a language, and because we expect test scores to be accurate, just and appropriate for our purpose.‖ 51 It means that assessing speaking needs to be careful since every one of us has the different background knowledge of how good speaking is. When doing evaluation, the teacher needs to cover three things. They are how success the teaching and learning process is, how well the students absorb the materials taught, and what valuable information that teacher can use for the feedback and backwash. Based on Brown‘s work, there are different five basic types of speaking which have different type of assessment tool. They are imitative speaking, intensive speaking, responsive speaking, interactive speaking, and extensive speaking. C . Previous Relevant Study Here are the studies found by the researcher which are similar to the study that will be conducted by the researcher. The first relevant study is ―The Relative effectiveness of Formal and Informal Exposure in EL Development ‖ and it was conducted in Nepal. This study was conducted to know how formal and informal environment influenced people‘s speaking skill in different ways. In this study, the researchers had two groups of subjects who learned English in different ways for the sampling. The researchers employed 58 subjects that were divided into two groups consisting of 29 subjects for each group. The first group represented those who got their English trough learning it in the classroom or formal education and had no access to learn English outside the classroom. And, the second group was those who never had formal education since they were child. They got English only trough their environment such as from TVs‘ programs, radios, newspaper, and many others. The method which was used by the researchers was that the first group did not have any exposures to English-speaking environment by way of visiting English-speaking countries, nor did they have any chances to come in contact with native English-speaking people within their own country on a sustained 51 Louma, op. cit., p. 1. basis. In the other hand, the second group of the subjects had no formal schooling at all but they had exposures to English-speaking environment through being guides and expedition teams of mounterring and trekking for the foreigners. The researchers used ‘t’ test as the result of holistic mean of data in data analyzing and they revealed how formal and informal environments affect student‘s language skill in different ways. They explained that the former promotes accuracy and the l atter promotes fluency on student‘s oral performance of the language itself. 52 This study has the similar things to study with the research that was conducted by the researcher. It is how the informal environment affects the students‘ language skill especially on their oral performance. The difference is that the previous study only focused on how the formal environment which is classroom environment and informal environment affect the adults‘ speaking performance differently. While, the study conducted by the researcher is not only focused on how both environments affect the learners‘ speaking performance but also focused on how other aspects may affect the learners ‘ speaking performance. The second study is ―Teaching Speaking through Story Telling A Case Study at the First year of SMK Puspita Bangsa Ciputat‖. This study was conducted by Meita Rahmania. The researcher aimed to know whether teaching speaking through story telling techniques is more effective than teaching without using story telling. She employed 20 subjects for the sample of the study. Meita observed the teaching learning process of the English teacher in the classroom and asked for the students‘ scores of speaking test with and without story telling techniques to be compared. The researcher used t-test formula to count two variables which were not correlated. She found that teaching speaking using story telling is more effective than teaching speaking without story telling. 53 This second study and the study conducted by the researcher have the same focus which is teaching speaking. However, there is the difference between both 52 Gulmez Shresta, op. cit,.. 53 Meita Rahmania, ―Teaching Speaking Through Story Telling: A Case Study at the First Year of SMK Puspita Bangsa Ciputat‖ Skripsi at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta, Jakarta, 2007, unpublished. studies that is the study conducted by Meita used Story Telling as the technique while the study conducted by the researcher found Describing picture as the technique used by the teacher. The third study is ―The Effectiveness of Using Describing Picture to Improve Student‘s Speaking Skill in Descriptive Text An Experimental Research at the Eight Grade Students of SMP H. Isriati Semarang in the Academic Year of 20102011 .‖ This study was conducted by Inta Aulia Asfa. The researcher aimed to know which technique is suitable to use in teaching speaking since the researcher assumed that students who have learned English for several years have not been able to communicate used English. So, the researcher thought that there should be a solution to cope that problem. As result, the researcher tried to use describin g picture as a method to improve students‘ speaking skill. The study was conducted in two classes; the experimental group VIII A which was taught using describing picture and the control group VIII C which was taught with no using of describing picture Direct Method as sample. To gather the data, the researcher gave speaking test which had been tried out to find out the validity, reliability, and the difficulty level. The researcher used t-test formula to determine whether or not there was a significance difference between students‘ score in experimental group and students‘ score in control group. She found that teaching speaking using describing picture was effective method in improving stu dents‘ Speaking skill in descriptive text at the eighth grade students of SMP H. Isriati Semarang. 54 The last previous study and the study conducted by the researcher similarly focus on Teaching Speaking with Describing Picture as technique used. However, the difference of both is that the former used the experimental as the method of the study while the latter used an expository. 54 Inta Aulia Asfa, ―The Effectiveness of Using Describing Picture to Improve Student‘s Speaking Skill in Descriptive Text An Experimental Research at the Eight Grade Students of SMP H.
