Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of creating sports demonstration videos on students' speaking fluency and accuracy in English. The research subjects were first-semester students of the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Data were collected through video transcript analysis and student questionnaires. The findings indicate that practicing instructional delivery in videos enhances speaking fluency, as shown by reduced pauses and word repetitions. However, in terms of accuracy, errors were still found in grammar, word choice, and pronunciation of technical sports terms. The primary factors affecting accuracy were the lack of speaking practice in academic contexts and insufficient direct correction. This study confirms that project-based tasks, such as video creation, can be an effective strategy for improving students' speaking skills in second language learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Mentimeter in activating students to be more engaged in the Universitas Negeri Makassar Educational Technology Study Program. Utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods, data were collected from a total of 20 participants (n = 20) through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The results are that Mentimeter activates students to be more active (50% strongly agree, 40% agree) and freer to respond (55% strongly agree, 35% agree). Interactive features such as polling, word cloud, and anonymous Q&A were rated as engaging by 60% of students strongly agreeing and 30% agreeing. The application in understanding the material was strongly agreed by 45% and agreed upon by 38%, while 12% were neutral and 5% disagreed. Additionally, 58% strongly agreed and 32% agreed that Mentimeter should be adopted by other courses. This study confirms that Mentimeter is able to create a heightened interactive and engaging learning environment despite constraints such as overreliance on internet connectivity as well as educator preparedness.

Abstract

This research examines the instructional clarity of demonstration sports videos produced by first-semester students in the Department of Physical Education, Health, and Recreation at Universitas Negeri Makassar. Three major areas are researched: sentence construction, word choice, and verbal and motor synchrony. Data were gathered from 10 student videos, transcribed, and analyzed through qualitative-descriptive procedures. The results indicate that most of the students used correct imperative sentences, but others struggled to structure clear and coherent directions. On the vocabulary side, most of the students used correct sports terminology, but others went wrong by using too general or imprecise terms. Further, while generally successful synchronization of verbal instructions with movements, there were some instances that showed inconsistency between the issued commands and carried-out actions. These findings suggest that although students already possess basic instructional communication proficiency in English, there is a need for further training to enhance the instructional performance of their sports demonstrations.
