Abstract: .Vlog is being a popular media in nowadays, and also in globalization era media can bring an influence.
This study aims to know how students can improve their speaking skills by using vlog and this study was
applied at one of Junior High School in Bandung, Indonesia. This study is used a quantitative method and
pre- experimental study that the sample is only one group which is consist of 40 students in the class.
Firstly, the pre-test was given to the student. The students in a group were tested by giving them pictures
that should be described by their own words through speaking. Secondly, the treatment has given for 3
meetings. The vlog was sawn as their media to help them in speaking skills. Finally, students were given
the same test of speaking skills to check the effectiveness of this media to help students in speaking skills at
the end of the meeting. The result showed that there was statistically significant between pre-test and post-
test through exposed by using vlog in the treatment section. It can be concluded that vlog which given to
the subjects of speaking skills is significantly improved.
1 INTRODUCTION
In globalization era, media can bring a big influence
on education. Many types of media such as audio,
visual, and audio visual (video), they can help
teacher and student to reach the goals in teaching-
learning, besides, they can make the student excited
in learning. In teaching learning of speaking media
will be helpful to determine a speech, according to
Cakır (2006) many media and many styles of visual
presentation are useful to the language learner. It
means that audio-visual material is useful and has a
positive impact on language in the learning process
as long as it is used in the right path. A motivation
can be given to students and can be stimulated by
using of media as a bridge or example to make them
understand in speaking.
The video is one of the media which consist of
audio and also visual for students to listen and see. It
also can shows the expression and body language,
during hearing and seeing on the video, students can
know the rhythm, intonation, and stress of the
language, and video one of instructional media is so
close to language. According to Harmer (2001)
using of videotape has been studied of teaching a
language for many years. Some researchers have
recognized the power of audio-visual material to
capture the learners’ attention, to increase their
motivation and also to enhance their learning
experience. A video is so close to language, by
expose video helps students learn the real language
in a different context where it comes naturally
Harmer, 2001). On the other hand, it closely relates
to learners’ need and provides a link between the
classroom and student’s need in the real world.
Nowadays, the evaluation of media had grown
quickly, it happened because the development of
technology which supported media to creates
innovations of media’s kind, so that is why the
writer used vlog (video blogging) as a media that
vlog is one of variation in the social networking
site’s blog, it is more interesting than a blog which
has a textual genre. On the other hand, vlog brings a
new revolution in the media usage, it can show
visual expression available in video (audiovisual).
As we know that blog (online diary) that is loaded
with the posts that can be used to share information
in media to a user on a web page. So that is why this
research should be conducted based on development

on technology in nowadays to make students more
interested to learn something.
Nowadays, the pervious study of vlog has
investigated such as “A survey of video blogging”
that has been studied from (Gao et al., 2010b),
reveals that differences among IPTV, internet
video, and vlogging service, Gao, and friends
talk about how is vlog itself and also comparing
with others kind. “Vocabulary learning and
Vlogging” has studied by Gustafsson (2016) this
previous studied an exploratory study of vocabulary
learning by using vlogging and compared with
orthodox written exercises, and talked about how
videoblogging can impact in education who
teachers can be videoblogger and students too, they
can make a product that has variety of content is in
videoblogging, especially in students, they can
improve their ability in speech to promote
something, telling about their activity, explain
how to make something and else.
So that is why this research chose to analyze the
same thing with the previous studies, it is about
vlog but in the different case that vlog can influent
to speaking skills or no, and how the impact of
watching vlog to improve student speaking skills.
Vlog is like being an interested thing among
different field of study, and vlog also matches with
multimedia computing machine learning, data
mining, retrieval and human-computer
interaction, on the other hand, it can be a new
application in the future. vlog such as advertising
will brings new opportunities and driving forces to
the research in related fields.
Therefore this research was made to find out the
influence of using vlog on students’ speaking skills
also trying to find new of media that is happening in
nowadays as a helper students in speaking skills, and
the writer believes that a new thing will bring an
influence to the something.
2 SPEAKING SKILLS
Skill is an ability that has a capacity which getting
through deliberate, systematic, and sustained in
doing something. Speaking skills is the ability of the
action to make sounds, or expressing the ideas and
feeling through the language by speech. According
to Mustikawati (2013) meanwhile, speaking is an
ability for a learner in through the process of
socializing in communication. Therefore, speaking
skills are more important than other skills. Speaking
can deliver a message from the speaker to the
listener to be understood. Moreover, speaking is the
activity that can make someone more understandable
in communication, because people can show their
meaning through the speech.
According to Cameron (2001), speaking is
the one skill which active use of language to express
meaning so that speaking is more demanding than
other skills. It means that in speaking activities
should be added supports for the production of
speech, not just give support for understanding the
meaning.
Speaking is part of activity life that can take it
for granted (Thornbury, 2005). So when someone
begins to speak it means they know the language
since they speak, they also know the production of
speech from what they have said in a speech and it is
obvious to know that speaking is an important thing
to make communication with others. People can
express their ideas through speaking to make other
people understand each other. Speaking skills also
are demanding skills who should develop in
communication that can be understood well.
2.1 The Importance of Speaking
Speaking skills are notable part of the curriculum in
language teaching, and it makes them an important
object of assessment as well (Luoma, 2008). It
means that language ability can be seen from
language skills. And people in nowadays often to
judge someone who can be good speaker by their
language skills; how does someone speak well in
their language. Most people are wanted to be a good
speaker or have a good speaking. Sometimes they
show their speaking skills and the purpose is to
influence others to do the same like them that seems
great to improve speaking skills in another person.
According to Moreover, Ramelan’s study (as
cited in Hibarrad & Bastidas, 2014) people who
living everywhere, they often speak using by
language, although they do not have any writing
system to record their language. So the capability of
speaking can be measured if a foreign learner is
successful in learning speaking or no, but in
dominating speaking skills can be shown not only
from their performance when speak out, also we
have to see it from another aspect like competence in
using language itself.
All above descriptions tell that speaking is
important in life, where people can deliver their
ideas, information, or others. Speaking can deliver
message verbally to make whole the process of
transferring something easily to a social
environment.

2.2 The Problems of Speaking Skills
In learning speaking, students as an object to
receive the knowledge have some problems in
speaking skills. According to Brown (2000),
there are five problems in speaking skills, as
follows:
Native language
It is an influential factor for a learner’s
speaking. “If you are familiar with the sound
system of learner’s native language, you will be
better able to diagnose student difficulties. Many
L1-L2 carryovers can be overcome through a
focused awareness and effort on the learner’s part.”
2.2.1 Age
In general, the problem of speaking is the age
factor. Children's skills acquire speaking skills
faster than an adult.
2.2.2 Exposure
The exposure about speaking should be given
details to students before the teacher teaches, and
the class should be focused on speaking skills so
that the students draw their attention and interest.
2.2.3 Innate Phonetic Ability
Actually, the ear can be a tool for language to listen
what the speaker said. People manifest a phonetic
coding ability that others can help in speaking skills.
Identity and language ego
The others factor problem is identity and
individual's ego. Identity as a human is an attitude
toward speakers/listeners of the target language and
should be better in controlling each ego, like
intonation.
2.2.4 Motivation
It is an important thing in learning to speak,
students will be lazy to speak if they do not have a
motivation and concern for high attention.
2.3 Teaching Speaking Techniques
Teaching speaking techniques are important for the
teachers who teach their students, to know what the
steps to achieve the goals in speaking are.
According to Brown (2007), speaking teaching
technique is a way which focuses on the use of
language for meaningful in the communication.
On the other hand, the technique is a way to takes
place or steps as a bridge in language teaching in
the classroom. According to Brown (2007), there
are seven points principle of designing speaking
techniques;
2.3.1 The Technique
It is used as the wrapper spectrum of a learner needs,
from the language based focus on accuracy to
message-based focus on interaction, meaning, and
fluency.
2.3.2 Motivation Technique
It can appeal student’s interests and goals to their
need for knowledge, and for achieving competence.
2.3.3 The Authentic Language
It can be used to encourage language in meaningful
context. Use original language in meaningful
contexts and interaction to motivate the students in
learning the target language.
2.3.4 Feedback and Correction
It is used to provide the appropriateness. Using the
kinds of corrective can be a feedback that is
appropriated for the moment in a learning process.
2.3.5 The Natural Relationship between
Speaking and Listening
There is the natural relationship between
speaking and listening; Speaking and listening
cannot separate each other, they are correlated to
achieving the goals in speaking skills or listening.
Skills in producing language are often initiated
through comprehension.
2.3.6 Oral Communication
Oral communication can give students
opportunities to initiate their speech orally. A good
typical classroom interaction is characterized by
teacher initiation of language. We ask the question,
give direction, and provide information, and
students have been conditioned only to "speak when
spoken to".

2.3.7 The Development of Speaking
Strategies
The development of speaking strategies; Students
have a chance to practice such strategies like asking
for clarification, confirming and understanding the
English language.
That has explained that the techniques of
teaching speaking are used to push students to speak
and get the value of target language. The teacher
can be a model to explain or demonstrate of
speaking materials for their students, and every
technique has a different usage. All the techniques
are important to help student and teacher achieving
the goals of teaching-learning in the target language.
2.4 Speaking Assesement
This section will explain about the speaking
assessment that each assessment has criteria to be
explained, this is speaking assessment that will be
used in the observation as follows:
According to Hornby (1995), pronunciation
is the way to speak, and the way in which words are
pronounced. It means that pronunciation is the
important point in language to speak.
2.4.1 Grammar
Grammar is the system and structure of language.
Grammar and pronunciation are correlated each
other that grammar should be filled by the
knowledge into words order inflection and
derivation into the other meaningful features of the
English language.
2.4.2 Vocabulary
Vocabulary is an array of words known or used by
a person in trade, profession, etc. If someone
has many vocabularies, it will be easier for him
to express his idea (Hornby, 1995)
2.4.3 Fluency
Fluency as the quality of being able to speak
smoothly and easily, it means that someone can
speak without any indecision, and someone can
speak fluently even though he or she makes errors
in pronunciation and grammar.
2.4.4 Comprehension
The production and comprehension of language are
a factor of our ability to perceive and process
stretches of discourse, to formulate
representations of meaning not just from a single
sentence but from referents in both previous
sentences and following sentences. It means that
comprehension is being understandable in
something that someone during learning
something.
3 VIDEO
A video is the one of technology where there are
capturing, recording, processing, transmitting
reconstructing a sequence of the image
representing scenes in motion and can fill the
sounds is in it. The video is like a tool which that
can record the picture and the audio to be one.
According to Alanferdika (2014) video is the
display of recorded the pictures on the television-
type screen. In media format that added a cathode-
ray screen to present an audio and pictures can be
referred to a video.
Furthermore, Video is a valuable learning tool
widely available in educational institutions
(Capsuto, 2000). In addition, Sowntharya et al.
(2014), said audio visual Media, especially
videos are definitely acknowledged as one of the
most effective tools in education and training. It
means that video can be as a media of audio-
visual effects in teaching learning.
Students should have an opportunity to watch
the video in or out of the classroom; it can make
them feel so interested in the learning process.
They have to increase their ability in speaking
through imitating is in the video. According to
Russell, James, & Sharon (2004) that teachers can
use video to introduce a topic of the study, to
present content, to provide remediation, and to
promote enrichment and etc. So, video have many
purposes is in the video in teaching-learning, it
depends on the teachers to choose one of the
varieties that the teachers need to deliver they
material for their students. Furthermore, Berk
(2009) states that the contiguous presentation by
using the verbal and visual technique as in videos
with integrated dialogue and narration is better for
novices and visual learners.
In the other hand, the examples of the
media platforms the younger generation use is
YouTube, to share and stream videos. Base on the
statement above, this is one line impact that
teacher could use to attract and to improve their
students’ skill of learning English especially
speaking. One of video on YouTube that can be

used in teaching learning is a vlog.
3.1 Vlog
Vlog is becoming a popular activity in the video
nowadays as described by (Snelson, 2013).
According to Mogallapu (2011) video blog (vlog) is
the new thing of blogs form which has received
increased attention over the years. Blogs have built
of the textual genre of personal publishing, but
in nowadays it develops to be visual genre
expression like vlog that adaptation in audio-visual
was developed by Gao et al. (2010). It is supported
by Gao et al. (2010) that combining of the
ubiquitous, grassroots blogging with the richness of
expression available in video, video blogs that will
be an important thing in a future world of Web-
based journalism and as a powerful new media
adjunct to our existing televised news sources.
Vlog has brought a new revolution in
multimedia usage. It means that vlog can be the
interesting thing for the students to learn. The
student can see is in the vlog from vlogger that
made vlog from their speech, see how do they speak
well, intonation, expression, articulation and else. It
all can be a thing that is an example for the
students, because is in the vlog someone always
talks as depend as their varieties such as they made
about daily life, how to make something,
advertisement, etc.
According to Snelson (2013) “vlog for a variety
of reasons, including the desire to alleviate
boredom, vlogging for fun, because friends were
doing it, to build confidence or improve their
speaking skills, to document their experiences,
share information, or connect with others.”
3.2 Teaching Speaking with Vlog
According to Harmer (2007), the purposes of video-
based activities is can be used in a video-based
lesson. Vlog is the latest technologies which
can open new ways of communication through
public- created media. When vlogs began as a new
technology and is a trend on the internet today.
It has different content such as diary life,
advertisement, procedural (how to make something)
and etc.
Russell et al. (2004) said that "the trend today is
delivery of video media as short, concise segments
that teacher can assemble in a variety of ways to
support a variety of utilization scenarios".
Moreover, Richard & Renandya (2002) state that it
is better to exposed a short (3-5 minutes) size of the
segment of video thoroughly and systematically
rather than playing with a long sequence which is
likely shown in less active viewing on the part of
your students. It means that vlog is appropriate for
teaching-learning. Supported by Richard &
Renandya (2002) in teaching-learning using video
that there are some ways to help the teacher teach
or planning video lesson effectively and exploit
the video to be effective, as follow:
Guiding the students to use video; toward
appreciating video as a language learning tool in
learning something. Teachers should to lead their
students to an appreciation of video as a
valuable tool for language learning. It can help
them to view skills which they can apply as in the
video.
Making the video as an intact part of the course;
Video with the right content potentially in language
learning is achieved when it is used as an
integral part in the course, beside, on the other ways
is to introduce or expose a theme or topic that is
already being part of the curriculum that is has
been deal with the textbook in the school.
Using short sequences of video; it is difficult to
specify an exact sequence length without
identifying a particular video sequence. It is better
to exploit a short (three until five minutes) of
video’s time, video thoroughly and systematically
rather than to play a long sequence which is likely
to result in less active viewing on the part of the
students, because if the teacher gives a long
sequences, students will be bored in teaching
learning in the class.
Introducing ourselves to the material; treat the
video material as seriously as any other language
teaching material. The teacher has to learn the
materials before presenting or expose it in the
classroom.
Treating the video as both a visual and an audio
text; it means when during planning the lessons, it
is important to allow the video’s script, and also the
video sounds that can make the video is ready and
clear to give to the students.
Designing lessons that provide opportunities for
repeated viewing; the video should be repeated
often because once is not enough to remember, not
all of the students are getting understood so fast.
Native levels of language proficiency also must be
considered, because the students will see and hear a
sound of the video.
Planning activity for three stages; teachers can
promote an active viewing and increase students'
comprehension and recall by planning video-related
lessons for three stages of Activities: previewing,

viewing, and post-viewing.
The ways of the used of the video has been
explained, it means that there are seven ways to
make the teacher teach easily when they use video
as a learning media in delivering the material or the
message that the teacher will give to the
students. The material is in the vlog, the
vlogger actually might talk more and describe what
the activities they are doing, because vlog is like the
presentation style video, where someone who makes
it has to talk more and explain what is in the video
they record.
4 METHODOLOGY
4.1 Design
According to Creswell (2012), a quantitative
method involves the collection of numerical data
which is obtained from test, questioners,
checklist, and survey. The researcher uses a
quantitative method to know the influence of using
vlog to improve students’ speaking skills, and
this study has one class for collecting data by pre-
test and post-test. This research used a quantitative
method and a pre- experimental design. As
Sugiyono (2009) described in this pre-experimental
design especially in one- group pretest-posttest,
one class has an accurate result because there is a
comparison of the condition before and after giving
the treatment.
4.2 Paricipant
The participant’s population is the student of one
junior high school at 9th grade in Bandung. Every
class has the average amount 40 students.
According to Creswell (2012), a population is a
group of individuals who have the same
characteristic. The writer chooses the 9th grade
of one junior high school in Bandung. The other
hand that population is the individuals or units are
in the one group, there is not available data for all
individuals in a population (Hanlon & Larget,
2011). It supported by Arikunto (2010) if a
population is more than 100 the sample in between
10% until 15% or 20% until 25%, and if the sample
less more than 100 the population may be chosen
all.
4.3 Instruments
4.3.1 Validity of Test
The validity of the test is the extent to measure the
instrument than it can be used or no by Adefioye
(2015). It explained that before the instruments
tested to the object of observation, it should be a
measure that the instrument is measure through
tested it to the other objects. Validity test was tested
in the different class but the same grade to knowing
that the instrument is measure to be used.
4.3.2 Pretest, Treatment, and Post-test
In the process of instruments, there are three steps
after validity has done. The pre-test was given
to reveal the students' speaking skills before giving
treatment. The purpose of pre-test is to know the
condition of the score before the students get the
treatment. The researcher will give some pictures to
the students then she instructs them to choose one of
the pictures and describe it orally. The
treatment gave some vlog. This process of teaching
with vlog should be exposed in the several times, so
that the students can understand the content of vlog,
can imitate how to pronoun words well, good
grammar and else. The last one is post-test. A post-
test is a measure of some attribute or characteristic
that is accessed for participants in experimental
after treatment (Creswell, 2012). Post-test was
given a result after students have been given the
treatment in the teaching-learning process. The
researcher gave some vlog to students then she
instructed them to choose one of vlog and describe
it orally. The result will be seen before and after
taught using vlog in experimental class to improve
students’ speaking skills.
4.4 Data Analysis
This research used the pre-test and post-test to
analyze the effect of vlog to improve students'
speaking skills before and after exposed with a
vlog. The process of analysis data is conducted after
all research data is collected which involve several
statistical processes, According to Subana (2000)
there are formulas to count the normality of data as
below:
4.4.1 Determining the Normality of Pre-test
and Post-test Data
IF (x2 count) < (x2 table), this data is normal
IF (x2 count) > (x2 table), this data is not normal

were given. In posttest, the students were given
some vlogs. The have to choose one of three vlogs
to be described as a presentation material in
descriptive context. Then, they describe it orally
and individually.
5.2 The Result of Hypothesis Test

In determining hypothesis by using a t-test, if
count< table, it can be interpreted that H0 is
accepted and Ha is rejected. Whereas, if count > t
table, it can be interpreted that H0 is rejected and
Ha is accepted. Based on the calculation, ttable on
significance 5% with df = 82 is 1.99, while count

is 20.39. It means that count (20.39) > ttable
(1.99). It can be concluded that H0 is rejected
and Ha is accepted. In other words, there is a
statistically significant improvement in students'
score in speaking skills.
5.3 The Result of the Gain Score
Table 5: Result of Gain Score
No Aspect Score
1 Experimental Group 0.56
Based on the table, index gain score is 0.56. It
means that the score is between 0.30–0.70 (0.30<
056<0.70) with medium category. Therefore,
the improvement of the students speaking skill
using vlog is in the medium category.
6 CONCLUSION
There is significance difference improvement when
the students were given the treatment of using vlog
to improve their speaking skills. This session is
determined by the improvement of students'
speaking skills after treatment by testing the index
gain. Testing the index gain has been analyzed
before. Based on the analysis, index gain score is
0.36. It is located between 0.31 – 0.70 with the
medium category. So, the improvement of students'
speaking skills using vlog is medium.
In this conclusion, after conducting the
research,
the observer concluded that vlog is an important
media to help students in teaching learning process,
especially in teaching speaking. It has proved by the
statistical data explained above that the vlog can
improve students' speaking skills with the medium
category in its improvement.
In addition, the use of vlog as a media is
effective to improve students speaking skills, by
using vlog students feel comfortable because they
saw the real activity that the vlogger exposed in their
personal journal. Besides the students as a viewer
can get benefits such as vocabularies, pronunciation,
expression, and else. Students can be able to imitate
how to say something in the foreign language
through exposed vlog. It made students more
interested than watch other videos because the
vloggers showed the real activity which the video
was edited by added emotions, made sequences part
of activities, music, so that students do not get bored
during vlog was playing. Another conclusion for the
future researcher is to make a vlog as a product that
can make students can be involved directly in
making the vlog and we can see in the students'
development of their speaking skills.
