Review literature review A STUDY OF STUDENTS 'SPEAKING THROUGH VLOG SKILLS by Amelia Sri Rahayu and Vina Nurviyani

Hello welcome back to my blog ^ _ ^ today I will review the journal entitled A STUDY OF STUDENTS 'SPEAKING THROUGH VLOG SKILLS by Amelia Sri Rahayu and Vina Nurviyani let's start with the literature review. Literature review is a description of the theory, findings, and other research material obtained from reference materials to be used as the basis of research activities to develop a clear framework of thinking from the formulation of the problem to be studied.

The use of Vlog as Media in Learning Speaking

According to Nunan (cited from Astuti, 2013) teaching speaking means teaching and learning styles, using words and sentences, intonation patterns, and rhythm of the second language, how appropriate words and sentences according to the proper social , setting, audience, situation and subject matter, to organize their thoughts in a meaningful and logical sequence, using language as a mean of expressing values and judgments, using the language quickly and unnaturally confident, which is called as fluency. Teaching speaking means teaching communication and everything about speaking to students in detail, from the address to the most difficult.

Many media can be used to facilitate students' speaking skills. The media is usually called instructional media. According to Vernon (1996, cited in Ruis, Muhyidin, Waluyo, 2009), there are six kinds of instructional media: (1) Drawing or teacher mode drawings, (2) Still pictures, (3) Audio recording. (4) Motion picture and TV, (5) Real object, (6) Programmed and computerassisted instruction. Vlog is included in motion picture and TV category. Vlog is a video recording presented in a moving image from live action. Objects may be normal and edited for abbreviated or high lighting. It can be silent or having audio.

Vlogs offer good and personal sites for people to practice the target languages (Rakhmanina and Kusumaningrum, 2017). Since vlogging is mostly oral, speaking is the major component. It is supported by Christian (2009), he explains that personal vlog comprises a head-on close-up shot and the vlogger looks at the camera to discuss the details about their life and recent happenings in their life. Vlog has some advantages, such as vlog help students to improve their English speaking skills, students do better on storytelling, expressing ideas, and others, students could also be involved in the vlog as project assignment (Rakhmanina and Kusumaningrum, 2017). This vlog project assignment fosters their personal communication skill on foreign languages. Vlog in learning speaking has some weaknesses for some students, especially low motivated students. They are difficult to collaborate with, their ideas, thoughts and feelings, they tend to be knowledgeable from their teacher, they lack awareness, courage and to join the learning activity (Rakhmanina and Kusumaningrum, 2017).

Inadequate facilities also become the weakness of learning speaking by using vlog (Rakhmanina and Kusumaningrum, 2017). Students must have computers or smartphones to create and upload vlogs. To upload a vlog it requires a good internet connection. The content of students' vlogs are a narrative text made by the students themselves. It is supposed by Anderson and Anderson (2003a) to explain that a narrative is a

text that tells a story and, in doing so, entertains the audience. From the explanation above, the narrative text describes an experience, which its social function is to amuse or entertain the audience with the story.
