Description
Summary:Digitization Era has contributed in the development of English language learning. Access to English language learning has now been increasingly opened up to the users of internet. Developing of speaking skill may be accelerated through the use of social media and technology (particularly through computer assisted technology). With this assumption, this study attempted to investigate and offer solutions to issues such as the access to media and technology as well as public speaking learning by English language students in Indonesia through computer assisted language learning mode. The study was conducted with quantitative methods through pretest and posttest with assessment rubrics designed in such a way as to produce the best results. Quasi-experimental research design was employed in the study supported with Pretest and Posttest of the Control Group Design. The results revealed that there was a significant effect of CALL learning on the public speaking skill of the participants. That is why the potential use of CALL is recommended for developing Public Speaking skills of the Indonesian learners.
