EFL Students’ Impression on Instagram-asissted Learning Speaking Video Project

Abstract

Learning English is important for students and it is hoped that English lessons will help students to have interactive communication skills. One of the teaching media used in the English speaking class is video project This research was conducted to determine EFL students' perceptions of the video assignment in the English speaking class. In order to determine students' perceptions of video assignments in their English speaking class, researchers conducted a qualitative descriptive case study. In this study, researchers used data analysis techniques based on Miles and Huberman (1994) quoted by Sugiyono (2014: 247-252) which included three steps: data reduction, data screen, and conclusion/verification. The results of the questionnaire showed that almost all students had a good perception of the video project. They think that the video assignment helps them to practice their English speaking skills. Through video assignments, students are motivated to give the best results. The results of the interview also showed that the video assignment helped students to realize the mistakes they made so that students could overcome mistakes to become better speakers. That means that video assignments are suitable to be applied in English classrooms.
