ABSTRACT
English Education Study Program FKIP Almuslim University's
third-semester students sometimes have trouble speaking the
language. This is brought on by a fear of making a mistake, a lack
of language knowledge, and a poor grasp of pronunciation. By
utilizing effective and engaging teaching strategies and media,
lecturers in the Speaking course must assist their students in
resolving this issue. Diorama, particularly digital diorama, is an
effective teaching tool because it is a specific three-dimensional
media that illustrates or explains anything in miniature. This
research was to find how the effect of using diorama in teaching
students’ speaking skill ability in increasing students’ speaking
skill ability. The population of these study students of in third
semester of English Education Study Program of FKIP Almuslim
University with 15 students. In order to see the students’
improvement on speaking skill, the procedure of quantitative
data with analytic scoring rubric formulated by Oller (1979). This
is the one group pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was used
for knowing the skill of the students before use diorama
activities. After giving the treatment, the students got the post
test. The one-tailed paired-samples t-test was used to examine
the effect of using diorama in teaching students’ speaking skill
ability in increasing students. This result showed that digital
diorama model influenced the enhancement of speaking skill
after being trained with using digital diorama model.

INTRODUCTION
In English language, there are four skills to be mastered there are listening, speaking, reading and
writing (Rosyid, 2018; Muliadi & Rosyidi, 2021). Speaking is one of the four language skills which are very
important to learn. Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing,
receiving and processing information (Rosyidi, 2022). Every students want to be able to speak English

fluently therefore all students must master all those skill. The best way of doing communication is by
speaking. According to Richards and Renandya), “Speaking is one of the elements of communication” (J.
Richards & Renandya, 2002). Furthermore, the function of speaking skill are to express an idea, someone
feeling, thought, and it express spontaneously by orally. Speaking is the way for people to express their
emotions, communicative needs, interact with other persons in any situation, and influence the others (Rosyidi,
2022). Speaking is the one of language of art of talk as communication interaction with someone, and it is
very difficult to master it. Speaking skill is have a closely relationship with listening skill, in speaking act,
the students must be listening and then speak up, because speaking is not only remembering and
memorizing the sentences in written but speaking is spontaneous to show students idea by orally at the
same time sharpen their abilities. Speaking has been one of the most important in the learning. Because
students communicate and exchange opinions by speaking.
Speaking is crucial when learning a second language, including in English. Speaking has been
neglected in schools and colleges for a variety of reasons, such as the emphasis on grammar and the
imbalance between instructor and student talents, whether it is important or not. Speaking in English is no
longer examined for competency due to challenges in objectively evaluating it and the length of an English
speaking test (Clifford, 1987). It takes amazing talent to speak both one's mother tongue and second
language. Developing speaking skills is the most important aspect of learning a second or foreign
language, and the success of that endeavor is determined by one's ability to carry on conversations in that
language (Nunan, 1995).
One of the four language abilities, speaking is the most crucial since people who acquire a
language are referred to as speakers of that language (Ur, 1996). Giving students the ability to
communicate effectively and correctly in English is the major goal of teaching English (Davies & Pearse,
2000). However, it appears that language learners lack the necessary expertise in this area because they are
unable to speak clearly and effectively. So, in order to increase the proficiency of language learners, we
need a strategy and quality learning resources.
The third semester of the English Education Study Program at FKIP Almuslim University is
where the writers of this research teach speaking skills using digital diorama as a medium. hopefully, the
media diorama can make them spirit and more creative in learning speaking and also to stimulation their
own ideas. How does using a diorama to teach pupils how to speak improve their speaking ability? This is
the formulation research problem.
The purpose of the digital diorama in this study is to give students a smaller, more portable
overview of an object that will be used as discussion material during class. Students can express opinions
about the topics being covered and gain an understanding of them by viewing the diorama.
The benefit of diorama media is that it offers direct experience, presents concretely and avoids
verbalism, can represent the object as a whole, including its construction and how it functions, can clearly
illustrate the organizational structure, and can clearly show the flow of a process. Dioramas' shortcomings
include their inability to reach numerous targets, the need for extensive storage, and the difficulty of
maintenance. Making the diorama large enough for the entire class to see will help to make up for this
shortcoming. The diorama can be constructed as a closed model to facilitate difficult maintenance and
prevent easy dirt accumulation.
Speaking abilities and diorama media are related in the sense that having diorama media around
can help with speaking ability learning. The ability to depict a form or an event that can be brought into
class with a size that is not the same as the original is one of the benefits of diorama media.
Students can study and analyze the scenario and objects in the diorama utilizing the skill of
speaking using diorama media. Students derive ideas for speeches from the findings of these observations,
and there is a summary of the context in which these students will talk, allowing for more organized,
cogent, and varied speaking on the part of the students. Without practice, speaking is not an easy talent to
learn. Students can practice speaking skills using visual media to improve their communication abilities.
In primary schools, the use of diorama media in the teaching and learning process attempts to enhance
Silvi Listia Dewi, Chalil As’ari, Intan Zuhra / Jurnal Ilmiah Global Education 4 (1) (2023)
The Effect of Using Digital Diorama on Student’s Speaking Skill Performance - 80
students' communication abilities. Aiming to boost students' passion for developing speaking abilities,
diorama media is designed to be as appealing as possible.
Dewi and Muzammil (2020) say that the teaching of speaking can mean to teach students to
converse in target language since speaking can not be separated from having a conversation. So the
students will be directly involved in speaking activities whenever they are conducting a conversation.
When it is assumed that speaking is the way the students express their idea and feelings and communicate
their intentions, speaking then becomes an inevitable skill to be trained or taught. As it was discussed
previously, speaking is one of the ways the learners express orally their idea and thought. So the teaching
of speaking should be able to give contribution to the development of the students’ abilities to any aspects
of language skills.
Function of speaking an important dimension of conversation is using a style of speaking that is
appropriate to the particular circumstances. According to Brown and Yule cited in Richards (2008), there
are three functions of speaking, those are: talk as interaction, talk as transaction, and talk as performance.
First, talk as interaction refers to what we normally mean by conversation and describes
interaction that serves a primarily social function. When people meet, they exchange greetings, engage in
small talk, recount recent experiences, and so, on because they wish to be friendly and to establish a
comfortable zone of interaction with others. The focus is more on the speakers and how they wish to
present themselves to each other than on the message. Such exchanges may be either casual or more
formal, depending on the circumstances. There are some main features of talk as interaction, a) has a
primarily social function, b) reflects role relationships, c) reflects speaker‘s identity, d) may be formal or
casual, e) uses conversational conventions, f) reflects degrees of politeness, g) employs many generic
words, h) uses conversational register, i) is jointly constructed.
Second, talk as transaction refers to situations where the focus is on what is said or done. The
message and making oneself understood clearly and accurately is the central focus, rather than the
participants and how they interact socially with each other. The main features of talk as transaction are: a)
it has a primarily information focus, b) the main focus is on the message and not the participants, c)
participants employ communication strategies to make themselves understood, d) there may be frequent
questions, repetitions, and comprehension checks, as in the example from the preceding classroom lesson,
e) there may be negotiation and digression, f) linguistic accuracy is not always important.
Third, talk as performance refers to public talk. That is talk that transmits information before an
audience, such as classroom oral presentations, public announcements, and speeches. Talk as performance
tends to be in the form of monolog rather than dialog, often follows a recognizable format (e.g., a speech
of welcome), and is closer to written language than conversational language. The main features of talk as
performance are: a) a focus on both message and audience, b) predictable organization and sequencing, c)
importance of both form and accuracy, d) language is more like written language, e) often monologic.
According to the material above the writer conclude the function of speaking is very important especially
in style of language in certain circumstances there are three function of speaking, those are:
a. The first talk as interaction.
Talk as interaction more focus on the conversation and want to get to know each other more than the
massage that they want to convey to each other.
b. The second talk as transaction.
Talk as transaction more focus on what is said and done, and this focuses more on the massage delivered
than knowing each other.
c. The last talk as performance
Talk as performance more leads to talking or conveying information in front of the audience example
public announcements.
According to (Oller, 1979), a language proficiency measuring tool aims to gauge how much a
student has learned in a foreign language course, or in some of its components. Oller refers to the
assessment of students' mastery of course material and accomplishment of course objectives in this
definition (Oller, 1979).
Silvi Listia Dewi, Chalil As’ari, Intan Zuhra / Jurnal Ilmiah Global Education 4 (1) (2023)
The Effect of Using Digital Diorama on Student’s Speaking Skill Performance - 81
Accent, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension are among the factors that Oller
(1979) claims should be taken into account when evaluating a speaker's proficiency in a language. This
indicates that if students can master some of the speaking ability test's constituent parts, they can master
speaking skills. This is the rationale behind the researcher's decision to employ the John W. Oller, Jr.,
speaking proficiency test, which allows for the measurement of a number of speaking abilities that can
later be used to gauge students' skill in speaking English.
To teach speaking skill, it is required for the instructor to have a thorough understanding of the
process of involvement in communication, such as motivation, media, interest etc. There are numerous
media available for teaching and learning English speaking that can pique students' interest in the subject,
provided that the media chosen is appropriate for the lessons being taught. However, the author believes
that digital diorama is a useful medium for improving pupils' speaking abilities.
Schools have a fantastic potential thanks to digital technologies. It is commonly acknowledged
that they address the demand for information in society, particularly the requirement for lifelong learning,
and increase young people's interest in order to attain learning outcomes that are beneficial in daily life. A
genuine intellectual partner that can help close the information-learning gap, technology can become a
significant amplifier of communication and interpersonal collaboration when utilized appropriately and in
accordance with socio-constructivist teaching approaches (Ghislandi, 2012). Web 2.0 technologies
promote interaction, sharing, and teamwork. Thus, through activities, teaching strategies, relationships
with the study materials, etc., virtual learning environments transform into locations for experiences as
well as social settings through interactions, communication, and sharing. Because of the opportunity to
engage with others and learn through discussion, everyone participates fully in learning settings and
contributes to the completion of tasks and shared projects by sharing their own experiences, information,
and abilities to increase collective knowledge (Herrington et al., 2014).
Dioramas, in this case digital diorama, are actual artifacts used to depict phenomena.
Additionally, dioramas are life-size, three-dimensional exhibits that can be found at scientific or natural
history museums (Brown et al., 1977). Additionally, the diorama explains how objects relate to one
another and their surroundings. The diorama's depiction of these objects is an accurate representation of
reality (Tunnicliffe & Scheersoi, 2015).
In order to accomplish specific goals for teaching themes and topics, dioramas can also be used.
For instance, in a biology diorama, real elements like flora and soil structure make it simple to show
students what an animal species' true environment is like. Without utilizing actual animal examples,
dioramas can be utilized in the educational process to illustrate ideas like symbiotic life and prey hunters.
Additionally, dioramas aid in recognizing historical biodiversity, such as extinct life forms (Marandino et
al., 2009). In order to employ optimism in educational instructions to accomplish learning goals,
especially in learning to speak English, all of the characters in this diorama raise it (speaking).
From the foregoing information, the author can draw the conclusion that dioramas are effective
teaching tools because they are a special kind of media with three dimensions that describe or explain
anything in tiny form. Media that has three dimensions length, thickness, and width and can be viewed
from all angles is known as three-dimensional media. Real or small things make up the majority of three-
dimensional media. Dioramas are an effective teaching tool for students. The use of this material will help
teachers and students learn more effectively and foster their creativity. Dioramas are distinctive and
crucial teaching instruments for everyone's biology education. It offers details on their historical
development, decline, and more recent renaissance, as well as past and present developments in their
construction, the taxidermy technique, and aspects of interpretation and educational research about
learning processes, including various techniques to engage audiences, like performance and storytelling.
METHODS
This quantitative research is to examine the effect of using diorama activities in students’ speaking
skill, in this research the researcher took the location at English Education Study Program of FKIP
Almuslim University. It is located at Jalan Almuslim, Matangglumpangdua, Paya Cut, Kec. Peusangan,

Kabupaten Bireuen, Aceh. This research will conduct on the third semester in the academic year
2022/2023.
According to Suharsimi Arikunto, a population is a set (or collection of all elements processing
one or more attributes of interest. So the population is taken of whole subject or person in study to get
required data. The population of these study students of in third semester of English Education Study
Program of FKIP Almuslim University with 15 students.
A sample is a small portion of the population that was examined for the study that is gathering
data. "Sample is a subject of individual or cases from inside the community," according to Nunan. In
taking sample the researchers use all of the population of students of the third semester of English
Education Study Program of FKIP Almuslim University. This study is one group pre and post-test
experimental research design.
The researcher used an oral test as instrument to get the data. To collect the data, The researcher
gave students twice tests, those are pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was aimed at measuring the students’
preliminary their speaking knowledge and achievement before they entered the experimental circle. The
post-test was aimed at finding out the data needed to evaluate after got the experiment.
The form of speaking test was to express of students’ performance. The student discussed in group
using media digital dioramas that have been given with their own word. Then, the researcher got the score
from Accent, Grammar, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension. The researcher gave one minute to
student to speak use media digital dioramas with their own words in front of the class. In order to see the
students’ improvement on speaking skill, the procedure of quantitative data with analytic scoring rubric
formulated by Oller (1979) was used (see Table 3.1).

From the above description, it can be seen that there are 5 components to assess speaking skill.
Here the writer wants to explain the way to score for each component. For example, suppose a given
Silvi Listia Dewi, Chalil As’ari, Intan Zuhra / Jurnal Ilmiah Global Education 4 (1) (2023)
The Effect of Using Digital Diorama on Student’s Speaking Skill Performance - 83
candidate is interviewed and he made many mistakes in action or he has to repeat many times to make
him understood. So, he belongs to category 2 and he is scored 1 for accent. Suppose further the examinee
is rated 3 on the Grammar scale which means he makes frequent errors showing some major patterns
uncontrolled and causing occasional irritation and misunderstanding. Based on the Weighting Table this
score is worth 18 points toward the total. Say then the same examinee is rated 3 on Vocabulary for an
additional 12 points; 3 on Fluency for 6 points; and 3 on Comprehension for 12 points. The examinee’s
total score would thus be 1 + 18 + 12 + 6 + 12 = 49. This score according to the Conversion Table would
rank the candidate at level 2. That is, the candidate would be judged to be ‘Able to satisfy routine social
demands and limited work requirements.
The scale is the central tendency called mean or arithmetic average. It is sum of all the values in a
distribution divided by the number of cases. In terms of formula it is (Ary, et al, 2002 : 128):
x
x
N
where:
x
= mean;

x = raw score;
N = number of cases.
Recording was used to record the students’ voice when they speak during the test. The researcher
used a tape recorder like hand phone. The purpose this recording is to analyze the scoring rubric of
speaking.
The researchers use technique of data collecting in this research is test. In order to get the valid
information that will support the researcher. She uses test to for knowing the result study of speaking
before and after using chain pictures. The data collection process is nothing other than doubling of
primary data for research purposes. In accordance with the necessary data in this study, the technique data
collection in this study includes:
Test is an instrument or procedure designed to elicit performance from learners with the purpose of
measuring their attainment of specifies criteria.
a. Pre- test
The writers use pre-test for knowing the skill of the students before use diorama activities, the
students must make their daily activities and the students practice in front of the class.
b. Post-test
After giving the treatment, the students got the post test. It will be used to measure the effect of
diorama activities toward students’ speaking ability.
Overall, the independent variable in this study is digital diorama model. The dependent variable in
this study is the scores of participants’ speaking ability. For research question how the effect of using
diorama in teaching students’ speaking skill ability in increasing students’ speaking skill ability’, the one-
tailed paired-samples t-test was used to examine the effect of using diorama in teaching students’ speaking
skill ability in increasing students. All analysis was performed using SPSS statistic package for Window
Version 16.0. Table 2.6 summarizes the measurements and data analysis for research hypotheses.

One tailed before and after paired sample t-test was conducted to answer the research question.
The result showed that there was statistically significant higher between the pre and post-test average
speaking score of the third semester of English Education Study Program of FKIP Almuslim University
students after being taught using using digital diorama model, because the significance value was (p =
.043/2 = .0215) and it was below the significance value α < .05 (see Table 3.10). So, the Ho (null
hypotheses): the post-test average reading score of English Education Study Program of FKIP Almuslim
University students after being taught using using digital diorama model is the same as or lower than their
pre-test, could be rejected. This result showed that digital diorama model influenced the enhancement of
speaking skill after being trained with using digital diorama model. The one group pre-test and post-test of
the third semester of English Education Study Program of FKIP Almuslim University students after being
taught using digital diorama model analysis is shown in Table 3.10.

The main hypothesis specified that the average reading score of the EFL Indonesian students
across different learning styles before and after being taught using Metacognitive Strategy Instruction is
different. Whereas the first hypothesis stated that the post-test average reading score of the visual EFL
Indonesian students after being taught using Metacognitive Strategy Instruction is significantly higher than
their pre-test score.
CONCLUSION
The achievement of students speaking skill of experimental group after treatment was better than

Recently, podcasts have gained attention as an experimental tool for enhancing English language skills. However, existing studies often overlook crucial variables related to learning dynamics. The current research aims to fill this gap by investigating the impact of podcast duration, the timing of educational content discussion, and their interplay on developing English language listening skills. The study explores the nexus between tale duration and discussion timing across four distinct groups via the quasi-experimental design. These groups undergo varied levels of correlation between story duration and discussion timing, allowing the research to scrutinise their effects on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners' listening skills. The study's sample comprises sixty university students majoring in English language and translation. Rigorous participant selection criteria, including language proficiency, educational background, and prior experience with podcast-based language learning, ensure a diverse yet homogeneous group. The randomly assigned participants form four experimental groups, each exposed to different combinations of story duration and discussion timing. Additionally, this research provides valuable insights into the intricate relationship between these variables and their impact on EFL learners' listening skills. Findings from cognitive assessments and observation cards reveal that, surprisingly, these factors do not significantly influence students' English listening competence ratings. However, irrespective of the schedule, pre-lecture discussions emerge as a consistently effective strategy for enhancing students' English listening skills. Moreover, in light of these findings, the study presented a set of recommendations that emphasized the importance of discussion and interaction among students before listening to digital content, which in turn reflects positively on the performance of academic students in developing English as a foreign language listening skills.

Speaking fluent English is crucial as an international lingua franca, offering individuals greater opportunities for education, employment, and social mobility. YouTube was incorporated in an English classroom to develop students' speaking and reduce their anxiety. Educational YouTube videos are regarded as authentic materials that play an essential role in teaching. Two classes in the third semester were randomly selected as experimental and control classes in the English Education Department at Universitas Borneo Tarakan, consisting of 70 students. The experimental class was treated with YouTube, and the control one was taught traditionally. Data were collected through a speaking test (instructing students to explain the video) for all samples and a questionnaire to observe the students' anxiety after using YouTube. The questionnaire's test data and Likert scale were analyzed using a T-test. The study discovered that the average increase in the experimental group's speaking ability score was 2.86 ± 0.54, higher than in the control group's speaking ability score of 1.03 ± 0.74. The anxiety of the 36 respondents in the experimental group, at most 33 respondents (91.7%), had a medium level of anxiety, and the other three respondents (8.3%) had a low level of anxiety. It implied that technology contributed to creating effective English learning for students in the 21st century. Since YouTube assisted students in fostering speaking, teachers are expected to use various technologies to create fun English learning and motivate students.

Authentic learning is a pedagogical approach that situates learning tasks in the context of future use. Over the last two decades, authentic learning designs have captured the imaginations of innovative educators who see the approach as a means to enable students to develop robust knowledge that transfers to real-world practice. Authentic learning has its foundations in the theory of situated cognition, together with other pedagogical approaches developed over the last two decades, such as anchored instruction. It offers an alternative instructional model based upon sound principles for the design and implementation of complex and realistic learning tasks. The technologies associated with technology-based learning provide ideal conditions for the implementation of the approach, both in blended and fully online courses. New Web-based technologies and mobile devices provide affordances—as both cognitive tools and delivery platforms—for dissemination of polished and professional authentic learning experiences. As educational institutions increasingly embrace the internet and Web-supported learning, the potential exists for authentic learning environments to be used widely to improve student learning. This chapter reviews the seminal and recent literature in the field, and provides a model of authentic learning for the design of learning environments across educational sectors.

Historically, communication between foreign language schools in the federal government and academic foreign language programs has been extremely limited. Typical government and academic programs are compared on the 11 significant program characteristics of instructional goals, student characteristics, class size, curriculum, instructional staff, assessment criteria, program length, skill modalities emphasized, in structional methodology, results attained, and supporting empirical research. This series of comparisons reveals a striking contrast in instructional objectives and procedures that has served to reduce cooperation between government and academic foreign language programs. It is argued, however, that these significant differences should be viewed as complimentary, rather than divisive. The combined assets of both foreign language teaching communities provide heretofore untapped resources for empirical research into national foreign language issues. Options are then described for cooperative research ventures to address these issues.
