This research employed quasi experimental design. The population of this research was the second semester students of English Department of IAIN Bone in academic year 2018/2019. This research used random sampling. The sample of this research consisted of 40 students that belong to two groups; 20 students in control group and 20 students in experimental group. The data on the students’ speaking skill dealing with the three criteria in assessing speaking test namely accuracy, fluency and comprehensibility were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of SPSS 20 windows program, and the data form questionnaire on the students ‘perception were analyzed by using Likert scale rom questionnaire. The students’ result of posttest of experimental group is significantly enhanced than the students’ result of posttest of control group by the mean score 68.06 > 58.24. The difference of both scores is statistically significant based on the t-test value at significant level 0.05 in which the probability value is lower than the significant level (0.00 < 0.05).

  • EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning
    Language Learning & Technology September 2005, Volume 9, Number 3 http://llt.msu.edu/vol9num3/emerging/ pp. 9-12 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University New technologies, or new uses of existing technologies, continue to provide unique opportunities for language learning. This is in particular the case for several new network options for oral language practice. Both Skype and podcasting can be considered "disruptive technologies" in that they allow for new and different ways of doing familiar tasks, and in the process, may threaten traditional industries. Skype, the "people's telephone," is a free, Internet-based alternative to commercial phone service, while podcasting, the "radio for the people," provides a "narrowcasting" version of broadcast media. Both have sparked intense interest and have large numbers of users, although it is too soon to toll the bell for telephone companies and the radio industry. Skype and podcasting have had a political aspect to their embrace by early adopters -- a way of democratizing institutions -- but as they reach the mainstream, that is likely to become less important than the low cost and convenience the technologies offer. Both technologies offer intriguing opportunities for language professionals and learners, as they provide additional channels for oral communication. Skype and Internet Telephony Skype is a software product which provides telephone service through VoIP (Voice over IP), allowing your personal computer to act like a telephone. A microphone attached to the computer is necessary and headphones are desirable (to prevent echoes of the voice of your conversation partner). It is not the only such tool, nor the first, but because it provides good quality (through highly efficient compression) and is free, it has become widely used.

  • Vlogging the Museum: Youtube As a Tool for Audience Engagement
    Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2014 Committee: Kris Morrissey Scott Magelssen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Museology ©Copyright 2014 Amanda Dearolph Abstract Vlogging the Museum: YouTube as a tool for audience engagement Amanda Dearolph Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Kris Morrissey, Director Museology Each month more than a billion individual users visit YouTube watching over 6 billion hours of video, giving this platform access to more people than most cable networks. The goal of this study is to describe how museums are taking advantage of YouTube as a tool for audience engagement. Three museum YouTube channels were chosen for analysis: the San Francisco Zoo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Field Museum of Natural History. To be included the channel had to create content specifically for YouTube and they were chosen to represent a variety of institutions. Using these three case studies this research focuses on describing the content in terms of its subject matter and alignment with the common practices of YouTube as well as analyzing the level of engagement of these channels achieved based on a series of key performance indicators. This was accomplished with a statistical and content analysis of each channels’ five most viewed videos. The research suggests that content that follows the characteristics and culture of YouTube results in a higher number of views, subscriptions, likes, and comments indicating a higher level of engagement. This also results in a more stable and consistent viewership.

  • Categorising Youtube Thomas Mosebo Simonsen
    MedieKultur | Journal of media and communication research | ISSN 1901-9726 Article Categorising YouTube Thomas Mosebo Simonsen MedieKultur 2011, 51, 72-93 Published by SMID | Society of Media researchers In Denmark | www.smid.dk The online version of this text can be found open access at www.mediekultur.dk This article provides a genre analytical approach to creating a typology of the User Generated Content (UGC) of YouTube. The article investigates the construction of navi- gation processes on the YouTube website. It suggests a pragmatic genre approach that is expanded through a focus on YouTube’s technological affordances. Through an analy- sis of the different pragmatic contexts of YouTube, it is argued that a taxonomic under- standing of YouTube must be analysed in regards to the vacillation of a user-driven bottom-up folksonomy and a hierarchical browsing system that emphasises a culture of competition and which favours the already popular content of YouTube. With this taxonomic approach, the UGC videos are registered and analysed in terms of empirically based observations. The article identifies various UGC categories and their principal characteristics. Furthermore, general tendencies of the UGC within the interacting relationship of new and old genres are discussed. It is argued that the utility of a conventional categorical system is primarily of analytical and theoretical interest rather than as a practical instrument. Introduction One significant reason for the popularity of YouTube and the emergence of User Generated Content (UGC) is the site’s accessibility (Lister et al., 2009, p. 227).
