Abstract

The use of virtual classes in teaching-learning processes has increased recently which makes a videoconference class one of the alternatives for carrying out the processes. The research focuses on students' perception toward the use of videoconference as the mode of teaching-learning for a specific course; namely English Business Presentation and reveals the impact(s) of the use of this mode in teaching speaking for Presentation. A questionnaire was distributed to 33 students of the 1st-semester students at Bina Nusantara University in an experimental class that applied a videoconference as the mode of teaching-learning. The questionnaire consisted of opened-closed questions. 7 students among them were chosen randomly to be interviewed using WhatsApp (WA) communication media to get deeper insights into their perception toward the matter. The data was analyzed qualitatively based on five areas of discussion: the videoconference class, the communication during the class, the lecturer, the engagement, and the barrier. The results show that they perceive positively the use of videoconference as the mode of teaching-learning in this course although it reveals the facing barriers during the virtual class session. The result of the interview shows the impacts which in the future may be used as the consideration in using this mode of teaching.
