c. Teaching Speaking for
XI AP Students of SMK BOPKRI 1 Yogyakarta
Teaching speaking for XI AP class of SMK BOPKRI 1 Yogyakarta is important because in the future, the students will deal with their working world
that needs the employees to master English for communication. In the school, the students must practice more in pronunciation in order to be able to speak English
correctly. Based on Brown 2004, there are four kinds of speaking assessments that can be implemented in the classroom. Those are interview, dialogues or
conversation, role play, and games.
1 Interview
McNamara 1999 states that interviews are particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant’s experiences and views. The interviewer can pursue
in-depth information around the topic. Interviews may be useful as follow-up to certain respondents to further investigate their responses. In interview session, the
teacher has an interaction with students of XI AP directly to dig some information about the students understanding on the materials given.
2 Dialogue or Conversation
According to Passi and Passi n.d, dialogue is a technique of communication among people p. 2. Dialogue is a way of people in having
18 communication. In common sense, “dialogue is defined as a process of
conversation between two or more persons for exchanging opinions or ideas” Passi Passi n.d.
Dialogues for social awareness mean that dialogues will happen in the society when people need to ask and answer someone’s questions. In this case, the
students are aware that they have to make a dialogue with others. Dialogues for education mean that dialogues are needed when students are learning something.
For example in a learning process in classroom, the researcher will have dialogue or conversation with the students when they are discussing materials. The
researcher will make a dialogue to give questions to the students. Dialogues will happen between the researcher and students or between the student and student.
Dialogue is very important to be applied in the teaching process in XI AP class. The researcher and the students need to communicate with each other using
dialogue so there will be a communication that exists in the classroom.
3 Role Play
Based on Paultson and Bruder 1967 role play is an exercise where the students are assigned a role as someone in an imagining situation which is not real
p. 70. So in the role play session, the students of XI AP class are expected to perform a situation that is not the real condition of the students. According to
Nunan 2003, the students can be the other person and imagine that they are the characters in the context p. 57. In the study, the students of XI AP class are given
roles in target language. It is possible for the students to communicate with others in role play session.

4 Games
In doing games, the students are expected to get themselves actively in the learning activities. Brown 2004 states that the students follow the rule of the
game while learning English, especially in speaking p. 175. Game is almost similar with role play which requires the students to have communication with
others. The researcher does not apply any kinds of games in the learning process of the study. It was because the researcher will employ role-play to the students’
speaking activity.
