2. This study aims at answering the following
research questions:
1. Is there a significant difference between
the mean scores of the pretest and the
posttest in speaking performance obtained
by the experimental group using vlogs?
2. How do the participants perceive the use
of vlogs after their experience?
Author's main questions
3. Central Argument
● Speaking as one of the most
challenging skill
● About ESL
● Problems in speaking class such
as limited time and large class
size
4. Theory drawn
by the author
Vlogging project positively and
perceived it as a student-friendly
learning tool which can also promote
self- evaluation and function as a
source of motivation. Therefore, ESL
teachers should consider the
pedagogical benefits of vlogs and
incorporate them as an instructional
technique in the language classrooms.

The application of SCMC and
ACMC in language learning
Vlogs video-based blogs (vlogs) is
considered one of the most phenomenal
applications in language education

Summary of the literature review
6. The Methods Employed
The mixed methods approach was used to
answer the research questions posed which
require the use of both quantitative and
qualitative methods (Creswell, 2018). A quasi
experimental design of one group pretest-
posttest (Fraenkel,Wallen & Hyun, 2015) was
utilised to determine the effects of vlogging
on the students’ speaking skills whereby the
independent variable was the vlogging project
and the speaking performance was the
dependent variable.
7. The Methodology Employed
● There are two aims of that study that forms as research
questions
● The participants comprised 73 Form 3 students (lower
secondary). The students’ English language proficiency
ranged from low to intermediate levels.The treatment in
this study comprised an eight week long vlogging project
● The design used in achieving the aims of the study is a
mixed-methods approach involving quasi-experiment and
retrospective self-report.
● The pretest and posttest mentioned above were the
instruments used in determining the effect of the
vlogging project. In the pre-test, students were asked to
speak individually on one topic assigned by the raters.
● The instruments of the study, a retrospective self-report
and a questionnaire, were used to examine how the
participants perceived the vlogging experience.
8. ● Results of the t-test indicated that
the increase was statistically
significant, t(73) = 9.143, p < .05. The
null hypothesis was thus rejected
and hence, the results showed that
the students had performed better
in their speaking test after going
through the vlogging project.
● Positive responses
strongly show that the
students are agreeable
to the points that vlogs
enable them to
improve their speaking
skills independently
Summary of The Findings
Effect of vlogging Perceptions towards vlogs
9. ● A majority of them (80.8%) are
willing to continue making vlogs
after the project.
Summary of The Findings
Perceptions
towards vlogs
● Another student who was
experiencing shyness expressed
her dislike of the vlogging
project, “I don’t like this vlog
because I must do recording at
public and I feel shy.”.
● They perceived the vlogs as
being helpful in showing their
strengths and weaknesses in
English (91.8%), and in
promoting self-reflection on
their English language learning
(86.3%)
● 98.6% of them agreed that the
project has increased their
willingness to speak in English
(98.6%) and that it allowed
them to talk about topics that
interest them (97.3%)
10. A good literature review must be relevant, up-to-date
(last three years), and sufficient. Then I found out that
the references in this article are not up-to-date, most of
them were taken from some journal articles which
published ten years ago. Despite the shortcoming, this
article is structured very well and the journals which
were cited were all relevant to the topic, it also discussed
something new in comparing with the previous related
literature.
Strength and Weakness
of The Article
11. Applied Course
Concept
There are some problems in terms of speaking, first is
the limited contact time and second is the large class
size. In this modern era, technology has become very
familiar with students and teachers. It becomes one of
medium in learning process. Due to the problems,
educational institute definitely can utilize technology
to solve the problems. The concept of vlogging to
enhance speaking skill for L2 can be applied in every
educational institute knowing that the students showed
significant positive results on their speaking post-test
after going through the vlogging project.
