7 as vital aspects of speaking performance and as complementary roles. Finally, this
study focused on non-English major university students’ who learn speaking.
C. Problem Formulation
This study would attempt to answer: 1. Is the students’ speaking accuracy in the video-recording-facilitated English
class better than that of the students in the regular English class? 2. Is the students’ speaking fluency in the video-recording-facilitated English
class better than that of the students in the regular English class? 3. What aspects of video-recordings facilitate the students’ speaking accuracy and
fluency?
D. Research Objectives
This study had two main objectives. Firstly, this study was to prove the researcher’s belief that the use of video-recordings effectively facilitated the
students’ speaking accuracy and fluency. Hence, the statistical computation using ANCOVA was applied to see the effectiveness. The gain scores of experimental
group and control group, which would be the representative of the students accuracy and fluency development, were compared. The gain scores were
obtained by subtracting the speaking pre-test scores from the speaking post-test scores. The statistical computation would reveal the difference of significance
between experimental group and control group. The difference of significance indicated that the use of video-recordings affected the students’ speaking
performance. In other words, the use of video-recordings did support the development of the students’ speaking accuracy and fluency.
8 Secondly, this study was to verify that all aspects of video-recordings
positively led to the improvement of the students’ speaking accuracy and fluency. In this study, the natures of video-recordings included self-evaluation, peer-
feedback, one-to-one teacher consultation, visual and auditory immediacy and feedback preciseness, flexibility, repetition, and video display. This current study
aimed to find which natures of video-recordings dominantly facilitated the students’ speaking accuracy and fluency and discuss how they were able to
effectively enhance the students’ speaking accuracy and fluency.
