Findings and discussion
This part presents a comprehensive analysis and discussion of the conclusions derived from the collected data in the context of this research.This study analyzes the advantages and drawbacks of using the Ome-TV application to enhance the speaking abilities of students majoring in English Language Education (ELED).

The Benefits of Utilizing the Ome-TV Application for English Language Education (ELED) Students' English Oral Proficiency
The utilization of the Ome-TV program has shown the potential to enhance Englishspeaking proficiency among students.There are four distinct dimensions of speaking proficiency that students may refine through the utilization of Ome-TV programs as a medium for improving their English speaking abilities.A comprehensive explanation of the benefits is provided in the subsequent paragraphs.

Becoming effective Media for practicing English speaking skills
Using the ome-TV application, students had the opportunity to practice their fluency in speaking English with other users globally.All six participants-Bella, Trudy, Smith, Noni, Tom, and Simon-agreed that the Ome-TV application could facilitate their finding English partners in conversation.Trudy further asserted, "I can directly practice my English in the dialogues during a conversation with my partner in Ome-TV ."Noni,Smith, and Tom agreed that the most effective approach to enhancing fluency in spoken English is to engage in frequent and consistent oral communication practice.Tom elaborated on the importance of cultivating fluency in spoken English, saying, "It would be advantageous to have individuals or acquaintances who engage in English communication in Ome-TV since this would facilitate reciprocal interaction among them that results in better English language practice." OmeTV may be a valuable instrument for English language practice [29].OmeTV offers users the chance to engage in live discussions with individuals who are either native or highly skilled in the English language.This platform facilitates developing listening [30]and speaking abilities [27], enabling users to practice and enhance their language skills.Students can interact with individuals from many English-speaking regions, providing exposure to various accents, dialects, and everyday idioms.These platforms offer opportunities for unscripted dialogues, facilitating the development of quick thinking, adeptly responding to unforeseen inquiries, and enhancing linguistic proficiency [31].Students can promptly obtain comments on their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary usage from their discussion partners.

Providing a supportive-entertaining environment for language exposure
The data reveal that Smith said, "Individuals utilizing the Ome-TV program exhibit a greater sense of comfort and entertained in both their interpersonal interactions and environmental surroundings".This may be attributed to the fact that the primary objective of Ome-TV users is to engage in cross-cultural communication and establish friendships.The setting fosters a sense of ease among users, enabling them to converse with their peers.Simon stated, "Using the Ome-TV program allows him to feel at ease, enabling him to communicate his thoughts in English confidently."Additionally, he mentioned that engaging in conversations with other users on Ome-TV provides him with many opportunities to enhance his English-speaking skills via regular practice.
Ome-TV has the potential to offer a conducive and enjoyable setting for language immersion, particularly when students approach it with a suitable mentality and appropriate expectations.The informal and relaxing atmosphere of Ome-TV can contribute to a more comfortable learning environment for students while engaging in English language practice [8].This approach can potentially mitigate anxiety commonly associated with the process of language acquisition, enhancing the overall enjoyment and satisfaction derived from the learning experience [27].Ome-TV offers round-the-clock availability, enabling students to engage in English language practice at their convenience, accommodating the diverse schedules of learners, and fostering flexibility [21], [25].

Meeting mutual respect fellows to speak English with
The interview data denote that the majority of users of Ome-TV applications demonstrate mutual respect when communicating in the English language.Bella asserted, "Ome-TV provides a platform for individuals to demonstrate their ability in the English language openly.We respect each other despite our language shortage."The participants said they never engaged in English conversations with their friends due to their apprehension of being criticized for their inadequate pronunciation or grammar.However, they found solace in utilizing Ome-TV, providing them a platform to confidently express themselves in English without fearing being evaluated.
Engaging in conversations with like-minded individuals on OmeTV platforms to practice English language skills is a valuable and enriching experience for anyone seeking to enhance their linguistic abilities.Students cultivate a conducive and amicable ambiance in their talks by using courteous and affable language.Individuals should refrain from discussing disagreeable or contentious subjects while demonstrating courtesy towards their interlocutors.The majority of Ome-TV users believe that this platform yields a greater number of positive outcomes than unfavorable ones [31].

Providing interactive pronunciation drills in real-time
Bella and Noni stated that utilizing Ome-TV facilitates locating native speakers and conversing with them.Bella further contended that native speakers may be characterized as those with proficient speaking skills since English is their first language, and they employ it in their everyday societal interactions.Moreover, Noni noted that the proficiency and fluency exhibited by native English speakers were commendable and appeared effortlessly natural.Therefore, Noni further elucidated that assuming the position of a native speaker might be advantageous for English language acquisition, as outlined below."When conversing with native speakers, I can enhance my listening skills and emulate their speech patterns."

Participating in dialogues with individuals who are native or highly skilled in the English language through the OmeTV platform can serve as a productive method for enhancing students' pronunciation skills.OmeTV facilitates the connection between students and individuals, a significant portion of whom possess natural fluency in English.This implies that students have the opportunity to enhance their pronunciation skills by engaging in conversations with individuals who possess a native-like and precise mastery of the language.Students can attentively observe their conversation partner's pronunciation and try to imitate their speech patterns, intonation, and accent [24], [25].The practice of active listening and imitation can assist students in honing their pronunciation abilities [27].

Enhancing Lexical Proficiency
By utilizing the Ome-TV program, students can acquire substantial word input from various interlocutors.Noni, Tom, and Simon agree that employing Ome-TV programs facilitates seamless interaction with proficient English speakers, be they native or non-native users.Noni further highlighted, "Inside the virtual realm of Ome-TV, social interactions offer valuable possibilities for expanding one's vocabulary and assimilating new words from fellow users engaged in conversations on the platform."Moreover, Simon posited that engaging with fellow users on Ome-TV resembles viewing films or partaking in dialogues.Simon further elaborated that he could inquire about unfamiliar words or phrases on Ome-TV.He expressed that he could immediately approach the interlocutor and request clarification on any linguistic content that posed difficulty in comprehension.Subsequently, he would kindly ask them to explain the intended significance using more accessible terminology.Based on the aforementioned statement, the researcher has concluded that virtual social engagement may influence students' vocabulary development by facilitating the acquisition of new language through conversational exchanges with their virtual acquaintances.The assertion aligns with the research that employed social interaction models yielded positive outcomes in augmenting students' language skills [32].Students can discern the correct word choice, determine the appropriate subject and object pairings for certain verbs, and identify the phrases or collocations they commonly employ to enhance their vocabulary and augment their capacity to articulate their ideas.

Receiving a substantial amount of input on grammatical knowledge
Noni highlighted the educational benefits of utilizing the Ome-TV program, wherein students can actively listen, observe, and comprehend the linguistic patterns employed by proficient English speakers, both native and non-native when conversing in English.In addition, Bella asserted, "During interactions with native speakers, we exhibit sensitivity towards their language and possess the ability to discern any grammatical errors in our English conversation promptly."Additionally, Simon elucidated that with the utilization of Ome-TV, he could get feedback during his interactions with fellow users inside the platform of Ome-TV, in the following manner: "During my interactions with individuals, I might sometimes seek feedback on my grammatical proficiency in spoken English.To enhance my proficiency in spoken English, I want opportunities to engage in direct practice and refinement.Additionally, having a reference point against which I can evaluate my aptitude in grammatical comprehension and application would be beneficial."Individuals often modify their grammatical use during social interactions when they find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances, engaging in novel languages, or utilizing diverse communication media [33].Using Ome-TV as the communication medium, students can modify their grammatical usage, which may lead to better understanding and mastery.The more they have social engagement with more knowledgeable people, particularly in grammatical knowledge, the better the possibility they have of better grammatical mastery [34].

The limitations of Utilizing the Ome-TV Application for English Language Education (ELED) Students' English Oral Proficiency
The utilization of the Ome-TV program for English Language Education (ELED) students' English oral competence has the potential to be a successful tool.However, it is important to acknowledge the numerous limitations associated with its use.Considering these limitations while integrating the application into an ELED program is important.The limitations include below:

Inappropriate for the use of English as a formal language.
Agreement was reached among all participants about the unsuitability of utilizing the Ome-TV program for formal learning.The opinions of each participant were derived from their own experiences with the Ome-TV program.Ome-TV is deemed unsuitable for official educational purposes.The individual expressed, "In my opinion, Ome-TV is not conducive to formal educational settings; rather, it is better suited for informal and impromptu learning experiences." Ome-TV is deemed unsuitable for formal educational purposes, particularly in academic environments such as schools or universities, due to its primary function as a random video chat network for informal talks [27].The platform must provide the requisite educational components and resources for formal language training, including structured lesson plans, instructional materials, and evaluative evaluations.Furthermore, the inherent randomness of Ome-TV may result in content that needs to be more anticipated and perhaps unsuitable [31].Conversely, inside formal educational settings, establishing a regulated and secure learning environment is necessary, a task that proves to be arduous on Ome-TV.Furthermore, implementing efficient formal language training frequently encompasses pedagogical techniques such as scaffolding, providing feedback, and utilizing focused exercises.Ome-TV lacks the essential resources for teachers to execute these initiatives proficiently.

Featuring a substantial use of unfavorable language
The interview data revealed that when utilizing the Ome-TV program, many users engage in conversations with others while employing unpleasant language.Bella said, "a considerable number of individuals using the program for nefarious purposes, including engaging in impolite interactions, employing offensive language during conversations, and exhibiting racist behavior."Smith included another user who had malicious intentions in utilizing Ome-TV, resulting in a decline in students' motivation to engage in English speaking practice.Smith mentioned, "encountering individuals of this nature has had a considerable impact on my ability to learn and improve my English-speaking skills through interactions with others from many nations.However, these individuals' lack of enthusiasm towards refining their speaking abilities has hindered my progress." The findings of a study examining politeness in Ome-TV indicate that the vocabulary employed on this platform consists of 79% positive politeness and 21% negative politeness [31].The speaker and hearer employed positive politeness strategies to cultivate a pleasant atmosphere, establish amicable ties, and facilitate effective conversation.In contrast, an overreliance on negative politeness strategies can result in the use of ambiguous or oblique language, hence posing difficulties in effectively expressing one's intentions or making explicit demands.This phenomenon might lead to instances of misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

Utilizing diverse ethnicity accents
The Ome-TV program facilitates worldwide connectivity and enables students to communicate with other users in English.Due to the convenient accessibility of the program, the user base on Ome-TV exhibits a diverse range of individuals.Bella said that there are no restrictions on user access to the program, as stated below: "The Ome-TV program is a versatile and utilitarian tool that facilitates seamless communication between individuals from diverse geographical locations.This application enables users to engage in direct virtual interactions with other individuals using either a mobile device or a computer.Consequently, I frequently encounter individuals with distinct accents, enhancing my overall experience on the platform." Noni reported seeing several people with varying accents and English-speaking abilities while using the Ome-TV program.Noni asserts, "Individuals possess a diverse range of distinct accents.It is widely acknowledged that there are several accents, including but not limited to Australian, American, Canadian, British, and others."Furthermore, Smith mentioned, "I had confusion while interacting with other users who possessed diverse accents."He also noted, "several lines were articulated distinctly, resembling the American English accent, which might be perplexing to comprehend for anyone unfamiliar with this particular dialect."Accents have the potential to impede effective communication across many channels, impacting both the speaker with the accent and the recipient of the message [35].To begin with, the presence of accents might provide a difficulty for listeners in correctly comprehending spoken language.Various accents can exhibit unique pronunciations, intonation patterns, and speech rhythms that depart from the listener's accustomed speaking patterns.The potential outcome of this situation is the occurrence of misconceptions and misinterpretations.Furthermore, in the case of persons with pronounced accents, speech recipients may allocate additional cognitive resources toward comprehending the uttered words and phrases.Extended talks might result in mental tiredness and a decrease in listening comprehension.In some scenarios, persons with accents may encounter adverse stereotypes or biases from their audience, potentially influencing the effectiveness of communication.Stereotypes can potentially result in erroneous assessments of the intellectual capacity, trustworthiness, or linguistic proficiency of the individual being evaluated.
