Abstract

This study was aimed at improving the speaking learning process for Grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 3 Gamping. Based on the preliminary observations, interviews, and questionnaire, it was found out that the speaking learning process was poor. The students had limited chance to practice speaking and the class was also quite big with multiple proficiency levels. This action research was done collaboratively with the English teacher by focusing on the implementation of Think-Pair-Share to deal with the problems of teaching and learning of speaking. This study was qualitative in nature. The data of this study were obtained by observing the teaching-learning process during the implementation of the action. The action was implementing Think-Pair-Share in speaking learning process. Some interviews with the students and some discussions with the teacher were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the action. Questionnaire was also used to find out the improvement of the student’s speaking learning process after the implementation of the action. The data were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and the results of the questionnaire. The student’s speaking scores were also provided to support the data. The data validity was obtained by applying democratic, outcome, process, catalytic, and dialogic validity. The result of this study shows that Think-Pair-Share activity was effective to improve the student’s speaking learning process. It could be seen from the students’ increase of interest, motivation, and actively participation in joining the speaking learning process. When they asked to have a conversation with some native speakers, they actively spoke with them. Besides, the student’s speaking score also improved. It could be seen from the result of the pre-test which was done before the action and post-test which was done in the end of the action. From the evidence, it could be concluded that Think-Pair-Share could improve the speaking learning process for grade VIII students of SMP N 3 Gamping.
