learned in a subject and what specific abilities or skills have been developed. So, the term denotes to the performance of students, which is determined at the end of
a course. Students’ achievement in this research refers to achievement in learning
English. The achievement is reflected by students’ scores after following the lesson and through the test. However, students’ achievement was influenced by
certain factors; one of them was students’ personality.
D. Thinking Framework
Many people think that some factors which initiate problem in the teaching or learning speaking
skill are the students’ lake of practice to speak English. The teachers seldom expose them to speak English, and the method used by the
teachers does no t build students’ interest. However, the problems are not only
those things; there is also a factor whic h influences students’ performance in
speaking. It is personality. Every student has different personality; as stated in previous chapter that the sanguine personality is dominating in speaking than the
phlegmatic personality. This statement will prove that sanguine student will have better score in speaking than the phlegmatic one.
Therefore, the writer is interested in analyzing whether the students who have sanguine and phlegmatic personality are influence their achievement in speaking
skill score. The first step in doing this research is giving the personality test that consist of
40 numbers of traits list of personality in order to determine whether the students are sanguine or phlegmatic. After students have been classified into sanguine and
phlegmatic, the next step is comparing the student speaking score with those two personalities. This aimed to answer the research question.
E. Review of Previous Study Related to Research
The writer found the similar research written by Nadiyah 2010 which the title is “Comparative Analysis on Choleric Students and Melancholic Students
Concerning Their English Speaking Skill.” Nadiyah compared the students’
personality of the second grade students SMA Muhammadiyah 25 Pamulang with students’ achievement in speaking score. Based on her opinion, different
personality of the student would make different result in students’ speaking
ability. In her research showed that there are no significantly differences between students’ difference personality with their achievement in speaking score. The
relationship between Nadiyah’s research with the writer’s research is the variable
used. Nadiyah used choleric and melancholic students as variables. However, the writer in this “skripsi” has different focus. The writer focuses on two other types
of personality, they are sanguine and phlegmatic personality and will do the research in seventh semester of English Education Department State Islamic
University UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Another previous study related to research is from Lidya Catrunnada Ira
Puspitawati with her paper research entitled “Prokrastinasi Task Differences on
Thesis Introvert and Extrovert Personality”. The result of this quantitative research showed that personality differences have statistically different to the
students’ prokratinasi on doing their thesis task. It was noted that, the students with extrovert personality have prokrastinasi more than the introvert one. The
relationship between this research and the writer’s research is the use of dependent variable; however the writer used speaking as dependent variable, and
the writer used sanguine and phlegmatic as independent variables. Sanguine is one of the categories of extrovert personality, and phlegmatic is one of categories of in
introvert personality.
F. Theoretical Hypothesis
Based on the theories which were described above, it can be posed a theoretical hypothesis that the sanguine students have better score that the
phlegmatic students in speaking skill.
