The arrangement of topics then sub-topic was based on the theory proposed by Bygate Carter, R and Nunan, D, 2001 related to nature and conditions of speech
which involves four processes, namely conceptualisation, formulation, articulation and self-monitoring. Conceptualisation draws its attention on planning the message
content, in which it concerns with the background knowledge, knowledge about the topic, about the speech situation and on knowledge patterns of discourse.
Therefore, the topics were selected based on the students’ background
knowledge of health which was also based on the selection of topics provided in the syllabus. It is also supported by the result of the need analysis which showed
that their background knowledge of learning English about nursing was categorised as high 3.62.

As stated previously, the arrangement of the topic and sub-topics were based on the theory of speech by Bygate Carter, R Nunan, D, 2001. In addition, the
arrangement was also considered speaking techniques principles based on Brown 2001, as stated previously in chapter II, which consist of seven principles. Those
are: the techniques should cover the spectrum of learners’ need, from language- based focus on accuracy to message-based focus in interaction, meaning and

fluency; it should provide motivation technique; it encourages the use of authentic language in meaningful contexts; it provides feedback and correction that are
appropriate for the learners; it needs to provide natural link between speaking and listening; it should give opportunities for the learners to initiate oral communication
and the last, it should encourage the learners to develop speaking strategies.
