1. Planning
Having identified speaking problem faced by XG students of SMA N 1 Kasihan Bantul, the researcher began to do classroom action research to help XG
students of SMA N 1 Kasihan Bantul improve their speaking skill using CTL. In this step, the researcher prepared the lesson plan and the materials. The lesson
plan was based on seven components of CTL namely: constructivism, inquiry, learning community, modeling, authentic assessment, and reflection.
a. Constructivism
In this stage, the researcher planned to make clues about today’s topic. The researcher planned to give compliments to the students about their appearances
and surrounding things. These activities aimed to give the students view about what they were going to do in class.
b. Inquiry
In this stage, the researcher planned to show pictures of famous artists. Then the researcher asked the students’ opinion about the pictures. The researcher
also planned to give cultural differences between American and Indonesian in giving and responding to compliments. The aims of these activities were to help
the students relate the material with their real world context and build their knowledge about giving and responding to compliments.
c. Learning Community
In this stage, the researcher planned to ask the students to work in pairs. In learning community, the researcher tried to apply cooperative learning and
problem-based learning. The students were encouraged to work together with their
32
partner to solve the problem relating to the topic material which was giving and responding to compliments.
d. Modeling
The researcher planned to give model of the dialogue expressing and responding to compliments. The aims of these activities were to help the students
have clearer understanding toward the dialogue and the expression used in giving and responding to compliments. The researcher was not the only one model. In
this stage, the researcher involved the students to be model in modeling the dialogue.
e. Questioning
In this stage, the researcher tried to encourage the students to ask questions in order to gain information. In post activities, the researcher planned to have
questions and answer session. It was to ensure that the students had understood the topic material.
f. Authentic Assessment
The researcher planned to ask the students to make a dialogue with their partner and perform it in the next meeting. This activity aimed to encourage the
students to work with their partner. In the next meeting, the students would perform the dialogue they had made. While one group performed in front of the
class, the other groups would take note about the performance. After one performance ended, one group would give comment related to the performance
that had been seen. The group who would give comment was chosen randomly. The aims were to make the students pay attention to their friends’ performances

and encourage them to participate in assessing their friends’ performance. The best pair performance would receive a prize. This aimed to motivate the students
to do their best in making and performing their dialogue. The best performance was chosen by class.
