Using Audio Visual Material to Enhance Students’ Speaking Skills

Abstract

The objective of the research was to find out whether or not using audio-visual-material enhances students ‘speaking kills. The samples were divided into two groups: A as a control group and B as an experimental group. This research employed Quasi Experimental Method (two group pre-test and post-test design). Data of the research were collected by using speaking test to find out whether audio-visual-materials had significant impact to students’ speaking skills. The data collected were then analysed by using t-test. The result of data analysis showed that the score of experimental group on the post-test was higher than on the pre-test. It showed significant improvement after the treatment. It means the use of audio-visual-materials especially video were interesting materials for students and it could gain students’ curiosity and could also explore their ideas in the class interaction.
