TED Talks Video As Efl’s Public Speaking Learning Source

Abstract

The subject of public speaking is fascinating and crucial since it helps students develop their communication abilities. A qualitative approach was used to acquire the data. Finding out how students feel about using TED Talks as a public speaking practice is the aim of this study. There were twenty respondents who were sixth semester English education majors in this study's sample. A questionnaire was used as the research tool. Item 8, which stated, "Watching TED Talks videos improves my comprehension of the lesson content in public speaking," received the highest score.19 students (95%) selected "agree," while 1 student (5%) selected "strongly agree." Item 5, which had the lowest result, had the following statements: "Watching TED Talks videos to learn public speaking is more effective than looking at a teacher's note." Of the students who responded, 3 (15%) strongly agreed, 11 (55%) agreed, and 6 (30%) disagreed. As the study's findings demonstrated, using TED Talk as a teaching tool for public speaking was a smart idea. Additionally, students thought that watching the TED Talk video improved their public speaking skills.
