the class in order to increase students’ speaking fluency level. To measure the students’ speaking fluency level, the researcher uses some research instruments
such as ACTFL proficiency guidelines and speaking fluency rubric. Meanwhile, to increase the students’ speaking fluency level the researcher will try to
implement some teaching techniques which provide communicative activities and which will motivate the students to speak actively during the lesson.
A. Problem Formulation
The research has two problems which can be formulated as follows: 1.
What is the speaking fluency level of the second grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Maos?
