Abstract

In this study, the authors implemented Clasroom Action Research by using Youtube vlogging to improve students' speaking proficiency in two cycles. The primary objectives of this study were to describe the implementation of using this media and to find out how much students' speaking proficiency improved. Observations, interviews, field notes, documentation, and speaking tests were used in collecting the data. The authors evaluated the English test results of each student for data analysis. The samples of this study were twenty students of X-E-1 (tenth grade) of SMAK.ST. Gabriel Maumere. Quantitative data were collected from test scores, while qualitative data were collected from the progress of student activities, pleasant classroom atmosphere and interesting learning environment. The average score in the pre-test was 50.6%, with only 25% success rate in class percentages. During the first cycle, eight students (40%) reached the minimum standard of criteria, resulting in an average class score of 65.1%. In the second cycle, 17 students (85%) exceeded the standard, and the class average increased significantly to 77.4%. Consequently, it can be deduced that creating Youtube vlogs can augment students' spoken proficie

Abstract

This study explores the pronunciation of English diphthongs by Sikka students in Yogyakarta, focusing on the phonological challenges and patterns that emerge. The researcher used descriptive qualitative by employing interviews and observations. The participants were ten Sikka students aged 19-34 with varying English learning backgrounds. The researcher asked students to read a text that had diphthongs and compared students' English diphthong pronunciation with the Oxford Dictionary (1995) and Longman Dictionary (2008). The findings show that despite the duration of English language exposure, the participants had difficulties pronouncing English diphthongs correctly. The text contained eight diphthongs, which were included in nineteen words. The data demonstrate that most participants incorrectly pronounced eleven words, which were included in six diphthongs, whilst simultaneously pronouncing eight words, which were included in eight diphthongs, correctly. Analysis indicates that the mispronunciations stem from factors such as the absence of similar diphthongs in the Sikka language, unfamiliarity with English phonology, limited practice, and a lack of focus on diphthongs during language learning. The research addresses a gap in current literature by exploring the impact of the Sikka language, a prevalent local language, on English pronunciation.
