collected through interview, observation, questionnaires, document analysis,
and photograph that then were analyzed through assembling the data, coding,
comparing, and then building interpretations, and finally reporting the
outcomes. The research findings show that the use of videos can improve
students’ motivation in learning English, in terms of becoming more confident,
active, diligent, and they have desire to be success in learning English.
