speaking skill. The teacher said that speaking is the difficult skills to be learned whereas the students must achieve the Minimum Mastery
Criterion- Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal KKM. Furthermore it talked about the strategy used by the teacher in teaching English speaking. The
teacher said that she had never used role play in teaching the students, she usually teaches speaking by introducing new dialogue to the students, then
she reads the dialogue and was followed by students together, and then she gave the meaning of the dialogue.
From the result of interview, there were some problems in teaching speaking. First, the teacher didn’t encourage the students to speak English
in speaking class so the students have lack of practicing in English speaking and have not motivate to speak in English language. Second, the
students feel doubtful to pronounce the words and sentences because of being afraid in making mistakes. Third, the teacher didn’t apply various
methods in teaching learning process. Next, most of students did not like study English, because it is the difficult lesson so most of students gained
low competence in English.
