It employed a quasi experimental design towards fifth grade students of elementary school in Sukabumi. The data were obtained through pre and post test, field notes and questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed by t-test computation supported by grounded theories of teaching speaking to young learners synthesized from Cameron (2001), Linse (2005), and Pinter (2006) and the theory of using videos by Candlin (1981), Sherman (2003), Hu (2006), and Tobing (1993). The research revealed that the use of videos was likely to be effective in improving young learners’ speaking ability, particularly in terms of vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. Furthermore, it attracted students’ attention and promoted their participation. Nevertheless, those strengths might have been constrained by high speed of talk, uncommon dialect, high cost and good quality of multimedia. Theoretically, the research enriches literature about the topic and practically it further informs teachers in implementing videos based instruction method. Moreover, the research may be used for the development of policy which can help teachers in improving young learners’ speaking ability.
