Abstract

The present study highlighted the importance of pre-service teachers’ teaching competences in English Language Teaching (ELT). Facts show that empowering pre-service teachers is very important, but inspiring lecturers to implement a suitable teaching model takes time. Thus, this study aimed to determine how student-teacher conferences and video-recorded microteaching sessions (VRMS) affected pre-service teachers’ competences. Besides, the self-reflection of the pre-service teachers after watching their own teaching performance video and the conference with the lecturer was also investigated to see their behaviors towards their teaching performances. This mixed-method study involved one group and applied three main instruments to collect data: interviews (student-teacher conferences), checklists of teacher self-evaluation forms, and teaching practicum performance tests using a scoring rubric adapted from Brown (2000). There were 20 participants who were taking the Microteaching Course at the Department of English Education, Universitas Syiah Kuala, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The study was conducted in one consecutive semester consisting of 16 meetings, each of which was 200 minutes long (4 credits). The results proved that student-teacher conferences and VRMS stimulated pre-service teachers’ teaching competences. Pre-service teachers grew their self-reflection after watching their own teaching videos and understood their strengths and weaknesses after getting student-teacher conferences. It implies that the improvement of their teaching competences resulted from a process involving the willingness to do self-reflection and the lecturer’s help in understanding what areas the pre-service teachers had to improve. The implications of the study are also presented and discussed in this paper.

The Classroom Action research (CAR) proposed by Kemmis and Taggart was applied. This research is qualitative research with 30 students of class XI MIPA of SMAN 12 Banda Aceh as research subjects. In collecting the data, a writing test and observation checklist were used. The pre-test and post-test were given to find out the students' writing ability before and after the treatment given. The data revealed that the mean score of post test 1 and post test 2 were higher than pre test. It was gradually increased from 62,70 to 73,30 in post test 1, and 78,80 in post test 2. This indicates that there was a significant improvement in students' writing ability after implementing YouTube videos as media to teach writing explanation text. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of YouTube videos can improve students' ability in writing explanation text at XI MIPA 1 SMA Negeri 12 Banda Aceh. It is suggested to other researchers to conduct further research related to the use of YouTube videos not only for writing, but also for reading, speaking, and listening.
