teaching material. There is not any handbook to support the teaching English. The English teacher only

3. Students’ interest
The students’ interest is low in learning English, especially in speaking. They think that English speaking is difficult to learn since it is not
their daily language. Besides, they should remember various vocabularies and the way to pronounce it. Therefore, the writer applied game to make the
learning process more interesting. Besides, the writer gave reward to the active students.

The main problem in teaching English speaking is the mother tongue interference
since it determines the students’ pronunciation. Pronunciation is the most important
skill that should be mastered in improving students’ speaking ability. All of the students of grade 5 use Javanese language as
their daily communication, so they can not pronounce every word given by the teacher properly. To solve this problem, the writer asked the students to
repeat after the teacher pronounced that word. This was done for many times to get the right pronunciation.
