this action is continued, students’ improvement in pronunciation words or sentences in expressions will be much better.
2. Grammar
The mean for grammar aspect in pre-test was 1.1 and raised highly in post- test 1; it was 2.6 or 1.5 point higher that pre-test score. While I gave pre-test, most
of the students did mistake in grammar. They still added “be” in behind verb in active sentence. In pre-test activity the students also used mix of Indonesia and
English, so the grammar was poor. But in next treatments of cycle 1 till cycle 3, the students made improvement in grammar. However the improvement was
made, because the students started to learn proper expressions in English. Overall the result of post-test 1 until post-test 3 made enhancement compared with the
score of pre-test.
3. Vocabulary
The average score in pre-test was 1.9 and increased to 2.7 in post-test 1, then continued to 3.0 in post-test 2. The final score of post-test 3 increased to 3.3,
or 1.4 point better than pre-test. From data those, it can be seen that the students’ mastery of using vocabulary in daily speaking was quite satisfactory in formal
speech and informal speech. The students learnt vocabulary a lot when they wanted to describe themselves to other students. However they started to learn the
category of hobby, dream or pet in English culture. So, “High Town” Card can enrich the vocabulary. “High Town” Card was not only enriched the vocabulary,
but also the common-used expressions in English although in Indonesia they usually used in daily conversation.
4. Fluency
Based on the table 4.6, students’ fluency raised rapidly from 1.2 to 3.1 in post-test 3. It influenced by the repetition they had done. From the treatments of
cycle 1, they should memorize the expressions, in which things happened in the last cycle. The expressions were quite a lot, but there were some expression that
they mastered before, so they were not difficult to memorize them. Since the students have a lot of practice, their fluency in speaking was much better that can
be proofed the result of post-test 3. There was improvement 1.9 point in the last test.
5. Comprehension
Students’ achievement in this aspect was satisfying. It increased from 1.0 in pre-test to 3.2 in post-test 3 and made improvement by 2.2 point. In pre-test, they
had no ideas what they wanted to say because I told them to introduce themselves, whatever in English or Indonesia. But, most of students just imitated the
expressions of the performance students’ before and frequently used Indonesia expressions.
The result can be seen in the chart 4.1 below. It shows the development of students speaking ability when I used “High Town” Card as the media.
