becoming a counselor for students. Students must take parts in every activity in classroom with guidance from the teacher because with a t
eacher‟s guidance, students can feel more secure, confident, and not fear to make a mistake.
Students can successfully do an oral communication not only depend on their competence but also because of the appropriate method that is used by a
teacher that makes the students feel comfortable. Based on the elaboration above, I want to know the effectiveness of using
Community Language Learning CLL in improving students‟ mastery in
speaking skill for transactional conversation. I limit the research by focusing on the use of a
tape recorder to record the students‟ conversation in improving speaking skill especially for transactional conversation. In this case, I want to
assert that CLL is effective to improve the students‟ mastery in speaking skill for
transactional conversation.

high school graduates who still cannot communicate well in English.

conversation.
