Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of using YouTube videos to improve integrated
English listening and speaking skills among grade 7 students at SMP Negeri 5 Salatiga in the
academic year 2024/2025. This study addresses two research problems: (1) The profile of
students’ before and after using YouTube videos to improve English integrated listening and
speaking skills (2) The effectiveness of using YouTube videos to improve English integrated
listening and speaking skills.
The design of this study was pre-experimental. Pre-test and post-test results from 30
students were collected, and statistical techniques, such as paired sample t-test, were used for
analysis. The post-test mean score (82.43) was greater than the pre-test mean score (70.53),
according to the data. Furthermore, a significant difference between students' learning outcomes
before and after the treatment was indicated by a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These
results imply that by offering visual and aural stimuli, increasing engagement, and demonstrating
real-world language use, YouTube videos can significantly improve students' speaking and listening
skills.
