7 2. Pecha Kucha Pecha Kucha or Pechakucha is the Japanese words for conversation or “chit-chat”. It was aimed to seek a way to encourage presenters to use Power Point in a more organized manner. According to Dytham 2015, it is a presentation style in which twenty slides are shown for twenty seconds each six minutes and forty seconds in total. Few words are used with relevant pictures and graphics being ordered in the PowerPoint. Pecha Kucha is designed to force speakers to prepare shorter, more creative and more polished Power Point presentation. Because Pecha Kucha slides progress automatically, the presenter cannot stop to advance a slide manually or go back to a previous slide. This forces the presenter to practice his presentation, a step that many speakers tend to skip when they know they are simply reading slides aloud to the audience. More importantly, designing Pecha Kucha presentation motivates speakers to think about their subjects in very different ways. Generally, Pecha Kucha can be implemented for a presentation in a seminar and other similar occasions. In this study, the implementation of Pecha Kucha was only limited especially to be practiced in the language learning for students in the CLS 2 class. The Pecha Kucha presentation method is very effective as a cure for „death by PowerPoint‟, which refers to a common disease at conferences and in language classrooms brought about by boredom and fatigue when too many and too complex PowerPoint slides are used Tomsett Shaw, 2014. Therefore, the Pecha Kucha style also could be implemented as a way of presentation in the language teaching. 8

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In this chapter, the researcher discussed two parts. The first part was talking about a theoretical description; it emphasized on the theories that supported the discussion of the topic. The second part was talking about the theoretical framework which constructed the theories how students experienced the implementation of Pecha Kucha.

A. Theoretical Description

In the theoretical description, the researcher provided seven parts in the connection of the related literature. The researcher reviewed theories of language learners, speaking skills, integrated listening and speaking skill, presentation, material, and Pecha Kucha. Then, it came up with the theoretical framework which relates all reviewed theories and a concept of the research. 1. Type and Aspect of Presentation There are some considerations in developing a presentation. According to Matthews 1994, in his book Speaking Solution: Interaction, Presentation, Listening and Pronunciation Skills, in starting to develop a presentation, presenters need to consider their speaking situation in terms of the following: selecting a subject, narrowing the subject to a topic, analyzing the audience and meeting special guidelines. They can also determine how well a person does the presentation.
