c. Post activity
After all students had finished their presentation, the researcher asked them about the mistakes they found during the presentation. The students
mentioned some of mispronounce words that had been made by their friends, and the researcher wrote those mispronounce words on the white
board. After the students finished mentioning the mispronounce words, the researcher asked them how to pronounce those words correctly. The reason
why the researcher did this activity was because the researcher wanted to correct students pronunciation. After fixing students pronunciation, the
researcher shared students’ learning perception questionnaire and asked the students to answer all questions in the questionnaire. After the students
finished answering the questionnaire, the researcher asked the students to submit the questionnaire and end the meeting.
3.4.3. Observation and Interpretation
In this stage, the researcher observed the activities in the teaching learning process and took some notes related with students learning activities.
Observation was done to find the problem in the teaching learning process, so that problem would not occur in the second cycle. Observation and
interpretation toward the action in the class were done together in this stage. The researcher also took necessary notes to support the data.
After the researcher observed students’ activities and took some notes, the researcher gave the students the questionnaire which consist of 30
questions related to their learning activities using information transfer task.
3.4.4. Analysis and Reflection
This was the last stage of each cycle that would be conducted in this research. In this stage, the researcher analyzed the result of speaking test
that had been done by the students before, in activities as the learning product. Then, the researcher would also analyze the result of the
questionnaire that had been filled up by the students after the treatment in order to know students perception about the effect of information transfer
task in their speaking class. In analyzing, the reflection would be made to find out the strength and the
weakness of implementing information transfer task in the first cycle. This stage was done to decide the next step that would be taken in this research
and whether the next cycle would be conducted or not.
3.5. Indicators of Success
There were two indicators that would be used in this research, they were learning product and learning process. Learning product contained of the information of
students’ speaking score while learning process contained of the information of the students’ perception related to learning activities through information transfer
task. The detail information of those two indicators will be explained bellows:
a. Learning Product
The indicator of the learning product was based on the improvement of students’ speaking ability. The target of this research is more than 70 of
the subjects reached the minimum score in the speaking test. Which meant their speaking ability is improve after being taught using information
transfer task. The minimum score that was decided by the researcher is 70. It is the same as the minimum comprehensiveness criteria KKM of
English course for the second grade at SMPN 3 Batanghari. In other words from 26 subjects at least 19 of them get 70 or more.
If the target had been reached it means that the technique that was applied by the researcher in the speaking class is applicable to improve students’
speaking ability. In this learning product the researcher focused with the product that was made by the students which in this case was oral
language that was made by the students through information transfer task. Then the researcher would record students’ voice while they were
producing oral language in front of the class
b. Learning Process
In the learning process, the teacher gained the data of the learning process through questionnaire that had been filled up by the students. Through this
questionnaire the researcher also knew the perception of the students after learning through information transfer. The questionnaire consisted of 10
steps of the teaching learning process through information transfer task, and for each step there were 3 questions that have to be answered by the
students related with the teaching learning activities in speaking class. So, it can be concluded that there were 30 questions in the questionnaire. If the
result of the questionnaire consists more than 70 of students stated that they could reach better learning activities and enjoy the learning process, it
means that this research has reached the target and information transfer
task is a good technique that can be applied by English teacher in the speaking class in order to improve students’ speaking ability.
3.6. Instrument of the Research
There were two instruments that were used by the researcher in collecting the data of the research; they are speaking test and questionnaire. The detail explanations
of those two instruments will be explained bellows:
a. Speaking Test
The first instrument that was used in this research was speaking test. This instrument was used to collect the data in each cycle. In this speaking test the
students speaking ability was assessed by the researcher and her partner during teaching learning process. The students were asked to present the
information they had gotten from the non-linguistic media that had been distributed by the teacher before. These non-linguistic medias would be taken
from internet and the type of materials was chosen from current curriculum of the second grade of Junior High School which were suitable with the
curriculum that was used in the school, which was KTSP. The students would be given 30 minutes to analyze and understand their non-linguistic media in
order to transfer the information from the picture and chart into spoken language. Then the students were asked to present their speaking ability in
front of the class using this information transfer task.
While the students doing their task, the researcher observed their activities, took some notes and recorded their voice in order to create objective
