white board, a cupboard, some fans, some lamps, some windows, a door, and some tables and chairs based on the number of the students.
This research was designed for class VIII A in which there are 28 students. Class VIII A has eleven male students and seventeen female students. They are in
various level of economy, but most of them are in medium level of economy. In the English lesson, many students kept silent. They were reluctant to speak or to
answer the teacher’s question. There was no student who was hyperactive or trouble maker or disturbing others, but sometimes there were some students who
did not pay attention to the teacher very well. 1.
Setting of Time The time to conduct the research would be in the effective time of teaching
and learning in school. It would be in the academic year of 20132014 in the second semester.
C. The Subjects of the Research
The research would be participated by the English teachers, the students, the researcher, and the research collaborator. The English teacher, the researcher and
the research collaborator worked collaboratively to overcome the problems related to speaking skill. They worked together in identifying the problems of the English
teaching and learning process related to the teaching speaking, collecting data, planning the solution, conducting the action in the class, evaluating and reflecting
the use of action done.
D. The Types of Data
This research has two types of data; qualitative data and quantitative data. a.
Quantitative Data The researcher collected the quantitative data in the form of students’ score
during the pre-test and the post-test. b.
Qualitative Data The researcher collected the qualitative data through the observation and
interviews in the form of vignette and interview transcript to describe the implementation of the action process and the changesthe improvement after
implementing the action. The qualitative data were also in the form of observation checklists which would be fullfiled by the English teacher and the research
collaborator.
E. Data Collecting Techniques and the Instruments
The research has some techniques and some instruments to gain both qualitative and quantitative data. The techniques are; a. observation, b. interview,
c.testing, and d. documenting study. a.
Observations The observation was conducted to monitor the teaching-learning process
before, during, and after the actions were implemented. By using this kind of technique, the researcher observed the teaching-learning process directly. The
instrument to collect the data by using this techniques is observation checklists. The result of the observations is in the form of vignette.
b. Interview
By this technique the researcher asked the participants of the research by an in-depth interview which aimed to find out the data that cannot be collected by the
observation before, during, and after the implementation. The interviews were guided, but the researcher was allowed to ask further questions to get more data
from the responses. The instrument to collect the data by using this kind of technique is interview guidelines. The result of the interviews is in the form of
transcript. c.
Testing This technique provides two kinds of test which are pre-test and post-test.
Pre-test was conducted before the implementation of the actions and the post-test was conducted after the implementation of the actions. The pre-test and the post-
test were in the form of performance tests. They were used to measure the students’ speaking skills on the topics taught. Then the researcher and the raters
assessed the students speaking performances using speaking rubric. The data of the pre-test and the post-test were collected in the form of students’ score. The
result of the post-test were calculated and compared with the result of the pre-test. d.
Documenting Study This technique provides data in the form of photographs and videos. The
photographs and the videos were collected by using a digital camera as the instrument. They support the main data of this study.
