The Impact of Self-Video Recordings in Raising Oral Production

This paper examines the impact that self-video recordings of oral task-based activities have on the development and/or improvement of students’ speaking skills. The study was conducted over an eight-week period during which fifteen participants wrote a script for a TV cooking show and videotaped their rehearsals in order to receive teacher feedback. Finally, they made a closing presentation, TV show style, during which a recipe was followed while they explained its steps and gave tips. Data examined by means of videos, structured interviews, and students’ reflections showed that participants’ oral production was enhanced mostly due to the analysis that the students were able to do of each one of their rehearsals, which also helped the teacher to give more meaningful feedback. This action research intervention resulted in an increase of vocabulary, self-confidence, motivation, fluency, and better pronunciation.
