THE INTEGRATION OF YOUTUBE TO TEACH ENGLISH FOR PROFESSIONAL HOTEL STAFF: A COMPARASHION AT TWO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN CIREBON

Abstract

This research investigates teachers' abilities in teaching students, especially in the Professional Hotel staff class, using YouTube as a learning medium in two selected high schools. An interesting factor in conducting this research is that improving students' ability to speak English requires good and efficient learning methods. The method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, where the teacher carries out three stages: Before teaching, during testing, and after teaching. Then, interviews were conducted using open-ended questions, and finally, documentation data was collected. The 1st and 2nd English teachers carry out preparation teaching where the teacher prepares the material and then chooses the video content that will be taught to students. The 1st and 2nd English teachers teach using YouTube as a medium. English teachers one and 2 have several differences when teaching.In contrast, English teacher 1 chooses two content to teach and is more inclined to play videos without re-explaining the material contained in the video. While the English 2 teacher chooses more than two videos, the teacher always pauses and explains the meaning of each video to the students so they can better understand the content. They use YouTube videos as English learning media for teachers, which benefits students' learning and improves their English language skills in hospitality classes. So, sorting video content and how teachers teach is crucial to enhancing YouTube media.
