ENHANCING THE FIRST SEMESTER STUDENTS’ SPEAKING ABILITY USING INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO
Abstract
This one-cycle Clasroom Action Research (CAR) was intended to improve students’ speaking abilty in describing someone. This was done because the researchers’ observation during preliminary study showed that students found difficulties in delivering their thought in speaking. It was indicated by their hesitation to present their thoughts. Besides, from some students’ performance during preliminary study, the researchers found that students still found difficuties to pronounce English words. To this, instructional video implementation was selected to eliminate this problem. After the plannings were implemented, the results of video implementation was reflected by reflecting the revealed scores with the criteria of success. Finally, it was found that using instructional video in teaching speaking did not only improve students’ speaking ability but also motivate students to participate actively in the teaching and learning process.
