Teacher Perspective and The Effectiveness of Improving Speaking Skills Through CoComelon Video

Abstract

This study examines teachers' perspectives and evaluates the effectiveness of using CoComelon
videos as instructional media to enhance students' English speaking skills. The research was conducted with
English teachers and fifth-grade students at Anubanloei School, Thailand. The research adopted a mixed
methods approach utilizing a pre-experimental design. A combination of t-tests and thematic analysis was
employed to analyze the data. The instruments used included pre-tests, post-tests, questionnaires, and in
depth interviews for data collection. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in students'
speaking skills, particularly pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension, following the
integration of Cocomelon videos as a teaching medium. Teachers reported that students exhibit greater
engagement, increased motivation, and improved comprehension when exposed to visually appealing and
age-appropriate video content compared to traditional media. Despite occasional technical difficulties, the
study highlights the effectiveness of integrating multimedia into language teaching and the positive role of
technology in fostering active, engaging, and enjoyable learning environments.
