Comprehension The Elements of Speaking

and yet bear a high level of personal responsibility. It helps develop teamwork and cooperative learning skills within all students and a depth of knowledge not possible if the students learn all of the material on them own. Finally, since students are supposed to report their own findings to the home group in jigsaw learning, it quite often discloses a student’s own understanding of a concept as well as reveal any misunderstandings. The Jigsaw technique is different from other techniques, especially with Grammar translation. In Grammar Translation Method the point of teaching is grammatical and vocabulary like Brown said “The Grammar Translation Method requires few specialized skills on the part of teachers. Tests of grammar rules and of translations are easy to construct and can be objectively scored. Many standardized tests of foreign languages still do not attempt to tap into communicative abilities, so students have little motivation to go beyond grammar analogies, translations, and rote exercises.” 18 it means Grammar Translation Method is not to concentrate in communication learning. The students only focus on understanding of grammar and translation of sentence. the most fundamental reason for learning the language is give learners access to English literature, develop their minds mentally through foreign language learning, and to build in them the kinds of grammar, reading, vocabulary and translation skills necessary to pass any one of a variety of mandatory written tests required at High School or Tertiary level. It is very contradict with Jigsaw Technique which is focus in communication in learning. Jigsaw Technique is cooperative learning which guides students for interact actively and positively in group. It is allowed creativity in learning. The understanding of grammar and translation is not be a main focus in here but not mean not to learn in Jigsaw technique, the understanding of grammar and translation is learnt naturally on the practice of communication. The last difference among Grammar Translation Method is center of learning of Jigsaw are students, the teacher just give facility to student to understand naturally. 18 Sylva Duchá čková, Methods And Approaches In Foreign Language Teaching, Masaryk University Brno: Department Of English Language And Literature,2006, p. 9.
