b. The Teacher’s Role in
Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan in Senior High School
The success of the curriculum implementation is in the teacher’s hands. Teachers traditionally are expected to have authority figures and have roles like
parent, instructor, director, manager, judge, leader, evaluator, controller, or doctor. The important roles of the teacher are to be a facilitator who facilitates
communicative activity in the classroom and also to be a communicator who is engaged in the communicative activity with the students Littlewood, 1981: 91-
93. In this research, the researcher regards the teacher as a motivator who is able to motivate, encourage, reinforce or stimulate the students to speak. During the
activities the teacher acts as an adviser, answering students’ questions, monitoring their performance and knowing the students’ strengths and weaknesses as a basis
for planning future learning activities.
B. Theoretical Framework
Before conducting the research on speaking, the first important thing should be considered by the researcher is the nature of speaking itself. The
researcher should know what speaking is and what areas of knowledge are involved when people speak. Those are the things which should be taught to the
students. To teach them all, the researcher uses the five principles for teaching speaking as guidance, so that the research can be done successfully and the
students are able to speak English fluently. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
At the beginning of the research, the researcher should find the problems which occur during the lesson. By knowing the problems which influence the
students speaking fluency, the researcher will be able to help the students to overcome it. The problems which occur are related to some factors. Therefore, to
solve the problems the researcher should know the factors of it. Knowing the factors also helps the researcher to increase or improve the students’ speaking
fluency. The researcher can implement some teaching techniques to overcome the
problems on speaking and to improve students’ speaking fluency. The researcher can choose some teaching techniques to be implemented in speaking lessons. In
this research, the researcher implemented role-play and card-game technique. To decide the materials to teach speaking, the researcher uses the recent curriculum
that is Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan as guidance. From this curriculum, the researcher can also know the roles of the teacher during the speaking lesson.
In this research, the researcher has a role as a motivator who motivates and encourages the students to speak actively during the speaking activities.
CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the methodology of the research, which deals with the method of research, research participants, setting, research instruments, data
gathering technique and research procedures.
A. Method of Research
The research was a Classroom Action Research. Classroom Action Research is a research which becomes a response to solve the problem which
occurs in a classroom and becomes a means of improving teacher’s teaching quality Hopkins, 1993: 9. This research was conducted by applying a particular
teaching technique until the criterion of stopping the cycle was fulfilled. The criterion to stop the cycle is at least four weak students had stepped up the score in
two competencies. If the criterion was not fulfilled, the researcher applied another teaching technique until the criterion was fulfilled. This process was called a loop
process. In this research, the process was begun by identifying the problems which
occurred in the class. After identifying the problems, the researcher then made a lesson plan and selected the first technique to be implemented in the class. After
making a lesson plan, the researcher took action 1 or applied the first technique in the class. The researcher then monitored and noticed the fact-findings, as well as
decided whether the technique which was applied can improve students’ speaking
