THE IMPACT OF IMMERSIVE STRATEGY WITH ENGLISH VIDEO CLIPS ON EFL STUDENTS’ SPEAKING PERFORMANCE: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Summary/Abstract: This study aimed at investigating the effects of an immersive strategy using English video clips on students’ speaking performance. A quasi-experimental design was employed in this study. The study comprised 45 students; 23 in the experimental group (EG) class using English video clips and 22 in the alternative group (AG) class using English audio CD’s. All teaching materials used in this study were selected from YouTube. A pre-test and a post-test were implemented in each of the groups. Data were analyzed statistically using SPSS to obtain the mean, standard deviation, and undertake t-tests. The results showed that the students participating in the immersive strategy through English video clips group outperformed the students subjected to the immersive strategy through English audio. The findings have pedagogical impacts for EFL teachers, teacher trainees, practitioners and policy makers to employ English video clips to improve students’ speaking performance.
