interest them to gain their confidence. One of media that can be used in teaching and learning speaking is animation movies.
B. Identification of the Problems
Based on the background of the study above, it is revealed that there are some influential problems in teaching and learning speaking skill. In identifying
the problems, I observed the teaching-learning processes in the classroom. Based on the observation in the teaching-learning English at SMP N 1 Kebonagung on
September 2014, there were some problems that can be identified as follows. The first problem is related to the students. The students had low enthusiasm
in learning English. They learned English only in the classroom when their teacher taught them. They thought that learning is an activity that occured in the
classroom. They did not like to learn English outside the classroom. Their enthusiasm to learn English can be categorized as low.
Most of them were unaware that English was very important in human life nowadays. They treated English as one of subjects that must be learned to help
them graduated from the school. They were not enthusiastic to acquire English as their need to face the globalization. They were still unaware what they would face
the future by using English. The second problem is related to learning materials. The materials that were
given to students were not enough. They only learned from the reference book or LKS. It made the students lacked of practice. Besides, the students were not able
to speak appropriately in their speaking activity. Using another sources could help the students gain more information about the material. It influenced the
students’
ability in speaking, because when they lacked of knowledge, they cannot practice well.
Besides the reference book, the frequency of practice is important. Speaking is a productive skill in which we produce the product or output. If they practiced
more, they could speak better and even fluently. The problem was the frequency of speaking practice was not enough to support the students in order to achieve the
goal of teaching-learning process. The third problem is related to the media. The media that were used by the
teacher were less attractive. The teacher usually used LCD and laptop to present the materials. The material itself was usually in the form of powerpoint. Then the
teacher presented it to the students while giving explanation. It made students bored and not interested towards the material.
For the spoken material like speaking, the teacher just showed some dialogues or conversations from books or internet. Then the teacher asked the
students to practice them in front of the class. But not all the materials given by the teacher were practiced by the students. So they did not get all the theories
about language function in speaking. The last problem is related to the teacher method. The method that was used
by the teacher was less varied. A good way of delivering the material was the key for the teacher to make their students understand the material and it would make
the learning process became successful. The students were not enthusiastic and interested with teaching method that less varied.
The students’ attitude toward the target language influenced the output of the target language if the input is not good. The students will have a good attitude
toward the target language if they are interested with their teacher’s way in delivering the material.
