The Teaching and Learning Process for the Control Group

text. Afterwards, the researcher introduced Board Games to the students. Once the explanation was over, the researcher divided the students into some groups which consisted of 6 students and provided the materials a set of Board Games, a dice, 6 thumbtacks needed for playing the games to each group. Since there were 36 students, 6 groups were formed in the classroom. The researcher also explained the rules and the way to play this games to the students. Having finished the explanation, the students played the game. There were 3 layers in a set of Board Games containing some exercises done by the students. On the first layer, the students were expected to state the place of the picture got and listed some related words dealing with the place. On the second layer, the students were expected to mention some recreation places based on the picture got and to tell the feelings of having vacation there. On the last layer, the students were expected to make an outline of the content according to generic structure of a recount text by answering some jumble questions provided. Then, they sequenced the events on the previous task based on the generic structure of the recount text. Finally, they were expected to perform the recount text based on the topic which consisted of approximately 10 sentences orally in 2 minutes. In the second meeting, the teaching and learning activities for the experimental group were similar to those done in the first meeting. However, the researcher also evalu ated the previous students’ results of speaking in telling experiences to share a better understanding so that the students could obtain better scores of speaking in the next meeting. The topic of the second meeting was “Jaya Ancol Dream Land”. Both of the lesson plans of the teaching learning process applied in the first and second meetings can be seen on Appendices C D.

4.1.2 The Teaching and Learning Process for the Control Group

In this research, the control group was also taught twice. The control group was class VIII F of SMPN 4 Jember which consisted of 36 students. The teaching and learning process was conducted on May, 14 th and 19 th 2015. The material taught to the control group was the same as that to the experimental group, that is about telling experiences orally. However, the control group was taught speaking without using media, Board Games. First, in the way of helping the student recall their prior knowledge about the recount text, the researcher delivered some leading questions to lead the students to know the topic discussed. The topic of the first meeting was “Vacation in Aunt’s House”. Then, on the main activities, the researcher also reviewed the material of a recount text. Afterwards, the researcher gave exercises to the students. First, the researcher asked the students to mention some recreation places dealing with the topics given and to choose one of the recreation places that they liked most. Then, the students had to list some related words dealing with the place chosen. Second, the researcher asked them to tell the feelings of having vacation there. Last, the students were expected to outline content according to the generic structure of a recount text based on their experiences and then they sequenced the events on the previous task based on the generic structure of a recount text. Finally, they were expected to perform the recount text which consisted of approximately 10 sentences orally in 2 minutes. The teaching and learning activities to the control group in the second meeting were similar from those in the first meeting. However, the researcher also evaluated the previous students’ results of speaking in telling experience to share a better understanding so that the students could obtain better scores of speaking in the next meeting. Besides, the topic of the second meeting was different. The topic was “Jaya Ancol Dream Land”. Both of the lesson plans of the teaching learning process applied in the first and second meetings can be seen on Appendices C D.
