INTRODUCTION
To acquire English especially as a lingua franca (Pustika and Wiedarti, 2019), students need to master four English skills such as speaking, reading, listening, and writing. In Indonesia, English is a foreign language and it makes the teaching and learning process is not that easy although some students have learned English since they were in kindergarten (Oktaviani & Mandasari, 2020). If students want to proficient in English, they have to acquire as much English Vocabulary as they can because vocabulary is one of the most important components in English. According to Endarto and Subekti (2020) vocabulary is one of the most basic and important pillars in mastering English. The more words they pick up, the more he/she becomes proficient in that language. Thus, vocabulary is taught to students in the teaching and learning process at English Education of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia, vocabulary became one of the compulsory subjects in their second semester (Pedoman Umum Penyelanggaraan Pedndidikan FSIP, 2017). In learning vocabulary, students will also need to train their listening skills because vocabulary and listening go hand in hand. Hence, an interesting listening activity will be the best choice for acquiring vocabulary since it can provide interesting activity with the opportunity to learn some new words and to become familiar with recognizing the spoken forms of known words. By increasing vocabulary, students' ability for better understanding in listening, speaking, reading, and writing will likely increase. Oktaviani (2016) said that enhancing vocabulary mastery can increase university students' speaking skills.
The improvement of technology has brought diverse media that can be used as a method of gaining knowledge of English like Aminatun and Oktaviani (2019) said that technology usage can boost students' vocabulary mastery which covers spelling, pronunciation, and the usage of it in a sentence. Furthermore, many kinds of media may be used to exercise students' ability nowadays, which include music, video, movies, etc. One of the effective ways that have been used to encourage language students to develop their language competencies is through English movies (Albiladi et. al., 2018). Sharjeel & Dadabhoy (2013) stated that movie is animated graphics that contain color, and sound to capture and maintain student attention. They also added that students' emotions and behavioral adaptation strategy will get affected through the movie as emotions are presented in accessible ways. By watching English movie also make students easy to identify something new, such as students can understand the vocabulary, recognize it immediately, and have the opportunity to "translate" movie life histories into their own lives.
Based on those above explanations, it is undeniable that English movies are one of the media that can be used to learn English. Khoshniyat and Dowlatabadi (2014) believe that the use of English movies can empower students with extensive vocabulary lists, syntax, and also other language skills that will enable them to improve their English proficiency. Al-Sarhan (2013) stated that watching movies can improve students' vocabulary mastery. Furthermore, Sari (2017) stated by watching movies students are not only having interesting pictures to see, but students can also get and learn the values of life through the behavior and actions that exist in the movie. Besides that, watching English movies also could give other advantages such as English movies can keep students' interest in learning English, improve students listening ability and also students can learn some new words and phrases used in English movies (Sari & Sugandi, 2015;Putra, 2012). These advantages will help students to acquire new vocabulary and idioms. Thus, English movies provide a great chance for students to learn English vocabulary by listening. Listening to the conversation in the movies can help students to learn English. Moreover, through listening, the students will get the information as to their first input for their knowledge. Then start to produce words or sentences by speaking as the first output, learn to read as the second input, and start to write as the second output and the advanced level (Putra, 2018).
Besides, according to Sharjeel & Dadabhoy (2013) movies provide a visual expression and present an effect of reality. With this effect of reality, the movie can provide students with natural and authentic English. With this natural and authentic English, students can acquire a lot of vocabulary that they may not be learned and heard at school or college. Furthermore, watching movies can also help the sensitivity of students in hearing, so it helps in improving student's listening comprehension. Next, watching movies also helps students apprehend the meaning of a spoken language by seeing the scene and the expression of the actors in audio-visible form. For most students, movies are also an entertaining and motivating medium because they got entertained and at the same time, they could gain more vocabulary and improving their ability to listening. This accordance with the result of research conducted by Lestari (2018) she stated that using a movie to increase students' vocabulary is an interesting and enjoyable activity where some students learned by doing their favorite activity which is watching the movie. The learning process became more interesting, fun, and more enthusiastic. Therefore, the researchers want to discover students' opinions towards learning English vocabulary by watching English Movies.
