3.6.1 Transcribing the Students’ Speaking Test

The first step in analyzing the data was to transcribe the stud ents’ speaking test such as pre-test, cycle tests, and post-test. The spoken data were transcribed verbatim, it meant the transcription includes silence and some strange voices produced by the speaker. 3.6.2 Scoring the Students’ Productions The next step that the researcher did after transcribing the students’ speaking test was scoring to the test based on the six speaking components. They were grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, pronunciation, and content. The researcher gave the score based on Brown 2004:172 scoring model in the following table: Table 3.2 Table of Speaking Scoring Score Grammar Vocabula ry Comprehe nsion Fluency Pronunci ation Task 1 Errors in grammar are frequent Speaking vocabular y inadequate to express anything Could ask and answer question topic very familiar to him No specific descriptio n Errors in pronunciat ion are frequent but could be understoo d Can understand simple questions and statements if delivered with slow speech, repetition, and paraphrase 2 Accent usually the constructi on, but does not confident control of Has speaking vocabular y sufficient to express the idea Able to satisfy routine social demands and work requirement Could handle with confidence but not including casual Accent is intelligible though often quite faulty Can get the idea of most conversation of non specialized knowledge the grammar s conservati ons 3 Control of grammar is good and able to speak with sufficient structural accuracy Vocabular y is broad enough that rarely has to grope for a world Could participate effectively in most formal and informal conversatio ns Could discuss particular interest of competenc e with reasonable words Errors never interfere with understand ing Comprehensi on is quite complete at a normal rate of speech 4 Errors in grammar are quite rare and able to speak accurately Could understand and participate in any conversati on.
