THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTENSITY OF WATCHING NETFLIX SERIES IN ENGLISH AND THE SPEAKING ABILITY OF 3RD SEMESTER ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDENTS AT SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
This study examines the relationship between the intensity of watching Netflix and speaking ability among 30 third-semester English Education students at Sriwijaya University. Using a quantitative correlation design, data were collected through questionnaires measuring viewing habits and speaking tests to assess oral proficiency. The study showed no significant relationship between the two variables, with a very weak and statistically insignificant correlation. However, Netflix has educational potential when integrated with structured activities that encourage active engagement and language production, emphasizing that entertainment media cannot replace systematic instruction and active practice in developing speaking skills.
