Abstract

The improvement of students' speaking skills requires students to communicate with the interlocutors interactively. In the context of globalization, social media have become a medium of communication that can enhance students' speaking skills. The present study investigated what previous research had concluded on the use of YouTube videos to enhance the development of students' speaking skills by adapting George's (2008) model of library research into a qualitative design. The study revealed that YouTube videos had been proven to give better exposure to the students' speaking aspects like pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, intonation, grammar, and fluency. However, the use of YouTube videos also poses challenges, such as unstable internet connection, loss of interaction with peers and teachers, low comprehension of the videos, unsuitable length of videos, students’ low readiness and autonomy, and discrepancy between the videos and the language learning goals. These findings imply that while YouTube videos can be helpful learning tools, the right strategies need to cope with the challenges.

Abstract

Integration of technology in the teaching and learning process brings innovation where a learning process can be conducted virtually despite time and place boundaries. Online learning as the integration of learning and technology is used as the primary strategy to continue the teaching and learning process due to the Covid-19 outbreak. This study aims to analyze student perceptions of online learning before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The results showed that the students had negative and positive perceptions of online learning before and during the pandemic. Before the pandemic, the students emphasized exploring the materials, while the students emphasized flexibility in learning during the pandemic. Meanwhile, negative perceptions are shown through the loss of direct communication between teachers and students. During the pandemic, students emphasized the flexibility aspect of the online learning mode. However, negative perceptions also emerged, namely the abundance of online tasks and the difficulties of using e-learning. Various challenges of online learning were also found during the pandemic compared to before the outbreak. For example in addition to inadequate internet connections and gadgets, anxiety problems due to the workload and less appropriate learning plan also arose. It can be seen that online learning before and during the outbreak experienced dynamics, so teachers and students must be encouraged to be more adaptive in dealing with changes in their learning.
