Abstract

This Master’s research aims at describing the influence that the implementation of self-recorded video has on the improvement of ninth graders’ English-speaking sub-skills as pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary at the state school Institución Educativa Moderna de Tuluá, Valle del Cauca. This research was carried out by collecting and analyzing the data from a speaking pre-test before the implementation of a selfrecorded video didactic sequence. Then, after the execution of such a didactic sequence, students took a speaking post-test. Finally, an online questionnaire was applied to find out students’ experience about the implementation of this teaching strategy. According to the findings, the application of self-recorded videos helped students improve their Englishspeaking sub-skills, being grammar and vocabulary the most benefited. An additional gain from this didactic strategy, the application of the questionnaire shows an increase in motivation when using self-recorded videos for speaking.
