1.4 Objectives of the Study

Based on the formulated problems above, the following are the objectives of the research: 1. to describe the process of applying the combination of Quartet and Dart games in improving the speaking skills of the eighth grade of SMP N 3 Petarukan Kabupaten Pemalang. 2. to find out how effective using the combination of Quartet and Dart games in improving the speaking skills of the eighth grade of SMP N 3 Petarukan Kabupaten Pemalang.

1.5 Hypotheses

There are two hypotheses in this study. The first hypothesis is the working hypothesis H 1 . The second hypothesis is the null hypothesis H . H 1 : The combination of Quartet and Dart games is effective to improve students ‟ speaking skills. H : The combination of Quartet and Dart games is not effective to improve students‟ speaking skills.

1.6 Limitations of the Study

In this research, I focused on improving students ‟ speaking skills, especially in a spoken monologue descriptive text by using the combination of Quartet and Dart games. Students of junior high school consist of three levels. I chose the eighth grade students of SMP N 3 Petarukan in the academic year of 20142015. I used VIII A class as experimental class and VIII B as try-out class. I focused on pre – experimental research design because I only used one group as sample. Using one group as the experimental group resulted in limitating the validity of the research. Another limitation was that three raters who gave scores in the speaking tests might have not been easy to avoid subjectivity and bias. I applied the combination of Quartet and Dart games for treatment activity. The result of this experimental study was not meant to be generalized. It only applied to the subjects and the context of the current study.

1.7 Significance of the Study

Based on the objectives of the study, I hope that the results of this study have implications as follows: 1 For the teacher For the teacher who teaches this class or for general teachers The study gives an inspiration for English teachers to teach speaking by using the combination of Quartet and Dart games. Teachers can apply this technique in their teaching speaking to make the students more understand tha n just teach by using students‟ worksheet LKS in which it will make the students feel bored. 2 For the students The students will have experiences and alternative ways to learn English easier considering the demands of curriculum and more fun with regard to the students‟ learning style. Therefore, this experience can be applied in their learning in their class, especially in speaking activity. 3 For the researcher This study can develop the researcher‟s knowledge and experiences about teaching speaking skills using the combination of Quartet and Dart games. 4 For future researchers This study can give an inspiration for future researchers to conduct further the next experiments which are useful for students to learn English.
