Abstract

Technology has an essential part in the world of education 4.0. Technology integration is needed in teaching and learning processes to successfully achieve the targeted learning outcome. Therefore, Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has become an interesting topic for studies related to English teaching and learning processes. Numerous studies suggest that MALL is effective for improving students’ skills in learning English at any level and boost their learning motivation. Among the studies, some were conducted on investigating the effectiveness of video blogging in improving students’ speaking skill. Some other studies were focused on exploring students’ view on the implementation of video blogging. However, there are only a few studies that focus on teachers’ practice in implementing video blogging. Therefore, through a reflective practice, this article tries to look at and reflect the practice of implementing YouTube vlogging in teaching-learning speaking for the students of a non-English department in Politeknik Negeri Jember. The results showed that YouTube vlogging activities were conducted through five main stages: preparation, modeling, concept-making, implementation, and review. The results also revealed that student self-assessment is needed after vlogging activities are done to help the students reflect on their speaking practice. It is suggested that video blogging activities are implemented in EFL classes as one of teaching and, at the same time, learning strategies to boost students’ speaking performance.
