CHAPTER III THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RESEARCH
A. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1. Purpose of the Study
This study is aimed to: a.
Know the students’ interest in speaking and their speaking score. b.
Know the relationship between students’ interest in speaking and their speaking score.
2. Place and Time of the Study
The research of this study was held at MTsN Parung. It is located on Jl. Raya Parung-Bogor Kp. Lebakwangi Bogor. This research was
started on 14
th
March to 25
th
April 2009. It was conducted at the eighth year students of MTsN Parung.
3. The Method of the Research
In doing this research, the writer uses quantitative approach by using correlational study as its method. In this method, she measures
students’ interest in speaking by distributing 25 item questions rega
rding with students’ interest in speaking. After she got the score of students’ interest in speaking, she took
the students’ speaking score. The speaking score was taken from the document of speaking test. It was taken from the two dialogues which
are performed by the students. After that, she analyzed the research by using Pearson Correlation
Product Moment to know the result.
4. Technique of Sample Taking
In this research, the writer took the population from the eighth year students of MTsN Parung. The whole population of second class is
about 367 students, which is divided into eight classes. Because the population is homogenous, the sample is taken only one
class; consisting of 50 students in VIII.3 class. The writer used a purposive sampling to get representative data.
5. Technique of Data Collecting
a. Questionnaire The writer gave questionnaire to the respondent related to students’
interest in speaking. The questionnaire is adopted from internet written by Suhadi.

The questionnaire have three indicators, they are: enjoyment, attention, and curiosity. It also used the Likert scale, which
contain five alternatives of answer namely, “strongly agree sangat setujuSS, agree setujuS, in doubtRagu-ragu ®, disagree tidak
setujuTS, Strongly disagree Sangat Tidak SetujuSTS. For positive items the SS is given score 5, the S is given score 4, the R is
given score 3, the TS is given score 2, and the STS is given score 1. In contrast, for negative items, the SS is given score 1, the S is given
score 2, the R is given score 3, the TS is given score 4, and STS is given score 5.

b. Speaking Test As a research instrument to know the students’ score, the writer
together with the English teacher gave speaking test. The test was based on the lesson that the students had learned. It was dialogue practice that
they had to perform in front of the class. It was about the expressions had to be mastered by the student at the second term of the second
grade. Such as giving and asking opinion, asking and giving information, asking and offering help, and so on.
6. Technique of Data Analysis
This analysis is to see whether there is relationship between score of students’ interest in speaking and their speaking score.
In this analyze, the writer used the formula of correlation product moment.

The formula is:
Note: :
Correlation coefficient between students’ interest and their
speaking score N
: Number of Respondents X
: Distribution of students’ interest score

Y : Distribution of students’ speaking score
: Total score of students’ interest distribution : Total score of students’ speaking score distribution
: Total numbers of X multiplied by Y : Guarded from X
: Guarded from Y
Significant critical value : 0.05 and 0.01
Criteria : If ro rt means there is correlation and H α is accepted, Ho is rejected.
If ro rt means there is no correlation and H α is rejected, Ho is
accepted. Ho
: There is no significant correlation between students’ interest and their speaking score.
H α
: There is a significant correlation between stu dents’ interest and their
speaking score.
B. RESEARCH FINDINGS
1. Data Description
As mentioned in the research methodology, to get the data, the writer conducted a research by giving a questionnaire about students’
interest in speaking to 50 students as a sample. After the data were collected, she analyzed them to know how many students having high
interest and how many students having low interest. Second, to get the data about students’ speaking score, the writer
took from the English teacher. Finally, after the writer analyzed both data to see the correlation
between students’ interest and their speaking score by applying the formula of Pearson Product Moment Correlation.
