Narrative is a kind of writing that tells reader a story or relates an event whether in
personal experience or in a personal way. The generic structure of narrative texts is; having
orientation, complication, and resolution. But, the students‟ ability in answering multiple
choice questions about narrative is not same for all students. Therefore, it is necessary to find
choice questions.
In answering the questions the students face many problems. Firstly, the students do
not know what they want to answer or the students have no idea to get the answer. Secondly,
difficulties in learning English is answering the questions, if the students have task to answer
the questions, they will be confused. They usually can’t find the right answer from the text or
even for trying to answer it. Furthermore, they will answer the wrong answer. They do not
know that there is no relation between their answer with the questions.

Unconsciously, we have often watched movies throughout our lives. Movies become
a part of human life. Movies are easy to find, we can watch on television, computer, and
laptop or even in a hand phone. We use movies for entertaining and studying and other
things. Movies have great tendency to attract attention of the students. Watching to the
movies is also fun and very interesting as the media in answering the questions about
narrative. Movies are extremely adaptable and can suit any age, sex, taster, mood or level of
ability. Why we should use movies, the answer for this question for one reason is that the
students need something fun and easy to understand something because they can see the
movie. The techniques of giving exercise by using the text do not make students interested in
The main aim of this study is for the teacher to help the students to answer multiple
choice questions by using animated movie. Therefore, the teacher should create and give
different way to motivate the students in answering questions. Hopefully, the teachers can
apply this way to support teaching learning process especially in giving the exercise to the
students.
Based on the discussion above, the writer wants to observe about the ability of the
Based on the background above, the researcher formulates the problem as follow: - How
is the ability of the students in answering multiple choice questions by using animated movie?
Related to the problem of the study, the objective of the study is: - To find out the
ability of the students in answering multiple choice questions while watching “Beauty and

1.4 The scope of the Research
This research will be focused to the ability of the students in answering
multiple choice questions by using movie namely “Beauty and The Beast”. The
animation video is Beauty and the Beast, Beauty and the Beast is a 1991 American
animated musical romantic fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation
and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Based on the traditional French fairy tale of the
same name by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont. Beauty and the Beast focuses on
the relationship between the Beast (Benson), a prince who is magically transformed
into a hideous monster as punishment for his selfishness, and Belle (O'Hara), a
beautiful young woman who he imprisons in his castle. This movie also has English
subtitle to help the students. The students also will answer 10 questions while

a. Because the prince sent the woman away
b. Because the prince killed the woman
c. Because the prince wicked
d. Because the prince didn’t like the woman
As alternative strategy, this research is to know the ability of the students to answer
multiple choice questions while watching a movie. The writer hopes that the result of the
research can give some education to the teachers especially for the English teachers at SMA

The significance of this research is expected to be valuable to the English teacher in
improving the ability of the students in answering multiple choice questions by using
animated movie and to help the English teacher to create a new technique in giving narrative
exercise to the students not only by using text but also can use the movie. The researcher
hopes that the students will get the new alternative way to answer multiple choice questions
by using animated movie. The researcher also hopes that this research will be useful to the
readers to get information, knowledge and to get a new way to give exercise to the students
So, this study is useful to find out whether answering multiple choice questions can be

2.1 Ability
Ability is present state of being able to make response or perform a certain task, when
we say that a person has ability to do something and he or she can do it right in their life.
Noah Webster’s collegiate dictionary defines ability is the quality or state of being
Based on the idea above, the writer makes a conclusion that ability is one’s capability
of doing something and that of making a certain physical or mental response. When we say
that a person has an ability to do something, it means he or she can do it right now. In relation

to the objective of this study, ability is the student’s capability to answer the multiple choice
questions.

Narrative text is any written text in which the writer wants to amuse, entertain
people, and to detail with actual or vicarious experience in different ways. It provides
an aesthetic literary experience to the reader. Narrative text is written based on life

Once upon a time there lived a little, named Snow White. She lived with her
One day she heard her aunt and uncle talking about leaving Snow White in
the castle because they wanted to go to America and they didn’t have enough money
Snow White didn’t want her uncle and aunt to do this. So she decided to run
away. The next morning she run away from home when her aunt and uncle were

knocked but no one answered so she went inside and felt asleep
Meanwhile seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside.
There, they found Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs. The dwarfs said; “What
is your name?”. Snow White said; “My name is Snow White”. One of the dwarfs said;
“If you wish, you may live here with us”. Snow White told the whole story about her.
Then Snow white and the seven dwarfs lived happily ever after.
2.4 Movie
Movies, also known as films, are a type of visual communication which use
moving pictures and sound to tell stories or inform (help people to learn). People in
every part of the world watch movies as a type of entertainment, a way to have fun.
Fun for some people can mean laughing, while for others it can mean crying, or
feeling afraid. Most movies are made so that they can be shown on big screens at

thing, not everything shown or implied by the fiction films needs to be imaginary,
a typical fictional film stages its events: they are designed, planned, rehearsed,
filmed and re- filmed. In a fictional film the agents are portrayed or depicted by an
work that are done at production stage. Animation films do not do continuously

Harmer states that there are many reasons why video (film) can be used in
language learning:
One of the main advantages of film is that students do not just hear
