than grammar and grammar was taught inductively when the students need it. Finally, the teacher asked the students to describe several pictures soon after the
pictures were shown before them.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
This chapter presents the conclusions and some suggestions related to the research findings which are discussed previously.
A. Conclusion
Based on the research findings in the previous chapter, the writer draws a conclusion that there are some aspects in teaching speaking. They are objective,
the speaking materials, classroom management, teaching method, teaching media, and evaluation. First is the teaching objective which is aimed to help the students
to gain their goal that is to be able to speak English. Second is the speaking material. The teacher used the teaching materials that were taken from the course
book such as handbook and handout designed by the institution. Third is the classroom management. Since the way the teacher manage the class will affect the
way he deliver the materials, so in applying the materials, the teacher played his role in facilitating and providing the English learning environment for the students
to practice their oral performance for the classroom management. The teacher also placed himself as the tutor and resource who allowed the students to ask anything
such as the materials they considered to be difficult. In addition, the teacher always investigated whether the teaching and learning process he conducted run
well or not. Fourth aspect in the teaching and learning process is the teaching method. The teacher used Communicative Language Teaching CLT as his
method. The teacher made the meaning in communication become more prominent than grammar. He also provided sufficient time and classroom
activities to make the students to practice their speaking as much as possible. The fourth aspect is media that was used in the teaching speaking is picture. The use of
picture as media did improve the students’ ability in target language oral
performance. In addition, by using the picture as media, the teacher is able stimulate and maximize a variety of students’ potential ability such as the ability
to suddenly retell the story, to arrange the story sequence. Therefore, since every
student has to perform and convey their own story based on the picture given for several times, their emotion and mental are regularly managed well. Thus, the
students are able to be actively involved in the process of teaching and learning speaking.
Finally, the last aspect in the teaching and learning process of speaking class is evaluation. The teacher employed the formative test which is written test. It is
usually given at the end of material completely discussed. The teacher gave an oral test at the end of teaching and learning period as well. The oral test was
conducted by asking the students to describe the picture soon after the pictures were shown to them without any preparation. Such test was aimed to make the
students in creating pure ideas about problems and the reality.
B. Suggestion
At this point, the writer would like to give some suggestions to increase the implementation of teaching speaking in the class:
1. To the English Teachers
The prominent steps to take care about are planning, presentation or teaching, and evaluation. The teachers are suggested to prepare them well before coming to
the teaching and learning process. To make the students actively practice their speaking skill either inside or outside the classroom, it is necessary for the
teachers to give interesting teaching methods such as Communicative Language Teaching CLT in the teaching and learning process. For instance, the use of
picture as media in teaching and learning process can help the students to express their idea through reflecting the image shown and then presenting it with their
speaking skill. Furthermore, to stimulate and to m aximize the students’ interest in
practicing their oral performance, the teachers need to provide learning environment which gives the students sufficient chances to practice it as well. In
addition, the teachers have to make the individual approaches to the students in order to monitor their learning development.
2. To the English Students
It is necessary for the students to practice their speaking every time they get any chances. For instance, the students can make a simple conversation with other
students in the class while they are waiting for the teacher. They can practice their speaking outside the class when they meet their classmates as well. In addition,
they can try to talk to their teacher for advice on any specific things which need to work on, for example the students may have some words they always say them
wrong. Another suggestion is “Do not be afraid to make mistake.” The more we
speak, the faster we learn.
3. To the Next Researchers
The next researchers who intend to do research in teaching speaking are supposed to see how
students’ motivation affects their oral performance. The new researchers
need to see the topic suggested from students’ point of view since this research has been studied from the teach
er’s point of view. Students’ motivation is considered as one of prominent factor which can increa
se the students’ speaking skill and gets less attention in the study conducted by the writer. In addition, the
future researchers may try to find out how other methods are applicable in teaching speaking.
