Abstract:

Abstract Incorporating YouMiMe or Youtube and MindMeister applications as pedagogical innovations is investigated in this study, which aims to acquire students’ English skills for the first semester of academic year 2021 in higher education. The quantitative study method was employed in this study. The group includes 52 students from the computer science faculty. Students were required to watch the teaching materials through video via You Tube. The students pay attention to pronunciation, vocabulary, listening and reading carefully. Then the students discuss in groups to write sentences to paragraph, which they insert into the MindMeister application. Then, the students share their knowledge and record the presentation. The final step is that the team submits their video presentation to the You Tube apps as part of the application process. Course outcomes were linked to video content on the You Tube channel. Videos on You Tube, participant responses, and achievement tests were used to gather the data. Descriptive statistics and a questionnaire were used to examine the data. Students' grades had risen significantly on the posttest, according to the results. The t-test analysis yielded the value t = -10.184 with sig (2-tailed) = 0,000, which is smaller than the significance level of 0.05, according to the findings. According to the results, using YouMiMe as a technology-based instructional design has a significant impact on students' English skills.
