3.1.1 Research Setting
The research was conducted at Muntilan State Junior High School 1, Magelang Regency, Central Java. It was a standard school which previously was as a
government-funded school with so-called Rintisan Sekolah Berstandar Internasional A Pilot International Standard School in Magelang Regency. It

The participants of this study were seven grade students of class 7F of Muntilan State Junior High School 1 Academic Year 20142015. This class consisted 23
students. This class was chosen by the English teacher because the score of speaking test of 7F were average among several classes.
3.2 Role of the Researchers
In this study, researcher was as an instrument and a data collector. The other instruments except human could be used only to support the researcher‘s duty as
an instrument. Besides, the researcher was as an observer, so the researcher ought to come to the school and observed the participants.
Before the researcher took some data, the researcher asked permission to the School Principal of Muntilan State Junior High School 1 Academic Year
20142015. Then, after the school principal gave permission, the researcher communicated with the seven grade of English teacher to determine the time and
the class which would be taken as the subject of the researcher‘s study. Next, the English teacher informed the students who would be the subject of the
researcher‘s study to prepare their performance around a week before the deadline.
3.3 Procedure of Data Collection
Data in this study was obtained by conducting classroom observation, recording, and transcribing. Then, the research would analyze the grammatical errors which
the students made. The use of each technique and resulting data to obtain from them could be described as follows:

on was to observe the students‘ monologue speaking test performance. The researcher had prepared observation sheets before
the students performed their presentation. The observation sheets contained name,
class, school, a table for the students‘ transcription and a table which consisted some categories that would be analyzed. The table is simply drawn as below:

pieces of paper to determine the students‘ performance number. The students
chose one of them. The students delivered their presentation in front of the class based on the number one until twenty three. Audio and video recording were used

to collect the data. It helped the researcher to interpret the situation and to transcribe the students‘ text.
After conducting the students‘ performance, the researcher transcribed the data which had been recorded before. Although it was not easy to transcrib the
students‘ presentation, the researcher tried to do it as objective as possible. The students‘ transcriptions were used to analyze the grammatical errors which the
students made. Then, after the researcher had analyzed the grammatical errors of the students monologue speaking test, the researcher concluded the result of the
study. The research framework of this study was simply drown as follows:
