Abstract:

The study investigated the effectiveness of micro-vlogging in enhancing the oral communication skills of Grade 4 learners in Surigao City Pilot School, Schools Division Office of Surigao City. It is anchored on Richard Mayer’s Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (2001), Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, Vygotsky’s Socio-Cultural Theory and the Communicative Language Teaching approach. The study examined the influence of micro-vlogging on students’ oral communication skills. Utilizing a quasi-experimental research design, the study collected the data through pre-tests and post-tests. Findings reveal the following: learners who engaged in micro-vlogging activities showed significant improvement in oral fluency and better articulation of ideas. Consequently, the study concludes that micro-vlogging is an effective tool for enhancing oral communication skills among young learners. It recommends the integration of short-form video creation in classroom instruction to support learner-centered approaches, and continuous training of teachers in using technology-based strategies to improve communicative competence in the elementary level.
