ABSTRACT
Bambang Hirusetyadi, S 891108024, 2013. The Effectiveness of Discussion
Method in Teaching Speaking Skill Viewed from The Students’ Intelligence
Quotient (An Experimental Research on the Tenth Grade of SMA Negeri 7
Purworejo in the Academic Year of 2012/2013). A thesis, English Education
Department of Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. Consultan
I: Dr. Ngadiso, M.Pd; Consultant II: Dra.Dewi Rochsantiningsih, M.Ed. Ph.D.
The aims of this research are to describe whether: (1) Discussion Method
is better than Role-Play Method in teaching speaking skill; (2) The speaking skill
of students having high IQ is better than that of those having low IQ; and(3) There
is an interaction between the methods of teaching and students’ intelligence

quotient.
This experimental research was carried out at SMA Negeri 7 Purworejo
from 26 January 2013 to 25 March 2013. The sample was taken using cluster
sampling from the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 7 Purworejo. The sample
consists of 60 students which are divided into two classes, X.9 consisting of 30
students as an experimental class and class X.8 consisting of 30 students as a
control class. School documents were used to get scores of students’ intelligence
quotient. After treatment was conducted in 8 meeting, the researcher conducted a
speaking test to get the research data. Having got the research data, researcher
analyzed the data in term of their frequency distribution, normality of the sample
distribution, and data homogeneity. Then, researcher used ANOVA test
(multifactor analysis of variance) to test the research hypotheses. Referring to the
summary of multifactor analysis of variance, it can be concluded that: (1)
Discussion method is more effective than role-play method in teaching speaking
skill for the tenth grade of SMAN 7 Purworejo in the Academic Year of
2012/2013; (2) Students having high IQ do not have a significant difference in
speaking skill than those having low IQ for the tenth grade of SMAN 7 Purworejo
in the Academic Year of 2012/2013; and (3) There is no interaction between
teaching methods (discussion and role-play method) and students’ IQ in teaching
speaking skill for the tenth grade of SMAN 7 Purworejo in the Academic Year of

2012/2013.
The result of the research implies that discussion method is a very
effective method to teach speaking skill to the tenth grade students. Therefore it is
recommended that (1) teachers apply the discussion method in teaching speaking
skill because it is proved to be a good method; (2) teachers motivate students to be
more active and involved in the teaching and learning process to improve
speaking skill; and (3) teachers encourage students to explore and develop their
knowledge as a base to speak or convey their opinion and ideas in speaking class
actively.
Key words: Discussion Method, Role-Play, speaking skill, intelligence quotient,
experimental study.
