1. Speaking Skills

Speaking is one of the language skills that is important because the objective of learning English is to use it in real communication. According to Lado 1962, “speaking ability is described as the ability to express oneself in life situations or the ability to report acts or situations in precise words, or the ability to converse, or to express the sequences of ideas fluently” p. 240. Therefore, the learners were encouraged to be able use the language in the life situation. According to Bygate 2001, “Speaking is physically situated face to face interaction: usually speakers can see each other and so can refer to the physical context and use a number of physical signals to indicate, for instance, attention to interaction, their intention to contribute and their attitude towards what is being said” p. 16. Hence, speaking is produced directly. The aim of this research is to improve speaking skills of XG students in SMA Negeri 1 Kasihan Bantul.

Contextual teaching and learning is the way of teaching that helps teacher and students to relate subject matter to real life situation. It means that teacher should include students’ real world to the classroom so that students can apply the knowledge in a real situation.
