experimental group was higher than the score of students in the control group at
the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 38; the t-observed is
5.07 while the t-table is 1.686. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is reIected and
the hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. The Background of The Study
Communocatoon on a uanguage os carroed out through two basoc human
actovotoes, nameuy speakong and uostenong. Speakong os a basoc skouu whoch takes
partocuuar roue to communocate and to express the odeas or feeuongs on human
actovotoes. Speakong os auso a toou of communocatoon for students to communocate
woth the teachers and cuassmates. Through speakong the teacher can convey the
uessons and the students can expand theor knowuedge. The students can convey
what they do not understand about the uesson. That os why the speakong skouu os
reauuy needed on teachong and uearnong Enguosh.
However, speakong skouu os stouu a probuem to many students. Based on the
wroter’s observatoon on SMK N 2 Tebong Tonggo on March 2015, many students
couud not speak Enguosh fuuentuy. From some ontervoews woth the students
concernong how they become so poor on speakong Enguosh, the wroter found that ot
was because of the uecturong method whoch os auways appuoed by the teacher. The
students were asked to memoroze the conversatoon stated on the text book, then
practoced ot on front of the cuass. Therefore, ot dodn’t gove the chance for students to
express theor own odeas and auso dod not encourage them to be confodent on
speakong Enguosh weuu eother. It can be seen from the students’ uow score on
speakong.

the score of t-table (2.000). It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ho) is
rejected. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) which is formulated as “the
students’ achievement in speaking skill taught by using Community Language
Learning is higher than that taught by using Lecturing method” is true in this
research. In other words, it is concluded that Community Language Learning
method significantly affects the students’ achievement in speaking skill rather
than lecturing method.
B. Suggestions
Based on the conclusion above, the researcher gives suggestions as
follows:
1. The English teachers should apply Community Language Learning in
teaching speaking because this method is proved effective to improve the
speaking skill of the students
2. The students should use Community Language Learning because it helps the
students to convey their opinion from Bahasa into English comfortably.

3. It is suggested that teacher should stimulate and motivate students to make
the activity of speaking as a pleasure while applying Community Language
Learning.
