In today’s digital era, learning English is not only from textbooks or traditional classes. This study explores how making educational vlogs can help non-English students, especially D3 Informatics, to improve their speaking skills. Using a qualitative case study, the research investigates students’ perceptions and evaluates the use of vlogging focusing on effective and creative media, impact on speaking skills, motivation and enjoyment, teacher and peer support, suggestions for improvement, and challenges. Data were collected from interviews with 5 (five) students chosen from 20 (twenty) participants, using purposive sampling based on the rank of the students. The results show that students have very positive perceptions. They see vlog creation as creative, modern, and more interesting than usual speaking practice. By making vlogs, students prepare scripts, choose words carefully, and practice pronunciation, which helps them speak more fluently and with more confidence. Students also feel more motivated because vlog making is like a real-life project, so it is more enjoyable and meaningful. Support from teachers and friends is also very important. Teachers give topic ideas, help with pronunciation, and give feedback. Friends help by giving suggestions and helping with editing. Even though students face some problems, like nervousness, limited vocabulary, and technical issues, they believe these are normal parts of learning. In conclusion, students believe educational vlog creation is a useful and fun way to practice speaking. It is not only helps them speak better but also improves creativity, digital skills, and teamwork.
