1. Conducting Need survey
The first step belongs to Yalden’s model. In this step the researcher did the research and information collecting procedures. The researcher used survey in the
form of class observations, questionnaires, and interviews as the techniques to gain the data. At the first time, the researcher did class observations and fulfill the
observation checklist during the teaching and learning activities. The researcher did the observation in X-E class.
a. The Result of the Class Observation
The class observation was held in X-E class during the teaching and learning activities. The researcher found that the teacher and the students rarely
used English as their classroom language. They did not have the English textbook or English module as their study references. In some cases, the teacher used
Indonesian to explain the materials and the students often used Indonesian to ask some questions. The teacher gave opportunities to the students expressing their
ideas and sharing their opinions during the teaching and learning process. However, the students were still passive in expressing their ideas since they were
confused to speak English. Moreover, the teacher always gave reading and writing exercises to the students in every meeting. The activities made the teaching and
learning process becoming monotonous.

The researcher distributed the questionnaires to the twenty five 25 students in X-E class. All of the students filled the questionnaires and gave their
49
answers in the close ended and the open ended form. From the result of the questionnaire, the researcher found that all of the participants 100 agreed that
English-speaking skill was important to support their teaching and learning activities in the class. All of the students 100 realized that English-speaking
skill was interesting to be learnt. However, when the students were asked about the used of English in the classroom discussion, there was only 20 5 students

in the Basic English level. Moreover, the data also showed that all of the participants 100 had
some difficulties in learning English especially in speaking skill. The researcher made a ranking of English speaking skill difficulties and found that majority of
