Video Recording to Reflect the Speaking Performance

Abstract

Abstract-This study aims to increase the students' confidence in delivering speech by recording their speaking performance. Students in this research have problems in performing speaking confidently, they always look nervous and unprepared unless they have made good preparation they write on a long script. This study investigates wether the video recording can arise the students' confidence in performing one minute speaking. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach by video-recording the students' performance, then synthesize, summarize and inteprete. The result showed that all of the students could increase their confidence through reflecting their own performance from the performance they had already recorded. The reflection is seen from the changing of speaking behavior. The students could perform with better and appropriate gestures, smiles, and expression at the next performance. They could also develop their performance without looking at the whole script but only the outline. The video such reflects the students' performance that made their confidence increased significantly. The implication of this finding helps the students to perform not only in speaking lecture, but also others which allow them to use their spoken activities.
