vocabularies, grammar, content, and fluency. Besides, their motivation is low. They feel shy to make mistake to express their idea in English, the teacher has not
applied various method and media, so the teaching learning process is boring, makes the students lay their head down on the table.

improve the students’ interest and motivation in learning English especially in speaking skill. Video provides a real good model of English pronunciation. This
helps students to check if they pronounce words correctly or not. In addition, to solve the students’ problems in speaking skill, as a good English teacher, he or she
should be able to understand and select the appropriate language teaching approach or technique to his students. Since speaking is an oral skill and students
are required to speak fluently and accurately, they need more repetition and

audio- lingual method will improve the students’ speaking skill because they can
learn it based on native speaker. G.
