Abstract
This study was aimed at improving the teaching learning process and students’ speaking ability by the use of interactive group work activities for students of Class X PM 1 of SMKN 1 Depok. This research is an action research study. The subjects of the study were 31 students of Class X PM 1 of SMKN 1 Depok in the 2013/2014 academic year. The data were collected by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the action, giving questionnaires to the students and teachers, interviewing the students and the English teacher, giving worksheets to the students, taking pictures of the teaching and learning process, and conducting discussions with the English teacher, collaborators, and the students. The instruments used in this research were questionnaires, interview guide, observation sheet, and tests. The use of interactive group work activities was aimed at improving the students’ speaking ability. The activities were intended to encourage the students to actively employ English so that they became gradually accustomed to speak in English. Based on the observations during teaching and learning activities and interviews, the result of the two cycles showed that interactive group work activities were successful to improve the teaching learning process and the students’ speaking ability. Interactive group work activities were really useful in terms of encouraging students to speak in English especially generating students’ ideas by using the legible grammar and expression in speaking with intelligible pronunciation. At the end of cycle 2, students became more familiar with the sound of English and became more fluent in employing English. The improvement of students’ speaking ability was also measured quantitatively by considering the result of the pre-test and post-test. It was found that the mean of the pre test was 32. 96. Meanwhile, in the post-test the mean of the score was 35. 25.
