ABSTRACT
Sawitri, Filomena Tunjung (2009). An Evaluation on the Collaborative English Teaching Program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta: Sanata Dharma University.
Considering the position of English in Indonesian society and the students’ needs to master English to become competitive human resources, the Indonesian Ministry of National Education has decided to adopt some strategies for Indonesian students. One of the strategies is particularly directed for those who are now in the twelfth grade of senior high school to learn English. Implementing English for active communication as an internally studied subject or in Indonesian we called it as a Muatan Lokal indirectly made students become active and critical learners. Unfortunately, there were some difficulties in implementing this subject. Realizing that fact, Stella Duce 1 Senior High School and English Language Training International (ELTI) Yogyakarta then made an agreement to carry out a collaborative teaching for the twelfth grade students from Stella Duce 1 Senior High School to develop the fluency of their Speaking skill.
Moreover, this research resolved three main questions in example: 1) How does collaborative English teaching program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School help the students develop the fluency of their speaking skill? 2) What are the strengths of the collaborative English teaching program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of their Speaking skill? 3) What are the weaknesses of the collaborative English teaching program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of their Speaking skill?
In order to evaluate the collaborative teaching English program, the adaptation of Kemp’s model (1977), some theories related to speaking principles, tasks and activities by Bailey (2005), the collaborative teaching by Fullan (1993) and Lieberman (1995) and program evaluation theory from Chelimsky (1997: 97-188) as cited in Hutchinson and Waters (1994) were employed.
To answer the first research questions, that is aimed to find the students’ fluency developments in collaborative English teaching program from students’ perception, the writer referred to the student’s questionnaire which was distributed on 8th-14th September 2009. In addition, the writer also conducted a library study and also included a video recording of the collaborative English teaching program to support the data. Next, in order to answer the second and the third problem formulations, the writer employed students’ and teachers’ questionnaires’ feedback. Based on the questionnaires’ feedback, it could be concluded that generally the Collaborative Teaching English was well-elaborated and interesting. The materials helped the students focused on learning speaking; it also encouraged the students to be more confident to speak in front of public. In addition, there were some parts that still need some revision such as the materials, the games, the books and the exercises.

Finally, the writer suggested that further research be conducted due to the fact that this thesis merely focuses on the fluency development in the collaborative English teaching program. This thesis can serve as the basis of further research.

ABSTRAK
Sawitri, Filomena Tunjung (2009). An Evaluation on the Collaborative English Teaching Program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta: Universitas Sanata Dharma.
Mempertimbangkan posisi bahasa Inggris di dalam masyarakat Indonesia dengan kebutuhan siswa akan penguasaan bahasa Inggris untuk menjadi sumber daya manusia yang kompetitif, Kementrian Pendidikan Nasional Indonesia telah memutuskan untuk mengadopsi beberapa strategi bagi siswa Indonesia. Salah satu dari strategi itu secara khusus di tujukan bagi para siswa kelas dua belas untuk mempelajari bahasa Inggris. Diterapkannya bahasa Inggris untuk komunikasi aktif sebagai salah satu mata pelajaran di dalam muatan lokal secara langsung membuat siswa aktif dan kritis.
Sayangnya terdapat kesulitan-kesulitan dalam menerapkan pelajaran ini. Menyadari kenyataan itu, SMA Stella Duce 1 dan ELTI-Gramedia melakukan suatu kesepakatan untuk menjalankan suatu program pengajaran kolaboratif bagi siswi kelas dua belas SMA Stella Duce 1 untuk mengembangkan kefasihan siswi dalam berbicara.
Selebihnya penelitian ini akan menjawab 3 pertanyaan utama, yakni: 1) bagaimanakah program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara. 2) apa sajakah kelebihan dari program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 dalam membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara.. 3) apa sajakah kekurangan program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara. Dalam melaksanakan penelitian ini, penulis menerapkan metode survey yang menggunakan wawancara dan kuesioner sebagai alat mengumpulkan data.
Untuk mengevaluasi program pengajaran kolaboratif dan untuk menjawab pertanyaan pertama , penulis mengadaptasi Kemp Instructional Design Model (1977)
sebagai kerangka kerja dalam mengevaluasi materi yang sudah didisain. Sebagai tambahan, beberapa teori yang berkaitan tentang aturan-aturan, latihan dan juga aktfitas berbicara menurut Bailey (2005); teori pengajaran kolaboratif menurut Fullan (1993) dan Lieberman (1995), serta teori evaluasi program menurut Chelimsky (1997: 97-188) yang dikutip dari pendapat Hutchinson dan Waters (1994)
Selanjutnya, untuk mencari tahu perkembangan kefasihan siswi di dalam program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1, penulis menggunakan hasil dari kuesioner siswi yang telah diujikan pada tanggal 8-14 September 2009. Sebagai tambahan, selain penulis menggunakan beberapa buku teori pustaka, penulis juga menyertakan rekaman video yang berisikan kegiatan di dalam program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1. Berdasarkan hasil dari umpan balik kuesioner tersebut, dapat dilihat bahwa program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara. Selanjutnya untuk menjawab pertanyaan kedua dan ketiga, penulis
(10)
ix
menggunakan umpan bailik dari kuesioner guru dan kuesioner siswi. Berdasarkan umpan balik dari kuesioner itu maka dapat disimpulkan secara umum bahwa program pengajaran kolaboratif telah dijabarkan dengan baik dan menarik. Materi-materi ini membantu siswi dalam belajar bahasa Inggrios, dan juga memotivasi siswi untuk lebih berani berbicara di depan umum. Akan tetapi, masih ada beberapa bagian yang memerlukan perbaikan seperti materi, permainan, buku, dan latihan-latihan.
Akhirnya, penulis juga mengusulkan agar diadakan penelitian lanjutan karena skripsi ini hanya terbatas pada melihat perkembangan kefasihan siswi berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris melalui program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta. Skripsi ini dapat berfungsi sebagai landasan bagi penelitian yang lebih lanjut.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
A. Research Background
English has been widely considered as a main language in international
communication today. It is used in the fields of education, social, economic,
culture, politic, and many more (Harmer, 1991: 1). That is why in Indonesia,
English becomes an essential subject at school. According to the Peraturan
Menteri Pendidikan Nasional Nomor 22 Tahun 2006 (Peraturan Menteri, 2006:
9), English has become one of the main school subjects to be taught since
Elementary level.
In addition, the Department of National Education has been started to
apply a new curriculum namely the School Based Curriculum (SBC) or
Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) in 2006. SBC only provides a
teaching guideline and requires every school to develop its own curriculum based
on it in every subject including English. In English subject, the learning materials
are divided into some basic topics like analytical exposition, recount, procedure,
report, hortatory exposition, and narrative. English subject covers four skills;
speaking, listening, reading, and writing (Pusat Kurikulum, 2008).
Further, the Indonesian Ministry of National Education has decided to
adopt a new strategy. The strategy is particularly directed for the twelfth grade
(22)
as an internally studied subject or Muatan Lokal. In directly, English for active
communication is aimed to help the students to be more active and critical.
On the other hand, Stella Duce 1 Senior High School as one of the
reputable schools in Yogyakarta found difficulties in implementing English for
active communication. Therefore, Stella Duce 1 Senior High School and English
Language Training International (ELTI) Yogyakarta made an agreement to carry
out a collaborative English teaching for the twelfth grade students. This program
is aimed to develop the fluency of the twelfth grade students’ speaking skill.
Based on the interview with Mr Yusuf, the ESP Academic Director of
ELTI Yogyakarta on 14 October 2009, the writer found that in collaborative
English teaching, the roles of teachers are important since they have to determine
materials for students based on the students’ needs, particularly in using English
for active communication. The collaborative English teaching program itself has
been implemented for three years. In some respects, the collaborative English
teaching between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School also supported the
SBI program. This is in line with the theory stated by Wright (1987). According to
Wright, “collaboration affords the opportunity to overtly discuss and reflect upon
a wide range of teaching and learning processes and activities.” Furthermore, in
conducting this study, collaboration can be a new improvement of teaching
program where teachers can cooperate together with other educators in the
teaching learning process.
Wright’s viewpoint is by chance coincident with the statement of the
(23)
Djati. Base on the interview on September 2009, She stated that based on the
students’ reports in 2008, the implementation of the English program in the
collaborative English teaching between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School was successful in supporting individual student achievement in the
National Exam. After evaluating the program, she argued that collaborative
teaching program between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 was in line with KTSP
curriculum.
In conducting this study, the writer chose the twelfth grade students of
Stella Duce 1 Senior High School as the research subjects. Those students were
expected to be more prepared to master the English language soon after they
graduate from Senior High School. In addition, Stella Duce 1 Senior High School
is the first school which had a collaborative teaching program with an English
course, ELTI Yogyakarta.
The writer expected that this research will be useful as a groundbreaker,
not only on how a collaborative English teaching program helped the students to
develop the fluency of their speaking skill, but also on how they experienced the
(24)
B. Problem Formulation
Considering the research background, this research addressed three main
questions. The questions were formulated as follows.
1. What are the contributions of collaborative English teaching program
between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School in developing the fluency of students’ speaking skill?
2. What are the strengths of the collaborative English teaching program
between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of the students’ speaking
skill?
3. What are the weaknesses of the collaborative English teaching program
between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School Yogyakarta Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of the students’
speaking skill?
C. Problem Limitation
To answer the questions formulated previously, the writer would focus on
the strengths and weaknesses that emerged in the collaborative teaching process.
Although the result of this program was not to measure the achievement of
students in the National Exam, the research could be used as an evaluation
program for ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta.
The population used in the sampling of the research were the twelfth grade
(25)
and the Academic Director of ELTI Yogyakarta. Further elaboration on the
research participants will be given in Chapter III.
D. Research Objectives
In accordance with the questions formulated in the Problem Formulation
section, the objectives of this research were as follows.
1. To present a clear critical evaluation on the collaborative English teaching
program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School in developing the fluency of students’ speaking skill
2. To identify the strengths of the collaborative English teaching program
between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School
Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of students’ speaking skill
3. To uncover the weaknesses of the collaborative English teaching program
between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School
Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of students’ speaking skill
E. Research Benefits
In line with the objectives of the research, this research was expected to
benefit the following:
1. Other Writers
The research is expected to present insight on the implementation of the
collaborative English teaching program which infers English instructions
(26)
collaborative English teaching and thus is also expected to be helpful for
everyone needing it for further research on the same or similar topic.
2. English Language Education Study Program Students
The research is expected to present clear information on the collaborative
teaching by giving a clear and practical case of the real-life implementation
of it. Thus, the students are expected to know and to apply the main
principles of the collaborative English teaching program and also dealing
with the problem on the implementation of the approach in the further
development.
3. English Teachers
The research is expected to present a clear evaluation on the implementation
of a certain style of teaching English, which is the collaborative English
teaching, so that the English teachers will be able to make necessary
improvements of the approach later on.
4. Stella Duce I Senior High School Yogyakarta
The research is expected to create a new teaching and learning atmosphere
not only for the school but also for the students. Therefore, this research will
help school to choose which teaching and learning style that are proper for
the students.
5. ELTI Yogyakarta
The research is expected to be a reference of an evaluation program for
ELTI Yogyakarta particularly on the improvement in developing a new style
(27)
F. Definition of Terms
Below are the definitions of terms used throughout the study:
1. Speaking
Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves
producing and receiving and processing information. (Florez, 1999: 1) In
this study, the term speaking is defined as a process of producing systematic
verbal utterances to convey meaning.
2. Instructional Design
Instructional Design is the systematic development of instructional
specifications using learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of
instruction. It is the entire process of analysis of learning needs and goals
and the development of a delivery system to meet those needs. It includes
development of instructional materials and activities; and tryout and
evaluation of all instruction and learner activities (Srinivas, 2008). In this
study, the term instructional design is defined as the process of analyzing
needs and goals and evaluation of materials and activity in a practical way to
help both teachers and learners in the process of transferring knowledge
effectively.
3. An Evaluation
Evaluation can be defined as an analytical process involving the collection
and reduction of data of all (or some) phases of the instructional process and
(28)
the instructional program (Marsden, 1991). In this study, evaluation can be
shown as a final result of the learning process. The evaluation of the course
itself helps to asses whether the course objectives and the program are doing
what they were designed to do. Through the evaluation which containing
several reports about the learning and teaching progress; teachers, school,
and the other educators can analyze the better quality of teaching.
4. Collaborative Teaching Program
According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, program itself can be
defined as an educational course in which the material to be learnt is
presented in small, carefully graded, amount. (1994: 995). From this
definition, the writer redefined program in this study as a self instruction
which is put into effect in a classroom situation. In addition, collaborative
teaching itself is not only interesting and creative in the planning, but
provides opportunities for teachers to share their expertise (Minnett et al.,
1997). According to this study, the term of collaborative teaching program
can be seen as a situation where teachers and educators in team are looking
forward to preparing and would not willingly return to prepare alone. They
would much rather prepare with capable partners who know the students’
needs and understand the goals for learning.
5. The Twelfth Grade Students
The twelfth grade students are the third-year students who study in Stella
(29)
6. Stella Duce I Senior High School Yogyakarta
Stella Duce I Senior High School Yogyakarta refers to a Private Catholic
Senior High School for female students in Yogyakarta. Amongst high
schools in Yogyakarta, only this school has a collaborative English teaching
program with ELTI, an English course in Yogyakarta.
7. ELTI Yogyakarta
ELTI (English Language Training International) refers to English course in
Yogyakarta whereas amongst English course in Yogyakarta, only ELTI has
a collaborative teaching program with Stella Duce I Senior High School
Yogyakarta.
8. Fluency
According to Bailey (2005: 5), fluency, on the other hand, is the capacity to
speak fluidly, confidently, and at a rate consistent with the norms of the
relevant native speech community. Based on Bailey theory, students at the
beginning and intermediate levels of language learning are still developing

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Theoretical Description
This chapter presents some meaningful reviews from many sources to help
develop the writing process of the thesis and dealing with the study conducted.
First, this chapter will include, speaking, collaborative, evaluation, the review of
instructional design, and students’ characteristic. Second it will deal with the
theoretical framework of the study.
1. Speaking
a. The Nature of Speaking
Speaking is a fundamental human behavior that could not be stopped
analyzing unless there is something noticeable about it. According to Savignon
(1991), “we often talk about the four skills in language teaching.” They are
speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Language generated by the learner (in
speech or writing) is productive, and language directed at the learner (in reading
or listening) is receptive. Modality refers to the medium of the message (aural/oral
or written).
In addition, Savignon also added that speaking is the productive aural/oral
skill and consists of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning.
Another researcher, Florez (1999: 1) stated that “speaking is an interactive process
of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing
(31)
“Spoken language and written language differ in many important ways”
(van Lier, 1995). Spoken language is received auditorially, whereas written
language is received visually. As a result, the spoken message is temporary and its
reception by the learner is usually immediate. In contrast, written language is
permanent, and reception by the learner typically occurs some time after the text
was generated (sometimes even centuries later).
b. The Principles for Teaching Speaking
The Indonesian Government Law number 19 year 2005 stated that there
should be a special program called an internally studied subject or Muatan Lokal
implemented in all Senior High School in Indonesia. According to the Indonesian
Government Law number 19 year 2005, “the twelfth grade students of every
Senior High School in Indonesia are taught by using English for active
communication.” In addition, teachers realize that developing English skill
particularly in the speaking skill at least can help students to get along in the
society since English becomes a Universal language nowadays.
Furthermore, since the twelfth graders of senior high school are
categorized as intermediate learners, the writer will consider the techniques for
teaching speaking to intermediate learners. As stated by Bailey (2005: 90), The
American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL) enumerates the
(32)
The following five guideline lists are as follows.
1. Students are able to ask and answer questions and participate in
simple conversations on topics beyond the most immediate needs,
such as personal history and leisure time activities
2. Students are able to improve pronunciation, which may continue to
be strongly influenced by the first language, and fluency may still be
strained.
3. Students are able to handle successfully a variety of uncomplicated,
basic and communicative tasks and social situations
4. Students are able to talk simply about self and family members
5. Students are able to increase utterance length slightly, but speech
may continue to be characterized by frequent long pauses, since the
smooth incorporation of even basics conversational strategies is
often hindered.
According to Bailey (2005: 96-98), there are three principles in teaching speaking
to intermediate students.
1) Planning speaking tasks that involve negotiation for meaning
It appears that through the process of negotiating for the meaning, the
language addressed and adjusted to the students. Further, students become
comprehensible to the language. Students need to work hard to make the
language understandable either in speech or writing. The students must attend
to accuracy and fluency. They must select the correct vocabulary, apply
(33)
To support the first principles, Schimidt and Frota (1986: 310-315) argued that
Students may notice the gap between what they want to say and what they can
say, or between what they say and what other people say. In line with
Schimidt and Frota viewpoint, Bailey (2005: 97) added that by planning
speaking tasks that require students to negotiate for meaning, teachers can
give students valuable chance for practice and language development
particularly for students in the intermediate level.
2) Designing both transactional and interpersonal speaking activities
When people talk to other people, they usually do so for interpersonal or
transactional purposes. Interpersonal speech is communication for social
purposes, including establishing or maintaining social relationships.
Transactional speech involves communicating to get something done, for
example the exchange of goods and/or services.
According to Nunan (1991:42) as stated in Bailey (2005:97), “most
spoken interactions can be placed on a continuum from relatively predictable
to relatively unpredictable.” Casual conversations-an example of interpersonal
speech are relatively unpredictable and can range over many topics, with the
participation of students taking turns and commenting freely. In contrast,
Nunan says that transactional encounters of a fairly restricted kind will usually
contain highly predictable patterns (Bailey, 2005:97).
(34)
Personalization is the process of making activities matches the students’
own circumstances, interests, and goals. Omagio (1982) as cited in Bailey
(2005: 97) states that “teachers who personalized language lessons were
judged to be effective, by both their supervisor and their students.”
Personalizing exercise can be as simple as using students’ names, academic
majors, cities, or jobs in speaking activities. Or teachers can ask the students
to build role plays around situations suggested by the students. In addition,
Bailey (2005:97) adds that “personalizing language lessons is partly a matter
of careful planning and partly of responding creatively to students’ questions
and comments during activities.”
c. Types of Classroom Speaking Performance
Types of classroom speaking performance means what the students do in
speaking technique. According to Brown (2001: 271), there are six types of
classroom speaking performance as follows.
1. Imitative
A very limited portion of classroom speaking time may legitimately be
spent by generating “human tape recorder “speech. In example, learners practice
an intonation contour or try to pinpoint a certain vowel sound. Imitation of this
kind is carried out not for the purpose of meaningful interaction, but for focusing
on some particular element of language form.
2. Intensive
Intensive speaking is designed to practice some phonological or
(35)
even form part of some pair work activity, where learners are going over certain
forms of language.
3. Responsive
A good deal of students’ speech in the classroom is responsive: short
replies to teacher or student-initiated questions or comments.
4. Transactional (Dialogue )
Transactional language is carried out for the purpose of conveying or
exchanging specific information, is an extended form of responsive language
5. Interpersonal (Dialogue)
Interpersonal language is carried out for the purpose of maintaining social
relationships than for the transmission of facts and information.
6. Extensive (Monologue)
Students at intermediate to advanced levels are called on to give extended
monologues in the form of oral reports, summaries, or perhaps short speeches.
Furthermore, oral reports may be more appropriate for intermediate and advanced
levels of proficiency. The previous statement is in line with O’Malley and Pioerce
(1996: 87) who’s argued that oral reports may be more appropriate for
intermediate and advanced levels of proficiency. Students at beginning levels of
proficiency can make oral reports using realia or describing objects, posters,
(36)
d. Speaking Tasks
According to Bailey (2005: 98), there are some key tasks and exercise types
for teaching speaking for intermediate learners. Bailey considers seven exercise
types as follows.
1)Role plays
The purpose of role play is to create a context in which students must
practice using communication strategies. Moreover, the activity lets the
students do in a safe atmosphere with a supportive person who does not speak
(or pretends not to speak) the student’s first language.
2)Picture-based activities
Picture based activity is a construction of story activity. It can be done
individually or in pairs or groups. Students can work in a small group since
the students can scaffold one another’s learning and build on each other’s
ideas. According to Bailey (2005:104), picture based activities give students
speaking opportunities and help students activate expressive vocabulary.
3)Logic puzzles and jigsaw activities
Puzzle can be used as it is for group work, or it can be turned into a jigsaw
activity in which two students are given different but complementary sets of
information, which they must then share in English in order to solve the
(37)
4)Information gap
The idea of the information gap as an organizing concept for a speaking
activity is that one person has information that another lacks. The students
must use English to share that information in order to accomplish a task.
Another researcher, Swain (1995) mentioned one of the benefits of students
interacting in English is that when they speak or (or write) in a new language.
Students have to focus on grammatical accuracy and on their pronunciation in
order to be understood. It appears that in trying to speak, students have many
opportunities to notice the gap between their outputs (their own speech writing in
the target language) and that of native or more proficient users of English.
e. Speaking Fluency
According to Nunan (1991), in spoken language; the question we face as
teachers is: how shall we prioritize the two clearly important speaker goals of
accurate (clear, articulate, grammatically and phonologically correct) language
and fluent (flowing, natural) language. It is now very clear that fluency is
important goal to pursue in communicative language teaching. In addition, Nunan
(1991) explained that fluency may in many communicative language courses, be
an initial goal in language teaching. Fluency refers to the flow of your thoughts.
The speech that is fluent sounds like a harmonious whole rather than several small
and fragmented pieces of thought tightly tucked together. Supporting the previous
(38)
is the capacity to speak fluidly, confidently, and at a rate consistent with the
norms of the relevant native speech community.”
As cited in Colorin Colorado (2007), fluency in reading is like fluency in
public speaking. Fluent speakers and readers controlled their voices accuracy in
speech as well as appropriate speed, phrasing, and expression. When the speaker
uses these elements, it makes it easier for the listener to understand. Speaking in
appropriate phrases, emphasizing certain words, raising and lowering volume, and
varying intonation are help the listener.
2. Collaborative
a. The theory of Collaborative
Working in teams has emerged as an important part of the complex
professional lives of teachers. According to Fullan (1993) and Lieberman (1995),
“teaming provides collegial support and improves practice, but requires skills that
rarely appear in teacher-training curricula.” Nevertheless, educators predict that
collaborative skills will become even more important to teachers’ practices as
their professional lives unfold in increasingly interactive and collaborative
settings.
Therefore, the writer possesses positive perception that collaboration and
shared reflection are on-going in the teamwork. According to Fullan (1993) and
Lieberman (1995), the process of collaborative shows that anyone and everyone
could improve and learn from the other. However, any school could get the
(39)
relationships that they have developed and enjoyed. Furthermore, Nunan (1992)
mentions that collaboration encouraged learners:
1) to learn about learning and to learn better
2) to increase their awareness about language, and about ourselves, and hence
about learning;
3) to develop, as a result, meta-communicative as well as communicative
skills;
4) to confront, and come to terms with, the conflicts between individual
needs and group needs, both in social, procedural terms as well as
linguistic, content terms;
5) to realize that content and method are inextricably linked, and
6) to recognize the decision-making tasks themselves as genuine
communicative activities.
b. The Theory of Collaborative Teaching
According to this study, the term of collaborative teaching program can be seen
as a situation where teachers and educators in team are looking forward for
preparing and would not willingly return to prepare alone. They would much
rather prepare with capable partners who know the students’ needs and understand
the goals for learning. Minnett et al., (1997) argues that “collaborative teaching is
not only interesting and creative in the planning, but also provides opportunities
for teachers to share their expertise.”
Armstrong (1977:60 as cited in Nunan, 1992) listed the following five strengths
(40)
1) Team teaching permits team members to take advantage of individual
teacher strengths in planning for instruction and in working with
learners.
2) Team teaching spurs creativity because teachers know they must teach
for their colleagues as well as for their learners
3) Team teaching facilitates individualized instruction because it is
possible to provide learning environments involving close personal
contact between teachers and learners.
4) Team teaching provides for better sequencing and pacing of
increments of instruction because perceptions of an individual teacher
must be verified by at least one other team member.
5) Team teaching builds program continuity over time. Team teaching
programs abide. Specific teachers within a team do not.
However, there have been numerous studies carried out to evaluate the
effectiveness of collaborative teaching, and the results make interesting reading.
Furthermore, the most important implication of this research is that for
collaborative teaching to be effective, teachers need appropriate training and
support. The writer suggests that it is insufficient to simply throw teachers
together without giving them opportunities for developing the skills they need for
success. They also need adequate time to plan their programs as well as
(41)
3. Program Evaluation
The important form of evaluation is the evaluation of the course itself. This
evaluation helps to asses whether the course objectives are being met – whether
the program is doing what it was designed to do. In this study, evaluation can be
shown as a final result of the learning process. Through the evaluation which
contain several reports about the learning and teaching progress; teachers, school,
and the other educators can analyze the better quality of teaching. Furthermore,
according to Chelimsky (1997: 97-188) as cited in Hutchinson and Waters (1994),
“evaluation is an aid to strengthen our practice, organization and programs.
Evaluation helps to show how well the course is actually fulfilling the need.”
Thus, evaluating a program helps to establish whether it is meeting its aims. Then
the writer agreed that moreover course evaluation also plays a useful social role
by showing the various parties involved (teachers, learners or sponsors and so on)
that their views are important.
Consistent with Alderson and Waters, 1983 (as cited in Hutchinson and Waters,
1994), there are four main aspects of course evaluation. The aspects can be
illustrated as follows.
• What should be evaluated?
• How can English specific program be evaluated? • Who should be involved in the evaluation? • When should evaluation take place?
In the course evaluation, the writer assumes that teachers and team need to
(42)
satisfying and agreeable to the parties as possible. The origins of the course lie in
satisfying and fulfilling needs. In addition, evaluation helps to asses how well the
needs that have created demand for a course as being served.
4. Instructional Design
Instructional-design theory provides guidance on how to help people learn (or
develop) in different situations and under different conditions. Instructional design
includes rules about what to teach and how to teach materials. Nevertheless,
instructional conditions are factors beyond the influence of the instructional
designer that impact upon the effects of the methods of instruction. Conditions
may include the nature of what is being learned (the content), the learner, the
learning environment, and the instructional development constraints (e.g., time
and money). Instructional-design theory, in attempting to provide guidance for
people to help others learn, ought to state explicitly the conditions under which
different methods should and should not be used.
In instructional design, the writer lies on Kemp’s model. The Design of an
Instructional System according to Kemp is divided into eight parts (Kemp, 1977:
19-91).
a. Goals, Topics, and General Purposes
Those are about what the teachers want to accomplish in teaching each
topic. All educational programs are based on broadly stated goals. Goals may be
derived from three sources, in example society, students, and subject’s area. After
recognizing goals, major topics should be listed. Topics would become the scope
(43)
planners usually list general purposes that express the planners’ own aims or
purposes for the topic or unit.
b. Learner Characteristics
Learner Characteristics is about what factors that the teachers want to know
about the student group or individual learners. Furthermore, the learner
characteristic will affect the plan for their learning. Teachers must consider the
academic factors (number of students, academic background, grade point average,
etc.), social factors (age, maturity, etc.), learning condition, and students’ learning
styles.
c. Learning Objectives
Learning objective is about what students should know or be able to do, or
in what ways they should behave differently after studying the topic. Objectives
should be measurable. Objectives for learning can be grouped into three major
categories, such as cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Cognitive domain
includes objectives concerning knowledge, information, and thinking-naming,
recognizing, predicting, etc. Psychomotor domain treats the skills requiring the
use and coordination of skeletal muscles, as in physical activities of performing,
manipulating, and constructing. Affective domain involves objectives concerning
attitudes, appreciations, values, and all emotions. A single objective can involve
learning in two or more domains. Attitudinal development may precede successful
(44)
d. Subject Content
A teacher must choose subject contents that support each objective.
Subject content comprises the selection and organization of the specific
knowledge, skills, and attitudinal factors of any topic.
e. Pre-Assessment
Pre-Assessment is important to do because the teachers can find, first, to
what extent each student has acquired the prerequisites for studying the topic.
Second, to what extend of each student may have already mastered the subjects to
be studied.
f. Teaching Learning Activities and Resources
The teachers must determine the most efficient and effective method for
teaching. After that, teachers should select materials to provide learning
experiences that will utilize the content associated with each objective.
g. Supporting Services
These services include funds, facilities, equipment, and personnel whose time
must be scheduled for participation in the instructional plan. Supporting services
must be considered at the same time instructional plans are being made and
materials being selected.
h. Evaluation
Evaluation is a step where the teachers are ready to measure the learning
(45)
several reports about the learning and teaching progress; teachers, school, and the
other educators can analyze the better quality of teaching.
Figure 2.1 Kemp’s Model (Kemp, 1977:9)
5. Twelfth Grade Characteristic
The students of senior high school (SMA) at twelfth grade have the same
characteristic as like the eleventh grades that enter transitional era from children
to adolescence after passing puberty. Nevertheless, they are more mature than the
eleventh but still less mature than the first semester of university student, so they
are in the middle. According to Hurlock (1949: 204), the twelfth grade students
Learner’s Characteristics
Learning Objectives
Subject Content Pre-
Assessment Teaching/
learning Activities Support
Services Evaluation
Revision Goal, topics,
and general purposes
(46)
have two specific characteristics. First, students will only care and make a big
effort in the subjects that they are most interested in.
“Interest and motivation are closely related, and so the adolescent who has a strong interest in a subject, based on the belief that it will help him achieve his vocational goal, will put great effort into mastering it. As a result, he will do best
in the subjects he regards as useful.” Hurlock (1949: 204)
Second, most students will do their tasks better if they are taught by a teacher they
considered as a kind and nice teacher. The adolescent who enjoys his / her studies
and feels that his / her teachers treat him / her fairly will do good academic work.
Entering Stella Duce 1 Senior High School, the school is considered having
high human resources in learning. Based on the writer’s observation, some
characteristics of the twelfth grade students in Stella Duce 1 Senior High School
in teaching-learning activities showed that first; they love challenge when they are
given new or difficult materials. Second, they demand interesting, enjoyable
materials and activities. In some way, the materials can reinforce the students to
get involved in the activities and obtain the best result on them.
B. Theoretical Framework
In order to evaluate the collaborative teaching English program, the adaptation
of Kemp’s model (1977), some theories related to speaking principles, tasks and
activities by Bailey (2005), the collaborative teaching by Fullan (1993) and
Lieberman (1995) and program evaluation theory from Chelimsky (1997: 97-188)
were employed. According to Fullan (1993) and Lieberman (1995), the process of
(47)
other. To ensure whether a program is going well or not, the writer need to
evaluate it. In addition, the writer’s viewpoint was in line Chelimsky (1997:
97-188). As cited in Hutchinson and Waters (1994), Chelimsky explained that
evaluation is an aid to strengthen practice, organization and programs. He also
added that evaluation helps to show how well the course is actually fulfilling the
need. To support an evaluation on the collaborative English teaching program, the
adaptation of an Instructional Design System of Kemp (1977) was employed. In
this research, the writer adapted one of the parts of an Instructional Design System
of Kemp to measure students’ fluency in speaking. The part that the writer
employed was an evaluation part. Based on Kemp (1977), evaluation was a part
where the teachers ready to measure the learning outcomes to the objectives.
In this particular research, fluency is one of the students’ needs to be
developed. In addition, according to Bailey (2005: 5), fluency, on the other hand,
is the capacity to speak fluidly, confidently, and at a rate consistent with the
norms of the relevant native speech community. She also added that students at
the beginning and intermediate levels of language learning are still developing
their proficiency, fluency, and accuracy often work against each other.
Furthermore, a Bailey theory is supporting the purpose of the collaborative
English teaching program that has to fulfill the students’ need in developing the

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
This chapter elaborates the whole methodology of the research. Thus, this
chapter will discuss the research method, research participants, research
instruments, data gathering techniques, data analysis, and research procedures.
A. Research Method
The study was a descriptive qualitative study that was carried out to
evaluate a collaborative teaching program between Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School and ELTI Yogyakarta. Thus, qualitative research usually employs the
form of description to present data instead of the numbers. In this research, the
data collected was in the form of statements. The statements gathered from the
perceptions of teachers, students and the academic directors of ELTI
Yogyakarta.
In particular, this research was a survey study. According to
Zimmerman and Rodrigues (1992: 106), “a survey is a process of collecting
information from a group of people about a specific subject”. A survey is
conducted to collect the opinions of a large group of people about a particular
topic or issue. Furthermore, a survey could be conducted either quantitative or
qualitative. In the explanation of Fraenkel and Wallen (1994: 344), “the
purpose of survey study is to describe the characteristics of a population.”
Moreover, a survey is usually conducted in two instruments: interview and
(49)
Related to this study, the writer conducted a survey to evaluate
collaborative teaching program between ELTI Gramedia and Stella Duce 1
senior high school Yogyakarta. According to Chelimsky (1997: 97-188) as
cited in Hutchinson and Waters (1994), “evaluation is an aid to strengthen our
practice, organization and programs.” Evaluation helps to show how well the
course is actually fulfilling the need. Supporting the previous theory from
Chelimsky, Hutchinson & Waters (1987: 145) stated that, a program or course
evaluation research that is supposed to be able to asses whether the course
objectives are being met – whether the course, in other words, is doing what it
was designed to do. Course evaluation also plays a useful social role, by
showing the various parties involved (teachers, learners, sponsors and so on)
that their views are important.
B. Research Participants
As a survey research, this study required a group of people as participants.
Since the number of the participants should be limited to make it accessible, a
sampling procedure was implemented.
According to Fraenkel and Wallen (1994: 79), “sampling refers to the
process of selecting individuals who will participate in the research.” The first
task to survey was defining the population. In addition, Fraenkel and Wallen
(1994:79) stated that population refers to all members of a particular group. To
make it accessible to research, the population should be narrowed down into
small group named sample. Fraenkel and Wallen (1994:79) also stated that
(50)
In this research, the Academic Directors of ELTI Yogyakarta, the
Assistant Principals of Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta, the
English teachers of Stella Duce I Senior High School, the twelfth grade
students of Stella Duce I Senior High School, and the English teachers of ELTI
Yogyakarta who were involved in collaborative teaching program were chosen
as the participants.
The participants for the questionnaire were forty twelfth grade students
of Stella Duce I Senior High School, two English teachers of Stella Duce I
Senior High School, and ten ELTI English teachers. The participants for the
interview were two Academic Directors of ELTI Yogyakarta and two Vice
Principals of Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta. The writer
considered the data result as a supporting data would support the primary data
which was the questionnaire data result.
This research implemented purposive sampling. The participants were
chosen based on the information that were intended to be obtained. According
to Ary et al. (2002: 168), “gathering the data from all of the population will be
expensive and needs much time.”
1. The Academic Directors of ELTI Yogyakarta
The writer interviewed two Academic Directors of ELTI Yogyakarta as
participants since the academic directors knew the characteristics of the
(51)
2. The Assistant Principals of Stella Duce I Senior High School
The writer conducted interview to the Vice Principals of Stella Duce I
Senior High School Yogyakarta. The Vice Principal for Curriculum and
the Vice Principal for Public Relations were chosen since they possessed
the knowledge about the collaborative English teaching program’s
background, the students’ needs, and the difficulties in learning speaking
English in school.
3. The English Teachers of Stella Duce I Senior High School
The writer distributed questionnaire to two English teachers of Stella Duce
I Senior High School Yogyakarta. They were chosen as participants since
they knew the students’ characteristics, needs, performance in class, and
difficulties in learning speaking.
4. The Twelfth Grade Students of Stella Duce I Senior High School
The twelfth grade students of Stella Duce 1 Senor High School Yogyakarta
were the main participants of this study since the collaborative English
teaching program were designed for them. The writer gave the students
questionnaires to obtain information about their understanding and
opinions about collaborative English teaching program, their needs and
difficulties in learning speaking.
5. The English Teachers of ELTI Yogyakarta
In order to evaluate the collaborative teaching English program, the writer
distributed questionnaires to the teachers and conducted class observation
(52)
C. Research Setting
The collaborative teaching English program was conducted in the ELTI
Yogyakarta class. In addition, the writer conducted this research in 22nd September 2009 until 14th October 2009.
D. Research Instruments
To answer the research questions, the writer employed two instruments:
interview and questionnaire. To support the data from interview and
questionnaire, the writer also included the video recording.
1. Interview
To obtain deeper answers from the respondents and the clarity of the
respondents’ answers, the writer used interview. According Fetterman as cited
by Fraenkel and Wallen (1994: 385), “interview is described as the most
important data collection technique a qualitative researcher possesses.”
However, in this study the writer employed semi-structured interview. The
semi-structured interview aimed to enable the participants to answer the
questions freely but still in the line of some principle questions. In order to
keep the interview in track, the writer used interview guideline.
There are two aims of interview in this study. First, it aimed to provide
much information and data. Second, it aimed to find out the research problems’
answers. The interview result is used as additional data to support the primary
(53)
interview questions were intended to reveal the respondents’ response further.
The examples of interview guide could be seen as mentioned below.
Table 3.1 the interview guideline
NO Aspects
1. The descriptions of the collaborative English teaching
program’s background
2. The difficulties in teaching the twelfth grade students
3. The strengths of the collaborative English teaching program
Further, the writer interviewed the Academic Directors of ELTI
Yogyakarta as participants since the academic directors possessed the
knowledge about the program’s backgrounds and characteristics, the students’
needs, the materials, and the teaching learning process.
2. Questionnaire
According to Ary, Jacob, and Razavieh (2002: 396), “questionnaire is
another type of research instrument that aims to investigate the participants’
knowledge, opinions, ideas, and experiences.” There are two types of
questionnaires, namely open-ended questionnaire and closed ended
questionnaire. In the open-ended questionnaire, the participants are free to
answer the questions in order to provide more information. In the closed ended
questionnaire, the answers for the questions have been provided to make it
(54)
This study employed both close-ended and open-ended questionnaires. To
analyze the result, the writer applied Likert scale. According to Fraenkel and
Wallen (1994: 371), “Likert scale assesses attitudes toward a topic by
presenting a set of statements about the topic.” In this research, the
questionnaire provided responses one up to four. The number indicated
whether they strongly agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. In this
research, scale 1 represented strongly agree e. Scale 2 represented agree. Scale
3 represented disagree. The last scale, scale 4 represented strongly disagree.
The various agree-disagree responses are assigned a numeric number and the
total scale is found by summing up the numeric numbers. This total score
represents the individual’s attitude toward the topic.
To provide the answer of the research questions, the questionnaire was
divided into two parts. The first was close-ended. In close-ended question part,
the participants were provided several questions and the participants should
answer based on the provided responses. The writer provided thirteen
questions to be responded. The second part was open-ended. In this part, the
participants were given free opportunity to provide the response to the
questions.
In order to answer the research questions, the writer provided the questions
based on the theories discussed on chapter two. In designing the questionnaire,
(55)
Below is the blueprint of the questionnaire.
Table 3.2 Questionnaire Blueprint
Number Question Description
1. 1 to 2 These two questions gathered information about the participants’ background knowledge about
Collaborative Teaching English Program between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School.
2. 3 to 4 These two questions gathered information about the participants’ perception on Collaborative Teaching English Program between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School.
3. 5 to 8 These four questions gathered information about the participants’ perception on the materials and activities given on Collaborative Teaching English Program between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School.
4. 9 to 13 and A to C
These five questions gathered information about the participants’ perception on the effect of conducting Collaborative Teaching English Program between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School.
Underlying on the blueprint, the questionnaire was divided into four
categories of questions. The first part was asking the respondents’ background
knowledge about Collaborative English Teaching Program between ELTI and
Stella Duce 1 Senior High School. According to Altman et al,(1994: 100) “past
experiences is one of perceptual factors affecting someone’s perception.” The first
two questions dealing with the respondent’s background knowledge about the
collaborative teaching program.
The second part and the third part– the question number three to eight –
(56)
Program between ELTI and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School. To answer the first
research problem, thus questions number three to four were concerned on the
student’ perception.
The fourth part was to address the second and third problems. This part
consisted of five close-ended questions- questions number nine to thirteen. Next,
there were three open-ended questions about the respondents’ perception on the
effect of conducting Collaborative Teaching English Program between ELTI and
Stella Duce 1 Senior High School.
3. Video Recording
According to Bodgan (1982: 104), video recording is one of the methods to
obtain data in qualitative research. Moreover, he states that the visual record taken
from video can help the researcher to remember and help manage the data. In this
research, the writer used video recorder to provide additional data that would be
used to answer the first question listed in the problem formulation. The writer
would take notes based on the visual record or the video in order to give
additional data and support the main data from the questionnaire.
Since the video recording contained what the real situations in the class
activities, the writer supposed that the video recording was also meant to avoid the
data to be biased because of peoples’ eagerness to be polite, to the extent of the
answer that they thought the others wanted to hear rather than correct answer. For
example when a teacher asked the students whether they understood what was
(57)
teacher gave some questions based on what was explained previously, the students
could not give any answer.
Based on the explanation of the research instruments above, the following is the
table of the data collection:

E. Data Gathering Technique
In gathering data and information, the writer conducted library study,
interviews, and distributed questionnaires to answer the research questions. In
distributing questionnaires, the writer asked permission to the Stella Duce 1
senior high school and ELTI Gramedia Yogyakarta. Furthermore, the writer
distributed questionnaires on September 8, 2009 until October 14, 2009 in
ELTI class. For gathering the data by interview, the writer conducted the
interview for four times. The first interview was done on 22nd of September 2009 in ELTI to the Academic Directors of ELTI – Gramedia Yogyakarta. The
second interview was done on September 24, 2009 to the Vice Principal for
Curriculum and the Vice Principal for Public Relations of Stella Duce One
Senior High School Yogyakarta. The third interview was conducted on
October 8, 2009 in ELTI the Academic Directors of ELTI – Gramedia
Yogyakarta. The last interviewed was conducted on 14th of October 2009 to the Stella Duce 1 senior high school English teachers. The interview was
(59)
In interviewing the participants, the writer allowed them to explore and
expand their answers. In addition, the writer also conducted class observation
in order to record the video of the collaborative English teaching activities in
the classroom. The writer conducted the video recording on 8th – 14th October 2009.
Table 3.4 the Writer’s Data Gathering Technique
F. Data Analysis
After the writer carried out interviews and distributed questionnaires to
collect the data, the writer analyzed the recorded interviews as the research
data in order to evaluate the materials.
In this study, the writer calculated the questionnaires data in the form of
percentage before analyzing the data. As stated by Ary, Jacob, and Razavieh
(2002: 125), percentages are calculated by dividing the total number in one
category by the total number in all categories and multiplying the result by
100.

In this particular research, the writer collected the data trough the
questionnaires, afterwards the data were analyzed inductively and referred to
the theory from Kemp (1977) and Bailey (2005) to the result in the
collaborative English teaching program. Furthermore, to answer the first
research question on the contributions of the collaborative English teaching
program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High
School in developing the fluency of students’ speaking skill, the writer
referred to the results of questionnaire, the theory given by Bailey (2005) and
also the theory from Kemp (1977). Next, to answer the second and third
research questions, the writer referred to the results of the questionnaire and
also the Program evaluation theory from Chelimsky (1997: 97-188).
In addition, the writer collected and analyzed the students’ and teachers’
comments and suggestions towards the programs. The writer decided that the
program was considered appropriate if the percentage was above 80%. In
contrast, if the percentage was still below 80%, the writer needed to suggest
some improvements and evaluations for ELTI Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1
(61)
G. Research Procedure
To conduct the research and the development study, the writer made a
systematic procedure in order to formulate the research well. The procedures were
elaborated in five main steps. The first step was making the questionnaire. It
consisted of statements that would be relevant for answering the research
problems. The second step was making the interview questions. The interview
questions were made in order to obtain deeper point of view from the participants.
The third step was distributing the questionnaire to the participants. The fourth
step was conducting the interview. The number of’ interview’s participants were
smaller than the questionnaire’s participants. Then, the fifth step was analyzing
the data gathered from the questionnaire and interview. The data was limited only
on the basis of the writer’s needs. The data was presented in form of description

CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the research findings and the discussion of the
findings. This chapter is an effort to resolve the contributions of the collaborative
English teaching program (research problem no.1), the strengths of the
collaborative English teaching program (research problem no.2) and the
weaknesses of the collaborative English teaching program (research problem
no.3).
A. Research Findings
1. The Contributions of the collaborative English teaching program a. Data Presentation of Interview
To obtain deeper answers from the respondents and the clarity of the
respondents’ answers, the writer used interviews. According to Fetterman as
cited by Fraenkel and Wallen (1994: 385), interview is described as important
data collection technique a qualitative researcher possesses. Further, the
interview had two aims. First, it aimed to provide much information and data.
Second, it aimed to find out the answer the research problems. The interview
result is used as additional data supporting the primary data, questionnaire

1. Descriptions of the collaborative English teaching
program
The collaborative English teaching program at the research setting was classified into an English program in which English active communication is taught by ELTI Yogyakarta in cooperation with Stella Duce 1 senior high school. 2. Description of the program’s
background
Speaking had been taught more intensively since the Ministry of National Education Implements English for active communication as an internally studied subject recently. The students’ responses were positive since the activities in speaking were very interesting.
3. The specification of the collaborative English teaching
program
ELTI applied functional language which is directly used as an English daily communication. Functional language specifically required students to be able to practice their skill in speaking. This program not only deals with speaking but also come together with listening since the focus of this program is on the active skill. 4. Difficulty in teaching the
twelfth grade students
The difficulty in teaching speaking was to get the students’ attention on the teacher as a role model and activities. Since the students were the students of senior high school at twelfth grade which have the same characteristic like the tenth and eleventh grades that enter transitional era from children to adolescence after passing puberty, the teacher had to pay extra attention on handling the classroom management. Interesting and up to date warming up would make the students attracted and motivated in the classroom.

program
There are so many strengths that I found in this program as follows
1. Students can learn English with interesting materials and topics
2. Students can improve their fluency in English.
3. Students get a lot of variation in the learning method and materials.
4. The learning process is very interesting because teachers use games, songs, pictures, cards and so on. The learning process is not only based on textbook.

ABSTRACT
Sawitri, Filomena Tunjung (2009). An Evaluation on the Collaborative English Teaching Program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta: Sanata Dharma University.
Considering the position of English in Indonesian society and the students’ needs to master English to become competitive human resources, the Indonesian Ministry of National Education has decided to adopt some strategies for Indonesian students. One of the strategies is particularly directed for those who are now in the twelfth grade of senior high school to learn English. Implementing English for active communication as an internally studied subject or in Indonesian we called it as a Muatan Lokal indirectly made students become active and critical learners. Unfortunately, there were some difficulties in implementing this subject. Realizing that fact, Stella Duce 1 Senior High School and English Language Training International (ELTI) Yogyakarta then made an agreement to carry out a collaborative teaching for the twelfth grade students from Stella Duce 1 Senior High School to develop the fluency of their Speaking skill.
Moreover, this research resolved three main questions in example: 1) How does collaborative English teaching program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School help the students develop the fluency of their speaking skill? 2) What are the strengths of the collaborative English teaching program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of their Speaking skill? 3) What are the weaknesses of the collaborative English teaching program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta Yogyakarta in developing the fluency of their Speaking skill?
In order to evaluate the collaborative teaching English program, the adaptation of Kemp’s model (1977), some theories related to speaking principles, tasks and activities by Bailey (2005), the collaborative teaching by Fullan (1993) and Lieberman (1995) and program evaluation theory from Chelimsky (1997: 97-188) as cited in Hutchinson and Waters (1994) were employed.
To answer the first research questions, that is aimed to find the students’ fluency developments in collaborative English teaching program from students’ perception, the writer referred to the student’s questionnaire which was distributed on 8th-14th September 2009. In addition, the writer also conducted a library study and also included a video recording of the collaborative English teaching program to support the data. Next, in order to answer the second and the third problem formulations, the writer employed students’ and teachers’ questionnaires’ feedback. Based on the questionnaires’ feedback, it could be concluded that generally the Collaborative Teaching English was well-elaborated and interesting. The materials helped the students focused on learning speaking; it also encouraged the students to be more confident to speak in front of public. In addition, there were some parts that still need some revision such as the materials, the games, the books and the exercises.

Finally, the writer suggested that further research be conducted due to the fact that this thesis merely focuses on the fluency development in the collaborative English teaching program. This thesis can serve as the basis of further research.

ABSTRAK
Sawitri, Filomena Tunjung (2009). An Evaluation on the Collaborative English Teaching Program between ELTI-Gramedia Yogyakarta and Stella Duce 1 Senior High School Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta: Universitas Sanata Dharma.
Mempertimbangkan posisi bahasa Inggris di dalam masyarakat Indonesia dengan kebutuhan siswa akan penguasaan bahasa Inggris untuk menjadi sumber daya manusia yang kompetitif, Kementrian Pendidikan Nasional Indonesia telah memutuskan untuk mengadopsi beberapa strategi bagi siswa Indonesia. Salah satu dari strategi itu secara khusus di tujukan bagi para siswa kelas dua belas untuk mempelajari bahasa Inggris. Diterapkannya bahasa Inggris untuk komunikasi aktif sebagai salah satu mata pelajaran di dalam muatan lokal secara langsung membuat siswa aktif dan kritis.
Sayangnya terdapat kesulitan-kesulitan dalam menerapkan pelajaran ini. Menyadari kenyataan itu, SMA Stella Duce 1 dan ELTI-Gramedia melakukan suatu kesepakatan untuk menjalankan suatu program pengajaran kolaboratif bagi siswi kelas dua belas SMA Stella Duce 1 untuk mengembangkan kefasihan siswi dalam berbicara.
Selebihnya penelitian ini akan menjawab 3 pertanyaan utama, yakni: 1) bagaimanakah program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara. 2) apa sajakah kelebihan dari program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 dalam membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara.. 3) apa sajakah kekurangan program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara. Dalam melaksanakan penelitian ini, penulis menerapkan metode survey yang menggunakan wawancara dan kuesioner sebagai alat mengumpulkan data.
Untuk mengevaluasi program pengajaran kolaboratif dan untuk menjawab pertanyaan pertama , penulis mengadaptasi Kemp Instructional Design Model (1977) sebagai kerangka kerja dalam mengevaluasi materi yang sudah didisain. Sebagai tambahan, beberapa teori yang berkaitan tentang aturan-aturan, latihan dan juga aktfitas berbicara menurut Bailey (2005); teori pengajaran kolaboratif menurut Fullan (1993) dan Lieberman (1995), serta teori evaluasi program menurut Chelimsky (1997: 97-188) yang dikutip dari pendapat Hutchinson dan Waters (1994)
Selanjutnya, untuk mencari tahu perkembangan kefasihan siswi di dalam program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1, penulis menggunakan hasil dari kuesioner siswi yang telah diujikan pada tanggal 8-14 September 2009. Sebagai tambahan, selain penulis menggunakan beberapa buku teori pustaka, penulis juga menyertakan rekaman video yang berisikan kegiatan di dalam program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1. Berdasarkan hasil dari umpan balik kuesioner tersebut, dapat dilihat bahwa program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 membantu siswi mengembangkan kefasihan mereka dalam berbicara. Selanjutnya untuk menjawab pertanyaan kedua dan ketiga, penulis
(6)
menggunakan umpan bailik dari kuesioner guru dan kuesioner siswi. Berdasarkan umpan balik dari kuesioner itu maka dapat disimpulkan secara umum bahwa program pengajaran kolaboratif telah dijabarkan dengan baik dan menarik. Materi-materi ini membantu siswi dalam belajar bahasa Inggrios, dan juga memotivasi siswi untuk lebih berani berbicara di depan umum. Akan tetapi, masih ada beberapa bagian yang memerlukan perbaikan seperti materi, permainan, buku, dan latihan-latihan.
Akhirnya, penulis juga mengusulkan agar diadakan penelitian lanjutan karena skripsi ini hanya terbatas pada melihat perkembangan kefasihan siswi berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris melalui program pengajaran kolaboratif antara ELTI – Stella Duce 1 Yogyakarta. Skripsi ini dapat berfungsi sebagai landasan bagi penelitian yang lebih lanjut.
