Abstrak
Asynchronous video feedback (AVF) is an approach of providing students with feedback via video that can substantially enhance their speaking skills including pronunciation grammar vocabulary and fluency. This research is seldom experienced in informal education and speaking classes. The study was done in an online English course in Pare Kediri using a mixed-methods methodology that included pretests post-tests questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Speaking 1 class selected eight online students and four students were interviewed based on their speaking performance on the test. The results demonstrated that AVF significantly improved students speaking abilities including fluency grammar vocabulary and pronunciation. AVF can promote autonomous study and discipline although educational background may influence comprehension particularly when it comes to grammar. When compared to in-class feedback AVF reduces emotions of embarrassment and nervousness while providing useful information for future online English classes. The study s small number of participants and brief instruction duration have limited its scope. More research is needed to assess students speaking ability in control and experimental classes using AVF and other feedback as well as to examine teachers perspectives.
