e. Types of Spoken Test
According to Thornbury 2007: 126 there are some types of spoken test. The first is interview. McNamara 1999 stated that interview is useful to get story
from the participants’ experiences. The interviewer can also get deep information from the participants related to the topics. By giving information to the
interviewer, the learners learn to response the answer quickly. It needs to be spontaneous to response the questions. The second is monologue. A monologue is
an extended speech by one person. When students are given opportunities to do monologues, it means that the students learn how to develop the topic of the
monologue. It becomes a story or a speech which can be accepted by the listeners. The third is recorded monologues. There is a difference between
monologue and recorded monologue. The difference between monologue and recorded monologue is that recorded monologue is a monologue which is
recorded. So the speakers can re-play their monologue to get feedback and to know their mistakes. The forth is role plays. Role-play is what you do when you
are pretending to be another person and using your imagination to speak, think and even feel like that characters. If the learners use their imagination to speak, it
trains their speaking skill to create their imagination becomes something real and entertaining.

f. Factors Which Help Students in Speaking
According to Harmer 2004, there are three factors that help students in speaking. The first is preparation. Preparation is an important factor if students
want to have better performances in their speeches. They need time to think what they are going to say. They need more practices in speaking because English is a
foreign language. English is not their mother tongue, so they are not accustomed to speak English. As cited in Harmer 2004, Mennim 2003 states that before
final presentation, the students’ preparation are to record what they are going to make, transcribe what they want to say and correct the recordings.
The second reason is the value of repetition Harmer, 2004. Repetition is an important factor because repetition lets students to improve what they already did.
When they repeat their tasks one or twice, it is their rehearsal for final effort. Repetition makes them be more confident because they got chance to analyze and
improve what they have done. The following figure shows the process of speaking which is described by Howarth 2001.

The researcher would explain how those theories are used in this study. In this study, a theory from Tarigan 1990: 8 which says that speaking is a way of
communication that influence our life would be used to implement that students need to train their speaking skill because it can influence their life. Besides, the
