THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VIDEO RETELLING ACTIVITY ON FLUENCY DEVELOPMENT AMONG INTERMEDIATE UZBEK EFL LEARNERS

Abstract

Developing speaking fluency is one of the most difficult parts of learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Many Uzbek learners have enough education of grammar and vocabulary but they often find it hard to express their ideas smoothly and confidently. This study investigates the effectiveness of video retelling activities in improving speaking fluency among intermediate Uzbek EFL learners. The research involved ten intermediate-level students who participated in video retelling activities in four weeks. Students watched short English videos and retold the content in their own words. Data were collected through pre-activity and post-activity speaking assessments as well as questionnaire. The results showed noticeable improvements in fluency, confidence, and speaking performance. The findings suggest that video retelling can be an effective and engaging technique for enhancing speaking skills in EFL classrooms.
