Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using video media to improve students’ skills for public speaking. Employing a mixed-method approach, the research involved 50 second-year nursing students from Universitas YPIB Majalengka, selected through purposive sampling. Quantitative data were obtained using pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate students’ speaking performance before and after the video-based intervention. Additionally, qualitative data were obtained through a close-ended questionnaire to explore students’ perceptions of using videos as a learning tool. The results of the paired t-test analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in students’ public speaking abilities, with the t-observed value (2.24) exceeding the t-critical value (2.015). Furthermore, the questionnaire responses indicated that approximately 80% of the participants responded positively to the use of videos, reporting increased motivation, confidence, and engagement. These findings suggest that video media, particularly authentic and inspirational video talks, can be an effective tool for developing public speaking skills among students. The study concludes with recommendations for institutions, teachers, and future researchers to further support and explore the integration of video-based instruction in language learning

Abstract

This study investigates the English learning needs of Informatics students to support their academic and professional development in the digital era. A mixed-method descriptive survey design was employed to collect data from 120 first- and second-year Informatics students at YPIB University of Majalengka. Data were gathered through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The questionnaire demonstrated high reliability, with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.87. The findings reveal that students prioritize reading skills, particularly for understanding programming documentation, technical textbooks, and academic references. Speaking skills, especially for job interviews, workplace communication, and academic presentations, are also perceived as essential for professional readiness. In addition, students heavily rely on English in digital learning environments such as online tutorials, instructional videos, and software documentation. However, major challenges were reported, including limited technical vocabulary and low confidence in speaking English. The study concludes that existing English courses for Informatics students require redesigning to incorporate discipline-specific and digital-era ESP components. These findings not only enrich ESP needs analysis literature in technology-related disciplines but also offer practical guidance for redesigning English curricula responsive to digital-era academic and industry demands
