A. Review of Related Theory
1. Theory of Speaking Skill a. Definition of speaking skill
Many definitions about speaking have been proposed by language experts. Brown 1994:267-269 defines that speaking is
an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving, and processing information. Meanwhile
Ladouse in Nunan, 1991 describes speaking as an activity which expresses the ability of oneself in the situation, or the activity to
report acts, or situation in precise words or the ability to converse or to express a sequence of ideas fluently. These definitions
emphasize that the researcher can interpret that speaking is an important skill or ability to produce and express ideas when people
are at the interactive speaking situation.
