Speaking skill is a vital skill in the process of learning foreign languages in general and English in particular. Improving English learners' speaking abilities is a constant issue in the teaching process, and it can be mastered through a variety of methods. The monologue is currently one of the most well-known ones. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effectiveness of this method in teaching and practicing English speaking skills among five EFL students from Vinh University. To achieve these purposes, the research is based on three primary questions: (1) To what extent does English video dubbing help students enhance their speaking skills? (2) What are the students’ reflections towards the method? (3) What difficulties do the students encounter while applying this method? This study was conducted using a mixed-method approach, which included monitoring speech videos, diaries, interviews, and questionnaires. The findings of the study highlight some of the benefits and drawbacks of this strategy for practicing and teaching English speaking skills in a university setting.
