Abstract

Speaking skills are crucial in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL); however, many Indonesian students face challenges in fluency, vocabulary use, grammatical accuracy, pronunciation, and coherence due to limited exposure to authentic English. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of YouTube videos as a learning medium for improving students’ speaking skills. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) involving twelfth-grade students of the Interior Design major at SMK Negeri 4 Kupang. Conducted in two learning cycles, the instructional procedures involved watching English vlog videos, guided discussion of language expressions, paired speaking practice, and individual oral performance. The study utilized speaking tests consisting of a pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2, as well as classroom observation sheets. Students’ speaking performance was assessed based on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and coherence. The findings revealed consistent improvement across all speaking aspects. Students’ scores increased from 40–78 in the pre-test to 63–84 in post-test 1 and further to 72–92 in post-test 2. Classroom observations also indicated increased student engagement, confidence, and participation during speaking activities. These findings suggest that YouTube videos effectively enhance EFL students’ speaking skills while fostering an interactive and motivating learning environment.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan vokal siswa SMKN 4 Kupang melalui kegiatan paduan suara dengan lagu “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode drill dan demonstrasi. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, serta pre-test dan post-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan vokal yang signifikan. Nilai rata-rata siswa meningkat dari 5,27 menjadi 7,48, terutama pada aspek dinamika dan ketepatan nada. Metode drill efektif membentuk keterampilan teknis melalui latihan berulang, sedangkan metode demonstrasi membantu siswa memahami teknik vokal secara langsung.Dengan demikian, penerapan kedua metode tersebut tidak hanya meningkatkan kualitas vokal siswa, tetapi juga menumbuhkan kedisiplinan, kerja sama, dan kepercayaan diri dalam bernyanyi kelompok.
