the interview transcript. R

ET : In teaching speaking, I have several things that I should do. When I teach speaking, I also teach listening, writing and
reading to students. Appendix8IT01Q1
The reason why the students were interested in learning English was the way of the teacher’s teaching was interesting. The teacher used competitive
method in teaching the students. As the students are the Language Department students, they were asked to present their materials in front of the class by
themselves. After doing presentation, the other students asked a question to the presenter. The Interview Transcript supports this by the English teacher.
R : Can you give the example of the teaching learning activities in the
class? ET : For example, I gave the students how to learn speaking which
made them to do the best with their own way. I made a competition in my learning style, but the competition is in positive way. The
students were able to choose their own topic based on the theme of the lesson. For example now is about Analytical Exposition, so
they chose the interesting topic to be presented in front of the class, and they had to discuss it to me. After that, they had to find
the references and create a text by writing so that they could produce a project. After that, they presented their project and one
of their friends would ask them and every students should give score. I did not always give score in exam, but it can be daily
score. So, for the students who have low ability can be more motivated to learn well. And the students should inserted videos to
make it more interesting.
Appendix8IT02Q2
Based on the interview transcript, the students were forced to be brave to perform in front of the class by themselves. The method used by the teacher was
good and made the students more motivated in learning English. In addition, in mastering speaking skills the students should be able to
understand several speaking proficiency, such as students grammatical sentence production,
vocabulary mastery,
comprehension, pronunciation
ability, understanding through task, speaking fluency, interest in learning speaking. From

earlier, they are language department students and they have high motivation in PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
learning English. It was proved by the statement that they enjoyed to be able to speak English 1.18, which means that it is very high. Most of the students are
motivated and interested to learn English especially speaking because their teacher always arouse them to be able to speak English since they are language
department students. However, not all students mastered the speaking proficiency well. Not all
students enjoyed learning English especially speaking. The mean score of 0.24 fair proved it. It means that the students still doubt whether learning English was
important or not. It made the students have low awareness of the importance of speaking so some of them did not gave their best effort to improve their speaking
skills. They were still confused what they were going to speak. The following Interview Transcript supported it.
R : How was your English ability especially in speaking skill?
S1 : Speaking, sometimes when I was going to speak, I was confused

Appendix8IT02Q4
Based on the result, the students had difficulties in determining correct utterances related to the topic what they were going to speak. They also had
difficulties related to grammar so that they were hesitating and lack of confidence to speak English.
In relation to the speaking proficiency, the students sometimes made grammatical mistakes when they practiced speaking. It was proved by the
statement of they were still doubt in producing sentences or utterances with PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
correct grammar. The mean score was 0.29 fair. When the students did presentation in front of the class, they mostly spoke with grammatical mistakes.
The following Field Note proved the statement.
“..... The formalyn is most used by on the body who..in the people who
die because the bacteria inside the body was defeated by formalyn. Many formalyn used something for violate the roles like a fresh..e seller of
fresh fish or fresh meat. Because the formalyn is can make cancer if we eat them repeatedly. So, it would be nice if the food producer or food
seller didnt use formalyn in their.. em.. this is our..my presentation. Is
there any question?” Appendix9FN01
From the above Field Note, the student was unaware to speak most used and is can that it was incorrect grammar. The other student who presented their
materials in front of the class also spoke with grammatical error. The following is also the evidence when the student did grammatical mistakes in their presentation.
“Ok, I will give presentation about headset. Is using headset one of our life style? Headset is handphone with a microphone. Headset is easy to
use. Many people use headset in their computers. Firstly, overuse or too pushy use will cause damage to hearing loss or decrease in hearing or
deaf. Secondly, not expensive, is a tool that is convenient for carrying to many people. Can with any level of volume or listening to the sound of
anytime and anything. You may only use the headset arbitrary, but remember the negative things on the headset. Message, hear yourself
keep your ears.” Appendix9FN01
In the previous Field Note, the student did grammatical mistakes several times when she spoke. Moreover, the following is also the other evidence when
the students did grammatical mistakes in their presentation. “thesis, piercing the contemporary trends are gaining popularity among
young people worldwide. Various types of piercing already available in price variations, but in addition to making its usefulness grow cool and
handsome , piercings have side effects that need attention.....”
Appendix9FN01
In line with the above statement, some students still had difficulties related to pronunciation. Although the result of the questionnaire was high, but there were
still some students who often made pronunciation mistakes. It is because they had rarely practice how to pronounce words well. They also had lack of listening
input. Consequently, they were not able to practice speaking with correct pronunciation and intonation. It was proved by the following Interview Transcript.
R : How was your speaking ability?
S2 : I think that my pronunciation was not correct, and I had to
improve my vocabulary.
R : Do you have any difficulties in learning English?
S2 : I told before that was about pronunciation, and also my
grammar was still low.
Appendix8IT03Q3
From the result, the students stated that she had low ability in pronouncing the correct words or phrase. She also stated that her vocabulary mastery and
grammar was still low. It was also supported by the Interview Transcript below. R
: Do you find any difficulties in learning English? S3
: Yes, of course. Related to speaking skill, I had low vocabulary mastery, and also I was lack of grammar mastery and also the
pronunciation. Appendix8IT04Q3
In class observation, the students did presentation one by one in front of the class and delivered their materials based on the topics given. The researcher
found many pronunciation mistakes when the students did presentation. It was proved by the following Field Note.
You may only use....”. ET interrupted Ss by correcting the pronunciation,”Use”. Then Ss repeated, “You may only use the
headset arbitrary, but remember the negative things on the headset.
Message, hear yourself keep your ears.” ET corrected her pronunciation”Ears”. Then Ss repeated again.
Appendix9FN01 Based on the Field Note, the teacher corrected the student’s pronunciation
several times. It is because they had rarely practiced how to pronounce words. They were also lack of listening input. Consequently, they were not able to
practice speaking with correct pronunciation and intonation. It means that their pronunciation was still low and needed to be improved.
In relation to the students’ communicative competence, the result of the questionnaire was good. The students were able to differentiate between formal
and informal of English utterance. It was proved by the mean score of 0.59 high. Moreover, the students were also able to communicate using English expression
correctly. It was showed by the mean score of 0.47 high. Thus, it can be said that the students had comprehension in differentiating the formal and informal
language so they could be able to communicate using English expression in a correct way.
In addition, the students of SMA Bopkri 2 had high motivation in learning English. They made such efforts to improve their speaking skills. It was supported
by the mean score of 1.2 very high. Moreover, the students also made efforts to practice speaking. It was showed with the mean score of 0.82 high. Since they
were Language Department students, they certainly were motivated in learning English especially speaking skill. However, the students still had several speaking
problems to be solved. The statement of “I did not have difficulties in speaking”, the result of the mean score was low -0.1. From the statement, it can be
concluded that the students had difficulties in speaking. It might derived from several aspects whether their speaking proficiency, their interest, or their
communicative competence. The next statement was “I did not have difficulties in using English expressions correctly while speaking”, the mean score was also low
-0.1. This means that the students still had difficulties to express their idea while speaking. Based on class observation, the teacher reprimanded the student when
she was doing presentation. It is proved by the following Field Note.
ET interrupted the student’s presentation and said,“You may have make it on your own sentences, don’t just read, right? Next”. Then Ss
continued, ”Reiteration, based on the arguments, we can conclude that piercing is an ornament in the form of metal that inserted in the parts of
the human body that are popular among teens and has become a trend today that only satis
faction of each consumer.” Then ET interrupted again and said, “Okay, just a minute, you...em.. make your own
reiteration based on your own sentences. Don’t read the slides. Don’t move, come on.” Then Ss spoke, “piercing is trend and can make be
structure.”
The above evidence showed that the student only read the statements stated in the presentation slide while doing presentation. It means that he could
not express their ideas in English correctly. The other student also did the same mistakes. It is supported in the Field Note as follows.
The way Ss of doing presentation was by looking at the slide behind and reading it. Therefore, ET commented,”Excuse me, would you like to
have your own words and don’t see the slides please? Come on, just have your own sentences.. go back. You make your own arguments.”
In accordance with the Field Note, the student did not do the presentation well. She did not speak with her own words, she only read the statements stated in
the presentation slide. The teacher reprimanded that student several time not to read on the slide. In this case, some students still had difficulties in expressing
their ideas to speak English well. It might cause by their lack of speaking proficiency in some aspects. Based on the class observation and interviews which
had been elaborated before, it was proved that the students still had problems in their speaking performance.
From the result, it could be inferred that most of the students still had difficulties in learning speaking although mostly they had great interest in learning
English. In this study, the researcher intended to design the learning media that supported the students’ speaking skill. The learning media that was designed by
the researcher dealt with technology. Therefore, in order to know the students’
interest with technology, the researcher provided several statements related to the students and technology. The table below
shows the result of students’ engagement with technology.

technology as well as supporting learning media to learn English. It is proved by the following Interview Transcript with the English teacher.
....we have to be solid with IT. As we know that this is the information era, so we cannot be out of date. Teachers do not have to be like
students, at least we have to be able to adapt with the technology development. We are also as facilitators; we are not the only source. So,
so we have to be able to follow the globalization era.
Appendix8IT01Q11 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
From the above statement, the teacher agreed to use technology as the learning media to be implemented in teaching and learning in the classroom. It is
because that there are various media or device which can be used by students to improve their speaking skills, such as laptops, tabletsIpads and smartphone. In
addition, the teacher often used such kinds of media as the various activities in teaching and learning English in the classroom.
Related to the s tudents’ interests using technology, it is believed that
most every student had their own Android phone. It was also stated by the mean score of 1.35 which categorized as very high. It shows that almost every student
has their own smartphone which mostly used in their daily life. Based on the result, the students used their smartphone to support their learning English. It is
proven by the mean score was 1 which categorized as high. However, their mobile phones were rarely used to learn speaking skill. It was showed by the mean score
of 0.3 which considered as fair. It means that most of the students did not optimize their mobile devices to learn English speaking skills. It also showed that
they did not have application which was downloaded in Play Store to improve their speaking, with the mean score of -0.1 low. Then, based on the statement
that the students had never used smartphone to support English speaking skill. The mean score was -0.2 which categorized as low. Based on the result, it showed
that technology especially smartphone was rarely used by the students and they thought that it cannot improve their speaking skill.
The result of the questionnaire was also supported by the result of the interview. The teacher said that the she allowed the students to use their
smartphone to support learning to find the resource from the internet and look at the online dictionary.
Below is English Teacher’s statement which supported this. R
: So, do the students often use their hand phone in learning in the class?
ET : Yes, of course. For example, they want to find the references from the internet using their hand phone, or they want to make a
movie maker, and etc. Sometimes we also used computer laboratory to support learning.
Appendix8IT01Q6
Based on the fact, the students used the hand phone in the teaching and learning process in the classroom, but the function was not to support the learning
process of speaking. Furthermore, the available applications only provide general materials. They do not provide specific materials especially for certain grades and
skills. Most of the applications were e-dictionary. Therefore, the researcher intended to conduct the research by implementing the android application which
support their speaking skill. Therefore, it generally showed that most students had their own mobile devices, smartphones or tablets, which could facilitate them in
learning English. This condition supports the implementation of mobile phones as learning media or Mobile Learning m-learning.
Based on the result of the observation, interview, and questionnaire, it can be inferred that both results are matched to each other. The findings of the
need analysis will be explained further in this section. First, related to the speaking proficiency, not all students mastered the speaking proficiency well.
Some students sometimes made grammatical mistakes when they practice PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
speaking. It was proved in the questionnaire result with the mean score of 0.29 which was considered as fair. When the students did presentation in front of the
class, they mostly spoke in grammatical mistakes. Second, some students still had difficulties related to pronunciation. Based on the interview result, it was stated
that the students had rarely practice how to pronounce words well. They also had lack of listening input. Therefore, they were not able to practice speaking with
correct pronunciation. Third, the students’ vocabulary mastery was still low. It is also stated in the interview result. From the findings related to the students
speaking proficiency, it could be inferred that most of the students still had difficulties in learning speaking although they had great interest in learning
English since they were Language Department students. Furthermore, related to the technology, all students had their own hand phone in their life style, especially
Android phones. However, the function of the hand phone was not to support the learning process. Moreover, the available applications in their Android phones
only provide general materials. They do not provide specific materials especially for certain grades and skills.
Based on the previous condition, it can be concluded that there was a great opportunity to explore mobile phones more as learning media which
supports the students’ need. By using mobile phones as learning media to support the learning speaking is likely to be implemented because they were flexible,
simple, practical and interesting to use. Easy English Learning Android Application EEL, therefore, will facilitate the students’ speaking skill.
