Penggunaan Lirik Lagu melalui Klip Video untuk Meningkatkan Penguasaan Kosakata Bahasa Inggris (Penelitian Tindak Kelas di SMP Brawijaya)
Hal pertama yang harus dikuasai oleh pelajar untuk belajar bahasa asing adalah kosakata. Kosakata adalah fondasi selain pengucapan dan tata bahasa untuk pelajar. Hasil studi pendahuluan di SMP Brawijaya Smart School untuk siswa kelas VII B menunjukkan bahwa siswa memiliki masalah dalam menguasai kosakata. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari hasil prates dan hasil wawancara guru bahasa Inggris. Dalam hal ini peneliti ingin meningkatkan kosakata siswa menggunakan lirik lagu melalui klip video. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) berdasarkan teori dari McTaggart yang terdiri dari empat tahapan dalam satu siklus, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam satu siklus dan terdiri atas tiga pertemuan untuk memberikan siswa pembelajaran dengan menggunakan lirik lagu melalui klip video. Kriteria keberhasilan dalam penelitian ini adalah 70% dari siswa kelas B mendapatkan nilai 75 (minimum kelulusan) atau lebih. Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti menggunakan wawancara, lembar pengamatan, daftar pengamatan, catatan lapangan, angket, dan tes. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kosakata siswa meningkat dengan menggunakan lirik lagu melalui klip video sebagai media dalam proses belajar mengajar. Persentase menunjukkan bahwa 76,19% dari jumlah siswa berhasil mencapai kriteria keberhasilan. Ada enam belas siswa yang mendapatkan nilai 75 atau lebih.
