Abstract

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.

However, it remains unclear how the use of ICT apps affects students’ engagement in speaking class. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the implementation of ICT apps on students’ engagement in speaking class. Qualitative research with a descriptive design was adapted in this study. The participants were students of the English Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Makassar. Through a purposive sampling technique, the lecturer and students of Class A were selected as the research participants. The instruments used were observation checklists and notes to collect the data. The researchers used three steps to analyze the data, there were data reduction, data display, drawing and verifying conclusion. The research findings revealed lecturer plays a crucial role in facilitating engagement by providing challenging tasks and opportunities for students to express themselves. Ultimately, high levels of students’ engagement not only contribute to individual learning outcomes but also foster a sense of validation within the university community, promoting broader talent development and interaction among students and staff. This study concluded that the lecturer plays a crucial role in encouraging engagement by providing challenging tasks. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that students assist themselves and their peers in learning speaking with ICT apps. Lecturers can utilize ICT apps in the English teaching and learning process effectively, thus improving the quality of education and preparing students with updated knowledge to adapt to the changing world. Additionally, other researchers can use this study as a reference for recommending study material to increase insight and conduct studies related to the implementation of ICT apps in the speaking class.
