A mixed-method of qualitative and quantitative approaches is applied in this study. In collecting the data, three instruments were used, namely observation, interview and documents of students’ speaking test results. The class observation revealed that the students learned more in understanding how to perform speaking better from the speaking videos they had watched from YouTube. The average score the students gained from their videos uploading on Instagram after the course (4.12) was higher than that in the pre-test (2.40). These scores were assessed based on speaking scoring rubric of Brown’s (2001). From the uploaded videos observation (watching) of the students, it could be seen that their speaking performance improved from their initial videos to the second ones in which they were more confident, accurate, fluent and comprehensive. From the interview to the lecturer, it was understood that the students enjoyed watching the videos and they became more motivated to learn and practice their speaking skill. Besides, in order to post their best speaking videos, they put their best efforts to perform well since they realized that their videos would be watched by myriad numbers of people. Therefore, this research work confirmed that utilizing YouTube as media and posting videos on social media as activities applied in virtual speaking class promoted students’ speaking skill.

It encompasses some theories about roles of teachers, roles of learners, the definition and characteristics of self-directed learners,the advantages of self-directed learning, and some possible tips of shaping self-directed learners. Some roles of teachers are discussed in this paper to highlight that teachers do not only teach and give some materials to be learned by their learners but have great tasks, like to be a monitor of students learning, motivator, organizer, and controller of pupil behaviour,provider of accurate language models,counselor and friend, needs analyst,material developer, and evaluator (Richard :1990:4). Hence, a teacher must encourage learners to take on greater degree of responsibility for their own successful learning (Hedge, 2000:34) and a teacher must motivate and help the learners to gain and develop the executive control of their learning strategies especially metacognitive strategies to teach them how to learn (Joyce,etal: 2009:16).Thus, some roles of learners become important to be included in this paper to assert that the burden of learning cannot be merely puored on the teacher but the learners have some roles need to be contemplated for the success of teaching and learning. Therefore, the integration of teacher - learner awareness toward their roles in teaching learning process can be effectively shaped to generate self-directed learners.","PeriodicalId":53085,"journal":{"name":"English Community Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45710391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
