the researcher focus on interviewing 10-5 participants consist of the
second semester of English Department Students. In conducting the interview, the
researcher prepares a list of question as a guidance to know Student English
Department perceptions toward Task Based Intruction using Podcast as a media in
learning listening skill. In collecting the data from interview, the researcher used steps
as follow. First, the researcher prepared some questions that would be asked to selected
English Department students. The researcher also prepared recorder to record the
respondents answer. Second, the researcher talked and ask prepared question to the
respondents in friendly way. Finally, the researcher record respondents’ answer. This
method conducted to get deep information about the impact of using talk based
intruction method in litening skill.
Questionnaires
3.1.1 Questionnaires
Questionnaires are a list of questions based on the topic that the researcher wants to
explore. The aim of conducting the questionnaires is to gain the important information
from the respondents. In this day, the questionnaires can be conducted by an online
survey such as google form to be more effective and efficient. The set of question in
this study might consist of students’ interest, need, like, or dislike about talk based
intruction method using Podcast as a media in learning listening skill.
Documentations
3.1.1 Documentations
Ary (2010:442) stated documents refer of a wide range of written, visual, and
physical including what other authors my term artifacts. Moreover, according to Lodico
(2010:126) “Documents and artifact produced before the study by the participants
generally include things like public records, personal writing, or instructional
materials”. In this study, some pictures which could be used as data to answer the
research problems were as the evidence that the researcher did the research and to
support the interview and observation.
Here, the documents were included picture during observation. These pictures were as
the secondary data.
5.1 Data Analysis
According Bogdan and Taylor (1975) data analysis is the process of planning effort
formally to find the theme and to formulate hypothesis as suggested by the data and as
an effort to help the theme and the hypothesis. So, it can be synthesized that data
analysis is the process organizing and put the data into the right category, pattern, and
the basic unit in order to find the theme and formulate the hypothesis based on the data
collection.
In accordance with the research objectives, researcher use data analysis procedure
from Miles and Huberman (1992) that consist of three flows activities: data reduction,
data display, verification and conclusion. First, data reduction is started by selecting the
basic thing and focus on something important to the content of data and simplify it. The
data here is student perception toward talk based intruction using podcast as media in
learning listening skill.
The researcher will summarize it by separate the accurate and inaccurate data. Second,
Data display is how the researcher present the data collection in form of word, sentences,
narrative, table and graphic to make it easier to understand and to arrange the next step to
take an appropriate conclusion. Third, verification and conclusion, this is the last step
where the researcher’s conclusion will be verified to the notes taken and furthermore. It
aims to bring the perfect conclusion by drawing the conclusion from the clear data and
good statement. After getting the data collected, the researcher will analyzed the data
continuously and verified about the validity to draw a significant and clear conclusion.
