Nuriyah, L. (2023). Using the flipped classroom model to enhance English speaking skills
through digital storytelling. Jurnal VIP, 15(1), 10-13.
The article aims to investigate the effect of digital storytelling within a flipped classroom model
on students’ English-speaking skills. This research was conducted using an action research
methodology involving classroom observations, student interviews, and digital video
assignments among 12th-grade students. The study found significant improvements in
students’ fluency, vocabulary use, and confidence in speaking English after participating in
digital storytelling activities. The source, published in Jurnal VIP, is credible due to its peer-
reviewed nature and focus on classroom-based pedagogical research. The research is of good
quality as it applies systematic action research cycles and practical classroom observation. The
article provides valuable insights into the impact of integrating technology-based storytelling
in EFL learning, though it lacks quantitative statistical data to measure improvement levels.
This study is important for the current research as it presents a viable classroom-based digital
storytelling strategy, which can be adapted to Instagram Reels to improve speaking fluency
among EFL learners.

class by using video blog on social media. Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literacy,
5(1), 20-24.
The study aims to improve the English-speaking skills of first-year EFL students through video
blogging activities on social media. Conducted using a Classroom Action Research (CAR)
method, it involved two research cycles with qualitative data collection from class observations
and interviews. The findings indicate that video blogging effectively enhanced students’
speaking fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The source is credible as it is peer-reviewed
and appears in an academic journal focusing on applied linguistics and literacy. The research
is of high quality as it integrates systematic classroom observations with reflective learning
cycles, although it lacks a control group for comparative analysis. This article is relevant to this
research as it demonstrates the practical effectiveness of student-created video content, which
can be applied through Instagram Reels for enhancing speaking skills.
