CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS

A. The Result of Pre Implementation of the Action

1. The Result of Interview

The interview was held on Thursday, January 13 th 2010 started at 15.10 and finished at 16.00. The writer asked to the teacher some questions which were divided into three categories of question, they are: the general condition of class, the difficulty in speaking skill, and the strategy used by the teacher in teaching speaking. First category discussed the general condition of class especially in speaking class. The teacher said that the most of students did not like studying English, because it is difficult lesson and they sometimes gained low competence in English. The teacher also said that speaking is the most difficult skill to be learned in VII.2 grade, because most of them were hardly to pass the target score of the minimal mastery level criterion KKM. Second category is the difficulty in speaking skill. The teacher said that the students’ difficulties in speaking lied on pronouncing the word or sentence, self confidence, and organizing the word into a sentence, and this caused by less in practice English speaking. The last category is the strategy used by the teacher in teaching English speaking. The teacher said that she has never used role play in teaching the students, she usually teaches speaking by introducing new dialogue to the students, then she reads the dialogue, while the students repeat it together, and then she give the meaning of the dialogue.

2. The Result of Observation

This observation was conducted in order to know the teaching learning process directly before implementing the Classroom Action Research CAR. Based on the observation notes conducted on Monday, 10 th January 2011 at 12.30, it was known that in teaching speaking at the VII-2 grade students of SMPN 251 in the 20102011 academic year, the teacher used dialogue-based learning technique, in which she gave students dialogue and asked students to read the dialogue and then perform in the front of the class in pair. In this case, students only read a dialogue, give it meaning and then perform with their partner. They have never told the usage of expressions they are practicing. Furthermore, students have never been given chances to expose their ability to speak and to develop a more communicative conversation using their own way. see appendix 8 for more detail The use of strategy like this would be an ongoing problem for students in learning and understanding oral English usage. Moreover, students whose vocabulary were limited which unable them to say anything to communicate. It brings about silent toward student and is lacking in speaking ability primarily in using expression likely in real communication. 3. The Result of Questionnaire The questionnaire was conducted to know the students’ response in teaching learning process, the students’ result of speaking activity, and the solution of the problem in teaching speaking. Based on the result of questionnaire before the implementation of CAR, the writer likes to give some explanations: from the first statement they are 30 78.94 students did not feel satisfied with their score and only 8 21.05 students who feel satisfied. The statement number 2, showed only 10 26.31 students who like to learn English speaking and 28 73.68 students did not like to learn English speaking. Relating to the statement number 3, 30 78.94 students did not feel motivated in learning English speaking, it means that only 8 21.05 students who feel motivated in learning English speaking. In statement number 4, 32 84.21 students feel difficult in speaking English and 6 15.78 students feel easy in speaking English. Then, in the statement number 5, 12 31.57 students said that the sentences were thought is suitable in their daily life, and 26 68.21 students said the sentences were thought did not suitable in their daily life. The response for the statement number 6, showed that only 8 21.05 students used their opportunity to asked the question, and 30 78.94 students did not use their opportunity to asked the question. In the statement number 7 to 8, showed that 38 100 students did not feel that the teacher gave opportunity to the students to do an exercise in English speaking especially in giving interpersonal response, and 38 100 students seldom used English language in speaking class. For the statement number 9 to 10 the students leave it in the blank because the Classroom Action Research have not implemented yet. See appendix for detail result of questioner Related to the result of questionnaire, it could be concluded that the students’ activity and motivation in learning English speaking is still low, there also needed to improve the students’ positive response after the implementation of the action. Therefore the CAR was done.

4. The Result of Pre Test

The pre-test was conducted on the 17 th and 20 th January 2011 to measure students’ speaking ability at first, and it was done before implementing Classroom Action Research. At pre- test, the students’ speaking ability was not so good. It could be seen from the table list here in test speaking evaluation.
