The Implementation of Video Conference to Improve Students’ Speaking Skill

Abstract

People communicate their views through their words. It is a way for language users to exchange information. It could be difficult to explain topics to primary school students verbally. They speak with weak vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. In order to address these challenges, the teacher encourages the smartphone app to enhance speaking class. She established a WhatsApp group to serve as the media for the in-class exercise. Every student participated in it. The instructor asked the students to participate in a discussion and book-based activities in bilingual grammar. Then they found the book's transcription of the short story. To facilitate transcription and reading aloud, this kind of content was altered. As a means to conclude, the teacher offered each student a picture to discuss in a pair. As a method to conclude the lesson, the teacher gave each student a photo to discuss in a pair. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the data were done. It follows that using video conferences to improve communication skills is successful. It is advantageous for the teachers to incorporate it into lessons on related subjects. Deeper projects will be undertaken by the other researchers as a result.
