Abstract

English mastery and 21st century skills are two important considerations for every educator as education is striving to prepare today's students to become prepared for the competitive global market of tomorrow. In the previous study, the researcher had implemented student-made video project to develop students' English. Having observed the students' English skills development in each phase of student-made video project, in this further study the researcher investigated the students' responses of English for Management class toward the project. The points cover in the students' responses are in relevance to 21st century skills, which are the students' responses toward autonomy in learning English, the students' responses toward teamwork, and the students' responses toward technology used in English learning environment. The data was obtained through questionnaires and interview. The result revealed that despite the students' difficulties in running the project, they responded positively to the project. However, even though students realize the benefit of the video project related to the development of 21st century skills, the statements and high average score from the questionnaire do not suffice, as it can be argued that the students of the responses might be due to their awareness that the project must be useful. It is important, therefore, to scrutinize further what the students associated with their positive attitudes as they answered the questions for this research, which will in turn lead to the knowledge of important factors to students' learning motivation.
