CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND INTERPRETATION
The objectives of this research, namely to to find out the effect of basic two-
word idiomatic mastery on the speaking skill of the seventh grade students of
SMP Negeri 87 Jakarta, will be answered in this chapter.
After some preparations made, such as making observation sheets in the form of table of observation, the writer explains to the chosen respondents that
they are to memorize, make simple sentences based on the memorized two-word verbs, and
give a short speech on ―Going to School‖ that contains the memorized words.
A. The Research Findings
The observation process takes 8 days, May 12 – 18, 2014. It takes two days
to have basic two-word idiomatic expressions learned by heart, two days to practice the learned expressions, and four days for the whole process of
observation. To make the observation easier, the researcher asked the student to prepare their own speech on ―going to school‖ some time at home. This is done so
for the sake of effectiveness in observing the students or respondents’ performance.
The observation is taken in three stages: a.
The students were asked to come forward and express their learned basic two-word idiomatic expressions. They stood alone before the researcher
in a classroom to be observed. b.
After that, every student was asked to get back to their seats and prepared themselves to utter sentences containing the basic two-word idiomatic
expressions they already learned. c.
Lastly, they were asked again to give a short speech of 5 – 10 minutes.
And here is the result of the observation table 4.1 Table 4.1
