I. INTRODUCTION
This  chapter  presents  the  background  of  the  research,  formulation  of  the problem,  objectives  of  the  research,  uses  of  the  research,  scope  of  the  result,
and the definition of term; clarified as the followings.
1.1 Background of the Problem
One  of  the  objectives  of  teaching  English  is  to  make  the  students  able  to communicate  using  the  language  in  the  form  of  oral  and  written
communication. Speaking is one of the oral communications that is learned by students from elementary school to senior high school. Speaking is considered
the most difficult language skill by students because they should have lots of vocabularies, they have to be able to pronounce the words correctly, and they
have  to  be  able  to  use  them  in  appropriate  context.  In  this  case,  the  students must study hard to master it and the teacher should create a good atmosphere
in the class. The problem is that the students are afraid of making mistakes, of being  laughed  at  by  their  friends  and  of  having  lack  of  confidence  in  their
ability Hamer, 2007.
Speaking  is  the  most  important  skill  that  should  be  mastered  by  students  in building  a  good  communication.  According  to  the  2006  English  Curriculum
2
and its supplement, the emphasis of the curriculum is that the students are able to  communicate  in  English  by  mastering  the  whole  skills.  However,  the
difficulty of each skill is relative because it depends on the students.
Speaking is a process of communication between at least two people and it is a way  to  express  someone’s  idea.  In  speaking  English,  students  might  have
enough  vocabulary  but  they  seem  awkward  in  expressing  what  is  in  their minds.  Therefore,  students  should  be  able  to  find  suitable,  effective,  and
efficient attempts to do what is required.
It seems that students get difficulties to achieve the target of speaking without having effective learning strategy. Learning how to speak English fluently and
accurately  is  considered  a  grand  task  for  students.  To  overcome  these language barriers, they need to  utilize learning strategies.  Learning strategies
is  a  set  of  actions  either  conscious  or  subconsciously  to  achieve  a  learning goal, i.e. to able to apprehend, internalize, and use the target language Hassan
et al. 2005:13. Students have to use their strategies when they attempt to find ways  to  cope  with  task  they  face.  It  will  be  able  to  make  the  students  learn
English more successfully if they use the strategies in learning English.
Based on the researcher’s pre-observation, when conducting teaching practice PPL,  it  was  found  that
student’s speaking ability is  still low. The students got difficulties in expressing their ideas. They thought speaking was the most
difficult part in learning English as a foreign language. Besides, it seemed that
3
students  were  feeling  afraid  of  making  mistakes  in  the  way  they  conveyed what  they  wanted  to  say.  The  problems  which  might  hinder  the  students  to
learn speaking English might be categorized into three classifications.
First is cognitive, for example students do not have an organization skill when they  are  speaking  and  they  lack  rehearsal  activity  for  what  they  want  to  say.
The  second  is  metacognitive,  for  example, the  students’  lack  of  planning,
monitoring and evaluating which students make when they are going to speak. The last is social, for example students are feeling afraid of making mistakes
when  they  speak  and  they  do  not  know  the  way  how  to  pronounce  certain word.
Speaking  is  a  productive  skill,  it  is  believed  that  the  more  they  practice,  the better  they  would  be.
Students’ speaking proficiency is highly varied. There are  a  number  of  students  whose  speaking  skill  is  already  good.  On  the  other
hand,  there  are  a  number  of  students  whose  speaking  is  not  sufficient.  The potential problem is that students  do not  have any strategies when they  learn
speak.  Cohen  1998:  18-19  states  that  there  are  many  strategies  that  can  be used by students to improve speaking, for example before-speaking strategies
lowering anxiety, preparing and planning, predicting what is going to happen and planning possible. The difference of the leaning strategy shows that there
are many different levels of learning difficulties of each personal.

Students can improve their language skills in a better way if they are capable of using a wide variety of language learning strategies. The more students use
a  greater  variety  and  number  of  learning  strategies,  the  more  proficient  they would  be.  Therefore,  it  is  important  to  understand  what  kinds  of  language
learning strategies that students employ to their oral performance. Under their circumstance, it may be assumed that in some cases using appropriate learning
strategy  has  correlation  towards  students’  speaking  achievement.  Using different strategy will characterize their achievement.
Sabuncuoglu’s study showed that a good language learner tries to find ways to use  these  strategies  to  succeed  in  language  learning.  These  strategies  usually
make  learning  more  successful  if  they  make  use  of  learning  strategies  while learning  a  foreign  language.  The  study  shows  that  most  students  used
metacognitive strategies and cognitive strategies in learning English although not many of them used social strategies in speaking. It shows that they do not
tend to cooperate with proficient users or others.
Concerning  the  students’  problem  in  speaking  English,  the  researcher analyzed  the  difference  of  speaking  among  high  and  low  frequency  users  in
using  language  learning  strategies.  Therefore,  this  research  attempts  to investigate  the  role  of  language  learning  strategies  in  speaking  at  the  second
year students of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Bandar Lampung.

1.2 Formulation of the Problem
Based  on  the  background  above,  the  researcher  formulated  the  problem  as follows:
1.2.1  Will be there any significant differences between: a  High  and  low  frequency  users  of  learning  strategies  and  their
speaking ability? b  High  and  low  frequency  users  of  cognitive  strategies  and  their
speaking ability? c  High and low frequency users of metacognitive strategies and their
speaking ability? d  High  and  low  frequency  users  of  social  strategies  and  their
speaking ability? 1.2.2  What type of language strategy do the students most frequently used in
speaking  skill  at  the  second  year  students  of  SMA  Muhammdiyah  2 Bandar Lampung?
1.3 Objectives of the Research
This research is conducted in aids to achieve several objectives: 1.3.1  To find out whether there are significant difference of speaking ability
among  high  and  low  frequency  users  of  learning  strategies  at  the second year students of SMA Muhammdiyah 2 Bandar Lampung.
1.3.2  To  explore  learning  strategies  that  students  use  in  speaking  at  the second year students of SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Bandar Lampung

1.4 Uses of the Research
The  results  of  the  research  are  expected  to  give  several  contributions  both theoretically and practically.
1.4.1 Theoretical Uses
The  result  of  the  research  is  expected  to  be  used  to  confirm  the  previous theory  about  the  learning  strategy  which  students  use  towards  their  speaking
ability.
1.4.2 Practical Uses
-  The finding of the research will be useful especially as the information to the  readers  about  some  strategies  mostly  used  by  students  in  speaking
ability. -  After knowing the strategies used, it is hoped that students can employ the
most  appropriate  strategies  and  it  gives  consideration  for  teachers  in improving students’ speaking ability.
1.5 Scope of the Result
This research was a quantitative in nature. The major or independent variable is  learning  strategy.  There  are  three  major  learning  strategies  that  were
investigated  namely  cognitive,  metacognitive,  and  social  strategies. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is studen
ts’ speaking ability. The focus of this  research  covers  the  identification  of  learning  strategies  used  by  the
students  and  the  difference  of  speaking  ability  among  high  and  low  strategy
7
users  of  learning  strategies.  In  this  research,  the  researcher  investigated  the students’ speaking ability in the way of they made a conversation telling about
past  activities.  This  research  was  conducted  in  SMA  Muhammadiyah  2 Bandar Lampung at the second year students in year 20132014.
1.6 Definition of Terms
Based  on  the  description  above,  the  researcher  provide  some  definition  of terms that can across often during the research. The term below will guide the
reader in reading and understanding the thesis.
Language Learning Strategy
It  means  the  steps  or  actions  taken  by  language  learners  in  the  process  of learning to learn another language.
Cognitive strategy
It deals with the all activities that take place in the brain in order to acquire a foreign language.
Metacognitive strategy
It  refers  to  the  study  of  the  ways  in  which  people  monitor  and  control  their own cognitive strategy.
8
Social strategy
It  concerned  with  the  nature  and  form  of  social  interaction  and  how  people come to influence one another’s behavior.
Speaking
It is an activity of interacting and communicating among people in social life. Speaking is also the ability that the learners have to communicate, to convey
and to have meaningful conversation in English.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW
This chapter reviews some theories that were be used to support the research. The  theories  of  speaking  in  general,  learning  strategy,  and  learning  strategy
use in speaking will be discussed in this chapter,
2.1 Concept of Speaking
There are many different ways that people can do to communicate what they think.  Some  people  prefer  telling  what  they  want  by  gesture,  note,  or  even
eye-contact.  Meanwhile,  some  others  prefer  conveying  their  intension  by words  or  speaking.  Speaking  is  the  primary  skill  of  language  and  it  can  be
developed from the beginning when someone was born, from the first contact with the language.
Speaking  is  a  productive  skill  in  which  the  speaker  produces  and  uses  the language by expressing a sequence of ideas and at the same time heshe tries
to  get  the  ideas  or  the  massage  across  Putria,  2011:13.  Speaking  is  not merely saying words but also using language to deliver meanings in order that
listener  can  make  sense  of  them  Cameron,  2001.  We  try  to  communicate with each other and use our language to make other people understand. Byrne
1948:8 defines speaking as two processes between speaker and listener and it
10
involves  the  productive  skill  and  receptive  skill  of  understanding.  In  other words,  one  tries  to  communicate  with  each  other  to  send  hisher  message  to
the second person.
It is not extremely easy to convey the message in English. The problem might be caused by the factor that speaking requires several aspects to consider such
as  the  language  use,  pronunciation,  stress,  intonation,  tenses  and  choice  of words. Hamer 2007 states that to be able to speak easily, well and quickly,
students  have  to  able  to  pronounce  phonemes  correctly,  use  stress  and intonations pattern appropriately, and speak in connected speech.
In  order  to  be  fluent  speakers,  those  who  speak  fluently  and  accurately,  the students  need  mental  or  physical  effort.  It  is  because  to  be  able  to  speak
fluently, they have to speak and think at the same time. It implies that we need to monitor what we say and correct any mistake when we speak. Pinter 2006
states  that  there  are  so  many  things  which  have  to  be  learned  to  be  fluent speaker  such  as  the  appropriate  to  say  in  certain  situation,  how  to  manage
conversation and how to interrupt their own contribution
Speaking  requires  not  only  the  knowledge  how  to  produce  form  of  language such  as  grammar,  pronunciation  and  vocabulary,  but  also  the  comprehension
about  when,  why  and  what  ways  to  produce  language  Brown,  2001.  To master  speaking  skill  is  not  easy  and  short  process.  To  be  able  to  speak
11
fluently in foreign language we need a lot of practice. It is what proverb says “practice makes better”.
Speaking  is  defined  as  the  ability  to  express  ideas,  feeling,  opinions,  and wishes in carrying out speaking task in the class room. Brown 2001:271 says
that speaking ability in a language class is the ability to perform the language in  a  task.  If  students  want  to  be  able  to  communicate  in  English  well,  they
need  to  able  to  pronounce  the  words  correctly,  use  appropriate  stress  and intonation,  and  use  a  language  in  a  range  of  different  genre  and  situation
Hamer, 2007.
There are some criteria in speaking skill. Welty 1976:47 states that speaking is  one  of  four  basic  skills  of  language  and  it  has  important  role  in  daily  life
because  it  is  the  main  skill  in  communication.  Speaking  must  fulfill  these
following criteria, they are: 1.
Pronunciation
Pronunciation  refers  to  the  ability  to  produce  easily  comprehensible articulation.
2. Grammar
Grammar  refers  to  the  study  of  language  rules  it  is  a  kind  of  regularity  of sound structure that nobody could learn language without grammar. Grammar
is  the  set  of  logical  and  structural  rules  that  govern  the  composition  of sentences, phrases, and words in any given natural language.
12
3. Vocabulary
Vocabulary  refers  to  selection  of  words  that  suitable  with  content.  There  are thousands  of  words  with  rule  of  combining  them  make  up  the  language  that
students should master.
4. Fluency
Fluency is the smoothness of flow which sounds, syllables, words and phrases are joined together when speaking.
5. Comprehension
Comprehension  is  the  study  how  well  students  understand  language,  or  that helps them to improve their understanding of it.
On  the  other  hand,  different  from  the  five  categories  by  Welty’s  1976, Heaton 1991 states that there are three aspects to be tested. The three aspects
are:
1. Pronunciation
Pronunciation  refers  to  the  ability  to  produce  easily  comprehensible articulation  Syakur:  1987.  Heaton  1978:5
in  Putria’s  study  2011:14 defines
grammar  as  the  students’  ability  to  manipulate  structure  and  to distinguish  appropriate  grammatical  form  in  appropriate  ones  is  needed  for
students to arrange correct sentences in conversation.
2. Fluency
Fluency can be defined as the ability to speak fluently and accurately. Fluency refers  to  the  ease  and  speed  of  the  flow  of  the  speech  Harris,  1974:81.  It
13
means  that  when  a  person  makes  a  dialogue  with  another  person,  the  other person can give respond well without difficulty.
3. Comprehension
