Abstract

ABSTRACT Sena Yulianti : The Utilizing learning Media in Motivating Students’ Learning English at SMPN 01 Ujan Mas, Kepahiang Advisor : Jumatul Hidayah, M.Pd Co-Advisor : Sarwo Edy, M.Pd This study investigates the utilizing of learning media in motivating students to learn English at SMP Negeri 01 Ujan Mas, Kepahing. The research addresses three key questions: 1) What learning media are used by the teacher to motivate students in learning English at SMP Negeri 01 Ujan Mas, Kepahing? 2) How do learning media motivate students in learning English at SMP Negeri 01 Ujan Mas, Kepahing? 3) How do students perceive the learning media used by the teacher in teaching English at SMP Negeri 01 Ujan Mas, Kepahing? The research utilized a mixed-methods approach, involving observations, interviews with both teachers and students, and questionnaires, with a total of 90 student respondents. The findings revealed that the teacher employed a variety of learning media to motivate students, including visual tools (images, diagrams, and videos), audio resources (podcasts and audiobooks), interactive tools (games and quizzes such as Kahoot and Quizizz), multimedia presentations (integrating text, images, and videos), and traditional print materials (textbooks and workbooks). These media were found to enhance engagement, comprehension, and participation. Learning media motivated students by making English lessons more interactive, engaging, and relevant to real-life situations, improving listening and speaking skills, and offering immediate feedback. The diverse formats of learning activities, such as videos, games, quizzes, and online exercises, helped prevent boredom and maintained student interest. The students’ perception of the learning media was overwhelmingly positive. They found the media engaging, helpful in understanding difficult concepts, and conducive to a more enjoyable learning experience. The variety of learning media was particularly appreciated for accommodating different learning styles, making the learning process more personalized. The study concludes that the use of diverse learning media significantly enhances students' motivation, engagement, and overall learning experience in English lessons. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teachers continue to integrate varied learning media to further support student motivation and language acquisition. Further research could explore the long-term effects of these media on language skills development.
