<![CDATA[This research is to (1) determine how using TED Talks videos affects students' public speaking performances and (2) ascertain how students view TED Talks videos in the context of English classes, where they are utilized as a teaching tool for public speaking. This study employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental research strategy. First-year MA DDI Lilbanat Parepare students made up the study's population. A basic random selection group of 16 students for the experimental group and 17 students for the control group was used in the study. While the control group employed traditional teaching methods (textbook-centered method), the experimental group received therapy via YouTube TED Talk videos. Pre- and post-tests were used in this study to gather data, and a questionnaire was used to find out how students felt about the YouTube TED Talk video. The analysis of the gathered data was done with SPSS version 26. The average speaking score for the experimental group was 45 on the first exam and 53 on the second, according to the data analysis results. In contrast, the control group's average speaking score on the first and final exams was 40 and 41, respectively. In the post-test fort test, the t-value (8.345) is greater than its t-table value (2.219), and the p-values for the experimental and control groups were both less than α (0.000 < 0.05) and control groups (0.041 < 0.05). This means the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted. This indicates that YouTube TED Talks videos affect students speaking performance. In addition, the perception of the students, obtained through the questionnaire showed that they had a positive view of the YouTube TED Talk Video.]]>

<![CDATA[This research aims to explore the difficulties of Business English Communication students in memorizing English vocabulary and explore the strategies used to overcome these difficulties. Vocabulary mastery is essential for language proficiency, yet students often struggle due to several factors. The research objectives include identifying key challenges and exploring effective strategies students use to overcome them. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with interview and observation data collection techniques, collecting data focused on the meaning and subjective experiences of 4th-semester Business English students in the process of memorizing English vocabulary by involving 6 students. The results show that students have difficulty in memorizing vocabulary in 8 factors: Mispronunciation, Misspelling, The Length of Vocabulary, Multiple Meanings Cause Confusion, Difficult Recognition in Similar Words, Lack of Identifying While Listening, Unfamiliar Words, and Misunderstanding in Catching Non-verbal Cues While Speaking. Despite these obstacles, students utilize strategies such as repetitive practice, contextual learning, and digital tools to enhance vocabulary retention. Conclusions indicate that while students employ effective strategies, long-term retention remains a challenge without consistent practice. Recommendations include providing more practice opportunities, emphasizing phonetics in learning, integrating vocabulary into real-life contexts, and encouraging the use of technology for self-directed learning. These approaches can significantly improve students' vocabulary acquisition and overall language proficiency.]]>
