B. Identification of the Problem
In the country where English as foreign language,especially in the real classroom situations in Senior High Schools, teaching speaking has a lot of
difficulties. The first cause was problem with teaching habits and multimedia. The teacher
at the SMA N 1 Pleret just use a book pr ovided by school and library. It was rarely for her to use another material.
The way the teacher explains the material to the students was always same time to the time, explaining at first and doing exam later. Sometimes, the teacher used
power point presentation to explain the topic, but she directly went thorugh the material. This condition created a boring situation in the teaching learning
process. The second problem was the purpose of teaching learning process. When the
researcher did his PPL in the school, the teacher always forced the students to finish the material on time. This teacher‘s purpose may be good since there was
allocated time for each sub material, however, what was the use if the students themselves did not understand the material. There was not enough time for
students to practice or improve their skills. From all statement above, it could be summarized that the purpose of teaching learning process was only to pass the
test, but after the test, the students just forgot what they have learn before the tests.
4 The third was the teacher herself. The teacher in the SMA N 1 Pleret was not
a teacher who was graduated from English department. The teacher‘s basic was
German, which is quite different in all aspect than English.
C. Limitation of the Problem
Based on the description above identifications of the problems, the crucial problem found was
how to improve the students‘ speaking skill by using alternative rock songs in XI Grade Students of SMA N 1 Pleret.
