Abstract

This study aims to improve the public speaking skills of sixth-grade students at SDN 2 Daleman through the utilization of YouTube as an audiovisual-based learning medium. Public speaking is a crucial component of oral communication competence that needs to be developed from an early age, as it influences students’ confidence, critical thinking, and ability to express ideas in public. Initial observations indicated that most students faced difficulties in structuring their speeches systematically, using proper pronunciation and intonation, and showing appropriate expression and vocal control during presentations.The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 17 sixth-grade students, consisting of 8 boys and 9 girls. Data were collected through observation, documentation, interviews, and speech performance tests. The success indicators were determined by the increase in the number of students who met the Minimum Mastery Criteria (MMC) of 75 and improvements in specific aspects of public speaking, including expression, pronunciation, intonation, voice volume, and content structure.The results showed a significant improvement in students’ public speaking skills through the use of YouTube media. In the pre-cycle stage, only 7 out of 17 students (41%) achieved the MMC. After the first cycle of implementation, the number increased to 10 students (58%). By the second cycle, 15 students (88%) met or exceeded the target. In addition to the quantitative improvement, qualitative enhancements were observed in students’ delivery of speech elements.Learning improvement was also evident across multiple performance aspects, such as clarity of pronunciation, appropriate expression, dynamic intonation, mastery of content, and proper vocal projection. The effective use of YouTube, particularly through a modeling approach featuring high-achieving students as role models, proved to be a powerful motivator and conceptual clarifier. Moreover, it enabled students to engage in self-reflection by watching their own recorded speeches. Therefore, YouTube serves not only as a visual aid but also as a strategic tool to enhance oral communication skills in the context of 21st-century learning.

Abstract

A leader's speech in an international forum functions as a strategic rhetorical instrument to convey vision, foster solidarity, and assert diplomatic presence. This study analyzes the speech delivered by President Prabowo Subianto at the 2024 D-8 Summit, which centered on the call for unity among Muslim nations. Using a qualitative discourse analysis approach, the study applies Aristotelian rhetorical appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos, within a lexicogrammatical framework. The dataset comprised 37 clauses, examined through mood types, speech functions, and polarity. The findings reveal that declarative mood was dominant (62%), establishing ethos through the delivery of credible statements and objective facts. A Pathos was conveyed via both declarative and imperative moods, reflecting emotional intensity through critical remarks, expressions of solidarity, and direct appeals. Logos was constructed through the inclusion of statistical data and historical references, supporting argumentative coherence. The consistent use of inclusive pronouns such as "we" reinforced collective identity, while the interplay of positive and negative polarity created rhetorical tension that enhanced emotional engagement. This study demonstrates how grammatical choices underpin rhetorical strategies, offering insights into political communication. The findings have implications for diplomatic speechwriting and rhetorical pedagogy, especially in contexts emphasizing cross-national solidarity and advocacy.
