1. Implementation of Role Play
This part answered the first research question stated in the first chapter. The first research question was
“How is the role play technique implemented in speaking II class?” The researcher answered this research question by conducting
an observation in class F of Speaking II class. In conducting the observation, the researcher used a checklist to collect the important data about how Role Play was
developed in Speaking II class. From the observation, the researcher identified that the students did good
preparation before performing the play. They even brought some properties to support their performance. Some groups used power point and the other groups
brought some electronic tools such as blender, and others. They also wore costume and make up to support their characters in the play. As stated by
Littlewood 1981, in role playing, the learners are asked to imagine that they were in the real situation that happens in the daily life. Then, they are asked to
adopt a specific role from the situation and act as if they were in that situation. From the facts which were taken from the observation, it was concluded that the
students were well prepared in performing their play. The researcher also identified that while performing the play, the students
were cooperative; not only in their group but also to the other groups. They paid a lot of attention while the other groups performed the play. The researcher also
identified that every group had good teamwork. They helped each other during the performance. They gave some clues if there waswere group members who
forgot the dialogue or forgot what should be done during the performance. The
