Developing the Content and Online Discussion Strategy in Blended Learning to Improve Students’ Speaking Skill
Abstract
Collaboration of content and an online discussion approach are critical in the epidemic era. In this context, Discussion activities can be created in blended learning, which combines in-person and online learning. This project aims to improve students' speaking skills by generating content and an online discussion technique. This research aims to determine the validity, practicability, and usefulness of this strategy for improving students' speaking ability. This strategy means to motivate students to have confidence in the discussion, involve them to lead the discussion actively, create various topics to be discussed in the meeting, tell and respond among them, and give feedback to the discussion. The subject of this study is the fourth-grade students of an elementary school in Kubu Raya in the Academic Year 2022/2023. By developing this strategy, it is expected that the students’ speaking ability can be improved.
