Kata Kunci: Kemampuan Berbicara, Perlombaan Bahasa Inggris di Kelas, Penelitian
Tindakan Kelas.
Berbicara adalah kecakapan yang paling penting untuk dikuasai oleh
pembelajar bahasa. Pembelajar bahasa seharusnya mampu berbicara bahasa inggris
dengan lancar dan baik karena bahasa lisan adalah saluran komunikasi yang utama
dalam bahasa. Akan tetapi, mereka mengalami kesulitan untuk meningkatkan
kemamapuan berbicara karena mereka terbiasa berkomunikasi menggunakan bahasa
asli daripada menggunakan bahasa inggris didalam kesehariannya. Hal ini juga terjadi
pada siswi kelas XI MA NU Banat Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 khususnya dikelas
XI bahasa. Para siswa mengalami kesulitan praktek berbicara, beberapa siswa takut
aktif berbicara, terutama ketika guru meminta mereka mengingat cerita dan
membicarakannya. Untuk itu, teknik pengajaran berbicara yang sesuai diperlukan
untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa. Salah satu teknik pengajaran
adalah perlombaan bahasa ingris di kelas.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah (1) untuk menemukan bahwa perlombaan
bahasa inggris dikelas dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara pada kelas XI MA
NU Banat Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014. (2) untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang
respon siswa pada kemampuan berbicara pada kelas XI MA NU Banat Kudus tahun
ajaran 2013/2014 dengan menggunakan perlombaan bahasa inggris dikelas.
Peneliti melaksanakan penelitian ini pada siswi kelas XI MA NU Banat
Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas.
Penelitian ini terdiri dari dua siklus dan tiap siklus memiliki instrumen yang meliputi:
observasi dan tes. Disamping itu, penulis juga menerapkan desain penelitian dalam
tiap siklus adalah sebagai berikut: perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan
refleksi.
Nilai rata-rata pada kemampuan berbicara siswa pada siklus I adalah 78.75
(78.75%). Pada siklus II, nilai rata-rata kemampuan berbicara siswa 83.15 (83.15%).
Ada perkembangan aktivitas siswa dengan menggunakan teknik perlombaan bahasa
inggris di kelas dalam tiap siklus. Pada siklus 1, beberapa siswa terlihat berbicara
dengan teman sebangkunya. Ketika guru meminta mereka untuk maju kedepan dan
xi
menceritakan kembali teks narrative di depan kelas, seorang siswa maju kedepan
untuk praktik meskipun dia terlihat takut. Pada siklus 2, para siswa tidak merasa takut
lagi untuk menceritakan kembali teks narrative didepan kelas. Para siswa terlihat
sangat antusias mengikuti pelajaran dan terlihat menikmati proses pengajaran
pembelajaran.
Perlombaan bahasa inggris di kelas dapat meningkatkan kemapuan berbicara
siswa. Jadi, para guru disarankan untuk memilih Pertandingan bahasa inggris di kelas
sebagai salah satu teknik dalam proses pengajaran bahasa inggris untuk
meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa. Perlombaan bahasa inggris di kelas
memberikan kesempatan siswa untuk menggunakan bahasa mereka. Ini adalah
sebuah teknik pengajaran bahas inggris yang munculnya untuk mendorong siswa
