Hopefully, you all can understand what it said, and if you don't, you could find it on google or whatever will help you.😄

In today's post, I will be continuing to review the journal article entitled "Use of YouTube-Based Videos to Improve Students’ Speaking Skill" by Diki Riswandi.  I'm going to finish my review through this journal, and it is time for me to review the discussion and the conclusion of the journal. Without any further, let's check this one out! 

DISCUSSION

           The use of YouTube-based videos in teaching speaking was designed to make the students motivated and not bored in following the class. To allow students work in groups in doing the tasks also the supported point which makes the students active in the class. In addition, YouTube-based videos also help the student learn about speaking in terms of the way of speaking (fluency), vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and content of what to speak. After getting the information from the video, the students get an idea to speak. Further, discussing with their group lets each student have an opportunity to give and  share information orally to the group’s members. At this time intensive and extensive speaking performances unconsciously are done by the students. The success of the teaching of speaking is determined by some factors, one of which is the types of media used by the teacher in the class. The use of YouTube videos could be an alternative since it provides materials for speaking class freely and easily. The various topics and frequencies of speaking using supporting media such as YouTube can help the students to improve their speaking achievement. The involvement of the students in the speaking class was clearly shown from their active participation during the teaching and learning the process.

CONCLUSION

           Based on the research findings conducted in this study, it could be concluded that the implementation of YouTube-based videos in teaching speaking can improve the students’ speaking skills and motivation. This improvement is proven by the students’ speaking achievement and the score gained. The score of the speaking test has fulfilled  the criteria of success. In addition, the students actively involved in learning activities and had high motivation toward the use of YouTube-based videos in the speaking class. The nature of the video, which provides picture and audio at the same time, is able to help the students train their pronunciation, enrich their vocabulary, and make them easier to find an idea in producing sentences while speaking. The students can get informationfaster and feel more confident in dealing with the lesson as they not only depend on their  speaking skills but also on their comprehension. In addition, watching videos also unconsciously help the students learn grammar in an automatic way. The students got the input so well from the speakers, who are mostly native English, in YouTube-based videos. The more students watch the video also help them to easily practice their own speaking, thus it helps the student improve their fluency in speaking. There is a large amount of videos on YouTube that can be downloaded freely as teaching source. It can be the source of teaching for the teacher as the authentic materials. Therefore, following up the conclusion, some suggestions are proposed to the English  teachers/lecturers, schools, and further researchers. First, the suggestion is for the English teachers, especially to those who teach English speaking class. For the researcher has shown that the use of YouTube-based videos can improve the students' speaking skill,English teachers are highly suggested to use YouTube-based videos as the authentic materials. The teacher can use YouTube in offline mode or if it is possible in online mode would be much better. The duration of videos playing and the content of the should be appropriate to the students' level, for that the teacher has to carefully chose them.  Second, the suggestion is for school. The school is expected to support the teachers in utilizing the technology such as YouTube, for instance by providing good internet connection in the school. The last, for the further researcher, it is expected to study more about the advantage and disadvantage of using YouTube-based videos.

       And that's all the final review of this research study, all we can learn about it provisionally is that the Use of YouTube-based videos in teaching speaking provides that YouTube-based videos  are greatly effective in the language classroom for a number of ends. It has been shown that video can be exploited in the English classroom to enhance students’ critical thinking skills, their recognition of pragmatic usage and fluency, and to improve comprehension-based learning.
