Data Gathering Technique RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
33 After choosing the group, the students would have a script to perform. The
scripts had been provided by the lecturers and the group should choose one script to perform by drawing a lot. Each group had the script to perform the role play
and some of the members should practice it to be the artists. According to Byrne 1986, a role play can be grouped into two forms, scripted and unscripted role
plays. A scripted role play involves the interpreting either the textbook dialogue or reading text in form of speech. The students in Play Performance class used the
scripted role play to perform on the stage. Based on the observation, the researcher concluded that the teaching
learning process in Play Performance class was good. The teaching learning process was in accordance with the features of principles for teaching speaking. It
was stated by Bailey Savage 1994 that teaching speaking should consider whether the language is used for the second language or foreign language or not.
Then, the students got the opportunities to practice both of fluency and accuracy. The other is the students got the opportunities to work in a group and the last is
the speaking tasks involve the negotiation for meaning also the classroom activities involve the guidance and practice in both transactional and interactional
speaking p.54. For the Play Performance class in the academic year 20142015, the genre
of the performance was comedy. In the next activities, the students worked hard to perform a scripted role play by practicing a lot. They had to have an exercise
outside the classroom activities. In addition, they spent a lot of time to prepare the performance in order to perform well on the stage.
34 After practicing hard, the students performed the scripted role play on the
stage on May 23
rd
, 2015 at LIP Sagan, Yogyakarta. There were two sessions of the performances. The first and second session consisted of two groups. Each
group tried hard to perform the scripted role play well on the stage. Since the genre of the performances was comedy, many audiences laughed at the act of the
artists. All of hard work and efforts of the groups were worth taking on the performance day.
