the development of the students speaking ability. To overcome the problems in cycle 1, the researcher did a planning consisting of some steps: 1 make lesson
plans containing the learning teaching process in speaking using Critical Debate Technique in cycle 2; 2 discuss and cooperate with collaborator in order to
succeed the learning teaching process using Critical Debate Technique and everything that would be done in cycle 2; 3 prepare the instruments consisting of
speaking assessment using Critical Debate Technique, observation, and protocol interview.

In this part, the teacher did a set of activities dealing with the teaching learning process  as  mentioned  before.  The  detail  information  about  the  steps  could  be
seen in the following parts: 1
Opening the Class Warming Up In  this  activity,  the  researcher  used  opening  session  to  focus  the  students’
attention.  He  used  greeting  before  beginning  the  lesson.  The  researcher  came  to the  class  and  greeted  them.  He  asked  the  students  about their  condition.  He  also
asked about the students’ attendance.
commit to user 102
Meanwhile, when the teacher warmed up the class, most of them seemed to be ready and strived to answer what the teacher asked. However, there were also
some students who looked un-ready to answer the teacher’ question. For example; the  teacher  asked  a  certain  student  who  looked  mumble  at  him  “
what  are  you whispering?”
The  student  just  said  and  answered  slowly
“ nothing,  sir
The teacher  responded  “
are  you  serious?”
Then  the  student  replied  again  “
Yes,  sir Nothing  serious”
after  that,  the  researcher  continued  to  greet  another  student.  It was last for five minutes.
As  the  teacher  stated  before,  in  doing  this  activity,  the  teacher  moved  on from one student to another to give daily light questions randomly.
2 Presentation surviving the materials
Before explaining
the material,
the teacher
reviewed the
topic that
had been  taught
in the

“ English is the most important tool in globalization era” .
After  that,  the  teacher  explained  about  the  topic  that  related  to  motion  in this case the students were going to present the materials related to passive voice,
asking someone’s opinion and enriching vocabularies concerning with the theme “The  importance  of  English”  and  For  the  detail  information  will  be  explained  in
the following parts:

A: What do you think of school senior high school English teachers? B: In my opinion, senior high school English teachers work hard. They are
not only dedicated to....... A: What is your opinion about English?
B: In my opinion, English is the…….. v
Next step, the researcher gave drill dialogue to the students which sat in the  left  side  as  A  as  the  asking  for  someone’  opinion  and  the  students
sat in the right side as the opposite of A as the responderB. If they were done, they could change their position, A become B and on the contrary.
v In giving the drill, words or expressions utterances, the researcher  could
repeat it one more time if the students got difficulties. After  finishing  the  explanation  and  direction  to  do  activity,  the  next
step  was;  the  class  was  talking  about  those  expressions.  It  meant  that,  if the students had some questions or they did not understand about the topic,
they  could  consult  by  raising  hand  then  conveying  the  question.  In  this session, the researcher gave a chance to the students to ask some questions
if they did not understand the material yet. 3
Practice Practicing Activity In  this  activity,  the  researcher  asked  the  students  doing  a  debate  activity.
The  students  practiced  the  debate  with  the  material  or  the  theme  that  had  been
commit to user 105
given  by  the  teacher.  The  researcher  asked  the  students  to  make  five  groups consisting  of  4  until  6  students  randomly.  The  first  group  for  pro,  second  group
for  contra,  third  group  for  mediator,  the  fourth  group  for  defender  of  the  first group  pro  group  and  the  fifth  group  for  defender  of  the  second  group  contra
group. The students did the debate activity based on the topic that was given by the  teacher.  The  teacher  as  facilitator  provided  the  material,  controlled  the
implementation of debate and gave correction to the students. Before doing debate, the researcher reminded the students the ways to do
critical  debate  and  that  debating  is  not  a  discussion  process  in  which  there  is  no compromised  result  as  in  a  discussion.  The  point  of  having  a  debate  is  to  speak
out  and  listen  to  different  kinds  of  opinions  and  at  the  end  respecting  those differences. In this case, the teacher used a format the same as he did in the first
cycle. Therefore, it is not necessary to explain it in this session. 4
Production In this part, the teacher did almost the same activity as what he did in the
previous  cycle.  Checking  the  students  understanding  on  what  they  had  just learned,  the  teacher  asked  the  students  did  a  debate  activity.  The  teacher  asked
them  to  make  team  about  ten  and  gave  them  the  topic.  There  were  2  debating teams  consisting  of  3  three  debaters  who  would  be  1
st
,  2
nd
,  and  3
rd
speakers  of the  team.  One  team  was  as  affirmative  side-  the  side  agreeing  with  the  motion.
The other team was as the opposition negative side- the side disagreeing with the motion.  Each  speaker  delivered  a  substantial  speech  of  4  four  minutes  in
duration, with the affirmative going first. Afterwards, either the 1
st
or 2rd speaker
commit to user 106
on both sides delivered the reply speeches of 4 four minutes in duration, with the negative going first.
When  the  students  did  the  debate  process,  the  collaborator  observed  the implementation  of  Critical  Debate.  The  observation  was  done  to  gain  or  record
data about aspects or events occurred during the implementation of the technique. She  also  observed  the  teacher’s  activities  and  the  students’  attitudes  during  the
implementation of Critical Debate. 5
Closure closing the class Finishing all the activities, the researcher closed the class by saying “
thanks for  your  attention  in  joining  the  class” .
But  before  closing  the  class,  he  didn’t forget to remind them to study harder in order they could master English speaking
competence better. Besides, he also gave a chance to ask the difficult things that they didn’t understand yet. Then, he told the students the following topic that they
were going to study well. Finally, he said “
good bye, see you next meeting.”
After the class end, some students were informally interview by the teacher about the learning teaching process they had just attended. Students with the data
source S 27 said that: “ Belajar berbicara dengan menggunakan Critical Debate Technique dapat
melatih  pengucapan  kita  menjadi  semakin  baik, dan  penguasaan  kosa-kata juga  semakin  banyak,  siswa  dituntut  untuk  bisa  mengungkapkan
argumentasinya  berdasarkan  pada  pokok  permasalahan  yang  sedang diperdebatkan,  kemudian  kalau  ada  kata-kata  yang  salah  pengucapannya
lansung  dibetulkan  oleh  team  saya.  Speaking  saya  sekarang  bertambah lancar,walaupun  ada  sedikit  kendala  dalam  penyusunan  kata-kata,  yang
penting berani mengungkapkan argumentasi”. Saturday, 12 March 2011
Quite  different  statement  was  stated  by  the  student  with  the  data  source S11, follows:
commit to user 107
“Belajar  speaking  dengan  menggunakan  Critical  Debate  Technique  dapat menambah  ilmu  pengetahuan,  disamping  juga  bisa  melatih  keberanian
untuk  bisa  berbicara  di  depan  kelas,  awalnya  saya  takut    tampil  di  depan kelas,  tapi  karena  dilatih  terus  maka  ketakutan  itu  sirna  begitu  saja,  dan
saya  sekarang  bisa  menyanggah  penyataan  team  lawan  dengan menggunakan  alasan  yang  tepat  sesuai  dengan  masalah  yang  sedang
diperdebatkan.”Saturday, 12 March 2011”
b Second Meeting
The  second  meeting  of  cycle  2  was  conducted  on  Saturday,  12  March 2011, as usual the speaking class was carried out for 90 minutes, 08.45 a.m. until
10.15 a.m. there was a collaborator WDJ and 31 students. In  this  part,  the  teacher  did  a  set  of  activities  dealing  with  the  teaching
learning  process  like  the  first  meeting.  In  this  meeting,  the  teacher  hoped  the students  to  be  better  than  previous  meeting.  They  could  learn  about  their
weaknesses  and  improve  it  because  the  theme  is  still  the  same  as  the  previous theme “
The Importance of English” .
In  this  meeting,  the  activity  consisted  of  five  items  namely  opening  the class  warming  up,  presentation  surviving  the  materials,  practice  practicing
activity,  production  checking  the  students’  understanding  about  the  give materials and closure closing the class. All activities were done in the same way
as what had been done in the first meeting. 1 Opening the Class Warming Up
This  activity  was  not  quite  different  from  the  first  meeting.  The  teacher started  from  opening  session  to  focus  the  students’  attention.  He  used  greeting
before beginning the lesson. The teacher came to the class and greeted them. He asked  the  students  about  their  condition  and  also  checked  about  the  students’
commit to user 108
attendance. He reminded them not to be noise. He gave them a riddle to guess in order to focus their concentration to the topic.
When  the  teacher  opened  the  lesson,  the  students  looked  so  ready  to  join the  lesson.  They  sat  on  their  seat  neatly  and  they  mostly  paid  attention  to  their
teachers  explanation.  However,  on  the  left  side  part  there  were  students  who made a little conversation but they didnt disturb the class at once.
The  teacher  gave  questions  to  check  students  understanding  about  the previous  lesson;  they  mostly  could  answer  it  well.  They  mastered  the  previous
material well. There was no misunderstanding between them. 2 Presentation Surviving the Materials
In  this  part,  the  teacher  only  repeated  the  previous  expressions  by  giving explanation  about  what  the  students  had  learned  before.  It  was  aimed  to  enrich
their  understanding  about the  expressions  dealing  with  the  topic.  In  this  case,  he gave them other expressions. Then the students’ repeated after him loudly. After
that  he  pointed  some  students  to  pronoun  certain  words  related  with  the  motion. When the teacher explained about the topic that related to the motion “
English is the  most  important  tool  in  globalization  era.”
there  was  one  student  raised  her hand. She asked “
Sir, Could you give me the formula of passive voice
?” Then  the  teacher  replied”
yes  of  course,  I  could
,”  here  you  are  Anything else The teacher asked to the students. Because there were no questions anymore,
the teacher continued to next series of activities.

3 Practice Main Activity In this part, the teacher asked the students to repeat their previous topic by
practicing it in front of the class.  In this case, they were asked to produce or use their  own  idea  in  English.  The  teacher  reminded  them  not  to  be  afraid  to  make
mistakes; English was not their own language.  Mistake was common, but later on he  committed  to  correct  their  mistake  especially  five  indicators,  they  were
content,  organization,  grammar,  pronunciations  and  the  last  one  was  fluency. Therefore, once more the teacher reminded them not to be afraid to make mistake.
He also reminded them to do their best. There are 2 teams debating, each consists of 3 three debaters who would
be  1
st
.2rd  and  3
rd
speakers  of  the  team.  One  team  shall  be  affirmative  side-  the side  agreeing  with  the  motion.  The  other  team  shall  be  the  opposition  negative
side- the side disagreeing with the motion. Each speaker will deliver a substantial speech  of  8  eight  minutes  in  duration,  with  the  affirmative  going  first.
Afterwards,  either  the  1

When  the  students  practiced,  they  looked  so  happily  enjoying the  lesson. They  showed  their  good  physical  expression,  no  burden  anymore.  They  looked
excited  to  do  it.  They  express  some  useful  expression  liked
expressing  personal opinions: in my opinion…, from my point of you…, well personally…, what I am
more…, concerned with is…, in my case…, I think …,
those were very important in  doing  critical  debate.  They  didnt  shy  and  doubt  anymore.  They  did  freely
without  any  burden,  they  almost  did  it  perfectly.    Sometimes  their  friend  gave applause too. They returned to their seat again.
Then  the  second  group  continued  practicing  in  front  of  the  class.  When they  practiced  it,  there  was  a  member  who  was  still  a  little  doubt  to  express.
Perhaps,  she-didnt  make  preparation  well  at  home.  She  often  responded  the teacher’s  questions  not  serious,  a  little  bit  lazy.  Her  friend  often  asked  her  to
repeat again by saying
pardon me.
But principally she could practice it well. The last group took turns, this practicing was better than the others group.
There were some useful expressions that they used like
what do you think of …?
What  do  you  think  about…?  In  my  opinion…,  from  my  point  of  view…
those expressions are very importance for students in doing critical debate. There were
no  serious  problems.  They  all  could  practice  them  well.  Only  a  little  problem happened to students just how to express some useful expression.
The  last  but  not  less,  the  students’  willingness  to  master  English  orally increased significant, they could applied it in their real daily life.

latarbelakang  ilmu  pengetahuan  yang  saya  miliki,  Sehingga  saya  sangat senang  mengikuti  tes  speaking,  lagipula  saya  bisa  menyanggah  secara
leluasa  kepada  pihak  lawan,  pihak  alawan  kali  ini  juga  menguasai  topik sehingga  kedua  team  saling  mempertahankan  argumentasi  teamnya

menggunakan alasan  yang logis, sehingga dapat mempertajam nalar kami untuk  bisa  berpikir  kritis,dan  teknik  ini  sangat  menyenangkan  bagi  saya
