Turnitin version: The Impact of Immersive Strategy with English Video Clips on EFL Students' speaking Performance: An Empirical Study at Senior High School

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.
