1 Using classroom English
Classroom English was planned to be used during the teaching and learning process in order to accustom the students to English words. By using classroom
English, the students were expected to have opportunities to speak English in the class. However, Indonesian translation was used in some difficult aspects such as
in giving instructions and explaining materials. This consideration was based on the observation and interviews results. The students said that they did not understand
when the teacher gave explanation with using English all the time.
2 Applying Numbered Heads Together strategy
Numbered Heads Together strategy was applied to facilitate the students’
speaking practice in every cycle of this research. The strategy can encourage the students to express themselves and to interact with each other orally. The strategy
can also develop the essential skills of cooperation and communication by giving them opportunities to work together.
First, each student was given a handout about the learning material. The students read the handouts in order to understand the learning materials. The
researcher also gave a brief explanation about the learning material to make them have better understanding. Then, the students were divided into 8 groups in which
each group was consisted of 5 students. Each student was also given a number 1 - 5. After the students were already in their group, they worked together to answer
questions and tasks given by the researcher. Each group should also ensure that each member of the group can know the answers.
Then, a number was called. The students with the number from each group prepared the answers which had been discussed in their groups. They were expected
to present their group answers in front of the class. The other groups gave feedback and suggested any opinion if they had different answers.
The researcher also gave feedback and explanation to all groups’ answers
were given. After that, conclusion was made.
3 Providing listening and interactive activities
Some activities were provided in order to help the students understood the materials. A listening activity was given to make the students more aware of the
pronunciation and the intonation of English words. The listening activity was given in the form of a piece of paper that contained with complete and incomplete
dialogues. An interactive activity was also provided. The activity was in form of game. Game activity can help the students be more motivated and be interested to
learning speaking.
