Abstract

Abstract A few studies have investigated Zoom application for EFL speaking practice during this covid-19 outbreak. Still, there are minimal studies that compare speaking practice assisted by Zoom with face-to-face speaking practice. Thus, this study aimed to find out students’ preference of face-to-face speaking practice compared with Zoom-assisted speaking practice and the suggestions to meet the ideal speaking practice during the Covid-19 outbreak. The research method employed in this study was descriptive qualitative research in which it used open-ended questionnaires to gather data. The results showed that 61% of the students liked face-to-face speaking practice due to social interaction, the more comfortable atmosphere, practicality (no time constraint and no internet connection issue), and support for self-improvement (improving confidence, getting more knowledge, and easier to understand). Furthermore, some suggestions related to Zoom-assisted speaking practice were to make it shorter, be on time, and give more variation on discussion topics. In summary, face-to-face speaking practice is more preferred than Zoom-assisted speaking practice. Moreover, the suggestions to meet the ideal speaking practice during the covid-19 outbreak include Zoom with some class regulations that can save more internet data and make it more exciting.

Abstract

Teaching English to students with special needs has been a concern in Indonesia. However, there were still some limitations in the practice of teaching and learning in class. Thus, this research tried to portray the use of YouTube to improve the quality of English learning outside the classroom. This research attempted to depict YouTube's use to assist autonomous deaf learners in mastering English as a foreign language. This research utilized case study research and thematic data analyses. The subject of the research was one autonomous deaf English learner. The data collecting technique was a written interview through an online chat application. The first result of the research pointed out that there were four learning manners of the autonomous deaf learner in optimizing the English learning process through YouTube, namely using the caption feature, backward feature, comment section, and google translate to learn more about English. The second result revealed that the autonomous deaf English learner obtained three insights from the learning process through YouTube: grammar knowledge, vocabulary, and general knowledge, particularly about knitting. Finally, it may be concluded that the YouTube features that served captions, backward buttons, and comment sections became the paramount factors for supporting the learning autonomy of the deaf learner in mastering English as a foreign language.
