5.1 Conclusion
The three cycles in this action research were complete. The research began on 26
th
march and ended on 9
th
April 2011. Having implemented in three cycles, I can conclude that it is effective to use interactive activities to improve students
speaking skills of the tenth grade of SMA N 1 NGADIROJO. The activities were applied to improve students speaking skills in class X at SMA N 1 NGADIROJO
were: 1
Describing Picture Describing picture in the beginning of the lesson could build the english
atmosphere in the classroom. It was also effective as a warming up part to lead the students‟ mind the topic that will be given. This activity also could stimulate the
students to answer the question in English. In second section of picture describing fosters the creativity and imagination of the learners as well as their public
speaking. 2
Playing Cards Game This activity could build their spontaneous of their speech. It was also effective
to make the students speak English. Although the students were still not confident
51
and make some mistakes in pronunciation, they tended to be more active to speak English when they were assigned fun activities.
3 Role play and simulations
This activity used stimulation also. The students were able to speak up and act in front of their friends. This activity same with the previous cycle. They had a
same thing, they were more elaborate. Beside that, they had differences also. In the previous cycle the students only act in front of class, they only act without
used the equipments, but in this cycle students could bring some equipments to the class to create realistic environment. For example, in this cycle there was a
st udent act as a teacher. She brought teacher‟s uniform and shoes. It was very
interesting and gave motivation to the students. I collected the data using observation checklist and recording. Based on
the collecting data, those activities are effective to improve students speaking skills.
