6 1. Introduction Background of the Study: English is very important for people. English is very important to make communication among the country. People can use language for communication to express their ideas, opinions, etc. According to Celce Murcia, Dongei and Thurrel (1995: 5) language is communication that prepares students to communicate with students to know themselves, culture and the other culture. Students can use language for communicating and sharing their idea in society. English consists of four skills, they are speaking, listening, reading and writing. Each of them has difficulty depend on people who study them, and has relation to each other. According to Lazaraton in Celce Murcia, (2002: 103) speaking is an activity that integrates many subsystem and all of these factors combine to make speaking a second or foreign language a formidable task for language learners. In teaching speaking, teacher may or may not uses textbooks or materials for teaching speaking. Then, reading is the language skill that students need to read texts for study. Reading also has important role for language acquisition. The next is listening. Listening comprehension is now regarded as a prerequisite for oral proficiency as well as an important skill its own right. The last is writing. Writing has always occupied in English language course. It also has important role in language learning and language acquisition. In the teaching learning process of English in education, there are four skills to be mastered in order to students can know English maximally. One of important language skill is speaking. Speaking is always taught in most English course. Speaking helps the students communicate in the target language. Speaking capacity of students in school had been undervalued. So, English teacher must apply teaching speaking that more communicative in order to students easily to speak. The goal of teaching speaking is communicative skill achievement. Speaking skill is not only speaking, but also is more than talking. Teaching speaking skill is focused on making student 6

7 active and creative. The students learn to think what they are going to say with other in the front of the class. According to Richards and Rodgers (1993: 26) in Fauziati (2009: 17) there are three level dimensions to a method at the level of procedures. They are the use of teaching activities, the ways where particular teaching activities, and the procedures and techniques. Method is divided into three elements which form an interdependent system. These elements are approach, design, and procedure. Richards and Rodgers (1978: 146) in Fauziati (2009: 17) define these three elements as follow: Approach as assumption, beliefs, and theories about the nature of language and the nature of language learning which operate as axiomatic contrasts or reference points and provide the theoretical foundation for what language teachers ultimately do with learners in classroom. Design specifies the relationship between theories of language and theories of learning to both the form and function of instructional materials and activities in instructional setting. Procedure comprises the classroom techniques and practices which are consequences of particular approaches and design. SMP N 1 Karangdowo obliges its students to learn English. In teaching speaking, the teacher usually find problems with teaching learning speaking for their students, join the meaning of the real word in English to Indonesian because their students usually feel bored at class easily when they are taught English lesson. Based the phenomenon above, the writer tries to investigate the method used in teaching speaking when the teacher teach speaking to reach the goals of teaching-learning. In the addition, the fact is that most of the students usually get difficulties in understanding the speaking. Based on the reasons above, the writer conducted the research entitle the Method Used in Teaching Speaking to the Second Year Students of SMP N 1 Karangdowo, Klaten in Academic Year 2012/2013.

Research Finding and Discussion Research Finding The description of method used in teaching learning of speaking to the second year students of SMP N 1 Karangdowo in academic year 2012/2013 a. Approach for Learning Theory Based on the observation which is done by the writer, the teacher used different learning theory in teaching speaking. The teacher, Mr. SG used constructivism theory in which the students are require to participate and to discuss in class and trained to build creative thinking, problem solving abilities, and self confidence. The teacher asked students to join with their friend to make conversation together. Mr. SW s class, he used humanism theory. It focuses more on the development of individual s selfconcept and his personal sense of reality. The teacher order the students to read the dialogue or conversation then the teacher asked the students to response to the given utterance. b. The Design Richards and Rodgers outline (1986), the design includes objectives, linguistic content, activities, learner roles, teacher roles, and the role of instructional materials. 1) Learning Objective The writer knows that almost learning objectives of speaking are to train the students more speaking and to apply their language skills in oral communication. Learning objective of speaking in Mr. SG and Mr. SW s class is such as: Basically, the objective of teaching speaking in Junior High School is to train the students in order to speak or do short dialogue transactional/interpersonal with other for 9

10 interacting with around of nature. (September. 1 st 2012) From the teacher s said, the writer can concluded the learning objectives of speaking are to make the student speak well and to make the student write short dialog. 2) Syllabus Model Both of Mr. SG and Mr. SW used the same syllabus in teaching speaking. They are asked to create based on their each ability. Based on the observation which is done the writer, they use text based syllabus because in teaching learning speaking, the teacher learnt based on the material, namely: descriptive and recount texts. Textbased syllabus can be used in teaching or learning the communicative purposes. 3) Teacher s Role The teacher has the biggest role in the classroom. (a) Teacher as a Manager. The teacher as a manager should be able to manage the class in order that make the teaching learning speaking effective and meaningful. For example: The teacher asked the students to prepare the material before begin the lesson. The teacher reminds the students whom make noisy in the class. (b) Teacher as facilitator. The teacher facilitates the students in order that understand the material well. For example: The teacher delivers the material clearly. The teacher gives chance to ask for the students every time when the students don t understand about the material. And then the teacher will explain again. (c) Teacher as motivator. The teacher always gives motivation to the students. For example: The teacher said to the students to make their own to active practice the conversation in front 10

11 4) Student s Role of class. And to the students who not active the teacher gives spirit in order to brave perform and speak confidently. please students show your performance in front of class. I will give you point if you want to perform. In this case, the students have the role as doer of learning. They practice the short dialogue to be conducted in front of class with their partner. Beside that, they asked to retell the stories about some topics on front of class too. They must be active in the class. So, they are not only as object in which just got the material from the teacher. 5) Evaluation Based on the observation that is done by the writer, the Mr. SG and Mr. SW almost have same technique for evaluating the students competence and to know how far the students understand the material. The evaluation is done by mid-test and final-test.

The material that is used by Mr. SG and Mr. SW in teaching speaking is taken from handout, the handout is taken from book Intan Pariwara. Based on the writer s observation, the teachers always use whiteboard to write new vocabularies and also it is used by the students to write their idea in the classroom. c. Classroom Procedure The classroom is divided into pre-activity, main-activity, and postactivity. 1) Pre-activity In this activity includes the apperception and motivation. Before did teaching learning process, the teacher open the meeting by greeting. 11

12 a) Apperception Based on the observation done by the writer, the teacher did review to the students by using answering question about the characteristics and example of descriptive text. For example: T : S : T : b) Motivation Based on the explanation that I give yesterday, please show me the characteristics about the descriptive text. Describe the place, people, and thing. Any other? The teacher explained the activities which will be done by the students and give motivation the students in order to the students are more active in classroom activity. T : 2) Main-activity Now, we will learn about the monolog descriptive that the topic is place. In here, you must be active to speak English in front of the class.

Example: T : Ss : T : Any question about the material today? No, Sir. Ok. The next meeting, we will learn about the monolog descriptive. So, I hope you learn in the home before. 13

14 b) Giving homework. The teacher gives homework to the students about the material that learnt today. It s meant in order to the students can deep the material and the students study in the home. c) Closing In this activity, the teacher closed the meeting. T : Ss : T : Ss : d. Strengths and Weaknesses 1) Strengths Because nothing the questions, lets close our meeting by saying Hamdalah together. Alhamdulillah hirobbil alamin Wassalamu alaikum Wr. Wb. See you next time. Walaikumusalam Wr. Wb. Strengths and weaknesses are: a) The teacher had complete role. One of the example of the role is he can motivate the students to be active in teaching speaking. b) The students as a subject, so the students more active and creative in teaching speaking. c) The material which is used Intan Pariwara. This handbook is completed by picture so the students easily to understand. 2) The Weaknesses Discussion a) The teacher didn t use the media maximally. b) Target language is used rarely, it makes the students less understand in English. Here, the writer compares the result of the finding with the previous research and theory. Approach is the theory which underlain the teaching learning process. The teacher used constructivism and humanism approaches. In constructivism, the students asked to join with their friend to make conversation together. In humanism, the teacher orders the students to read the 14

15 dialogue or conversation then the teacher asked the students to response to the given utterance. This activity can be applied in the theory of Fauziati (2005). The design includes objectives, linguistic content, activities, learner roles, teacher roles, and the role of instructional materials. From the data which is gotten by the writer, learning objective of speaking is basically to make students speaking well and increase the ability of students speaking in order to they can communicative efficiently with the correct pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency. The writer tried to compare the objective of Harris theory. The type of syllabus of speaking in second year students of SMP N 1 Karangdowo is text based syllabus. Teachers hold an important role in teaching speaking, and they have same roles. As facilitator, the teacher provides the material to the students. As classroom manager, the teacher manages the class by reminding the students who make noises in the classroom. As instructor, teacher gives direction and instruction to the students in the teaching learning process. Littlewood (1981: 92) stated the roles of the teacher in teaching learning are as facilitator, as classroom manager, as instructor, as consultant, and as evaluator. The writer concludes that the teacher s role in teaching speaking is suitable with Littlewood s theory. The students as the subject not object, the teacher give them opportunity to express their ideas, the teacher motivates the students to be active. Johnson and Paulson (1976) in Richard (1986) stated that learner s role to plain their own learning program and this ultimately assume responsibility for what they do in the classroom. The material used by the teacher is book that title Intan Pariwara Yusak (2004) defines the material of speaking such as: spoof, report, recount, narrative, procedure, description, explanation, and discussion. Here the most of material of speaking used in teaching speaking is genre texts. The writer concludes that the material of speaking has suitability with Yusak s theory. And the media used by the teacher is whiteboard and LCD. The procedure is divided into three activities, namely; pre activity, main activity, and post activity. Carolina Terry said in her article How to Teach Speaking in an EFL Class that teaching speaking has three stages or 15

16 procedures, namely: pre-communicative stage, practice stage, and communicative interaction or production stage. So, the writer concludes that the process of students speaking is suitable with the theory of Carolina Terry in her article. Classroom technique used by the teacher is discussion and problem solving, but the teacher is more dominant with using discussion than problem solving. Fauziati (2010: 18-28) stated the techniques that can include in classroom activity are role playing, games, problem solving, discussion, and song. The writer concludes that the classroom technique of speaking has suitability with Fauziati s theory. Based on the writer s observation, teaching learning process of speaking has strength and weakness which has difference and similarity with the previous finding.strengths are the teacher had complete role. One of the example of the role is he can motivate the students to be active in teaching speaking, the students as a subject, so the students more active and creative in teaching speaking, the material which is used Intan Pariwara. This handbook is completed by picture so the students easily to understand. The Weaknesses are the teacher didn t use the media maximally, target language is used rarely, it makes the students less understand in English. 4.
