They have no idea what their speaking counter is referring to and are also at a loss for what to say. Ten college students were recruited to participate in this study which involves modifying YouTube content in improving students' speaking skills to answer this problem. First, the teacher sets up a WhatsApp group utilized to replace the classroom. Next, the teacher shared a YouTube URL with the class, instructed the students to click and learn the material, then assigned them to study the audio and text on YouTube. The students then need to retell the story after finishing the assignment. They made a recording and shared it with the group. Last, the teacher gave feedback on the students' work. The screen activities were recorded and used as the data source for qualitative analysis. As a result, the students could tell the story clearly and concisely. Their confidence to tell the story rose as well. Other teachers can use these findings to teach speaking or related disciplines, and other scholars may be able to expand on them to produce more detailed results.]]>

Public speaking (berbicara didepan umum) merupakan cara untuk menyampaikan ide-ide yang ada kepada publik, membagikannya kepada orang lain, dan memengaruhi orang lain”. Keterampilan ini dianggap sebagai keterampilan penting yang membantu siswa untuk menjadi lebih fasih dan percaya diri dalam presentasi dan komunikasi. Mengingat pentingnya public speaking (berbicara disepan umum), tidak mengherankan bahwa keterampilan ini telah diajarkan dan dipelajari di seluruh dunia selama ribuan tahun. Dan bagi setiap individu, pasti ada strategi mereka sendiri untuk meningatkan keterampilan berbicara didepan umum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui atau menyelidiki strategi siswa EFL dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara di depan umum mereka. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian mini ini mengeksplorasi pengalaman dan perspektif siswa tentang proses peningkatan keterampilan berbicara di depan umum mereka. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan 4 siswa yang dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling. Analisis data menggunakan grounded theory menghasilkan temuan bahwa siswa EFL menggunakan berbagai strategi kognitif, efektif, dan sosial untuk mengatasi tantangan dalam berbicara di depan umum.

However, the use of English in oral communication in the classroom is often a challenge for students, especially in environments where English is not their mother tongue. This research aims to identify and analyze the way EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students use English in oral communication in the classroom and what they concern about. Through qualitative methods and data collection in the form of class observations and interviews, the subject of this research is an English education student. The research results show that the students’ focus is: grammar, pronunciation, and listening. This research provides important insights for educators in designing teaching strategies that support students’ oral communication skills in EFL learning environments. By creating a learning environment that supports and encourages students to actively speak English, it is hoped that their oral communication skills can develop significantly.]]>
