Designing Interactive Video Media to Boost Speaking Skills in 11th Grade English Classes

Abstract

This study focuses on the development of interactive video media to improve the speaking skills of grade 11 students at MAs Sunankalijogo. The study found that 75% of students had difficulty expressing opinions in English due to lack of confidence and practice speaking in real situations. To overcome this problem, researchers designed interactive videos with interesting visual and audio elements, so that the learning process becomes more enjoyable and motivates students. This research uses a Research and Development (RnD) model with a systematic approach in product development. The interactive video was validated with a high percentage, reaching 97.5%, indicating the product is “Very Valid. "The implementation of interactive video media received positive feedback, with 85.9% of students expressing interest in the learning materials developed. The study concluded that the use of interactive videos not only improved students' speaking skills but also created a more engaging and effective learning environment, in line with the goals of the Independent Curriculum to create active and collaborative learners. This research contributes to English language education by providing an innovative tool that can enhance students' confidence and ability to communicate effectively in English, preparing them for future challenges in a globalized world.
