1.6 Significance of the Study
The result of this research can contribute some benefits to the readers:
1 Teacher I hope that teacher can use audio visual aids, especially conversation
videos, in every possible situation so that students can learn how to speak by seeing the real model of conversation to be done. This can
give ease to the teacher since this method applied less teacher talk and more explanation from the video which could be accepted easily to the
students. 2 Students
Students nowadays are audio visual learners, which means students will more understand the material if they listen and watch the real
application of the material. By using audio visual aid, especially conversation video, in teaching speaking, students can get the real
model of conversation so that they can learn how to speak naturally just like the native speakers do.
3 English Department Hopefully, the result of this research can give contribution, especially
as the reference for the English Department of Semarang State
