Abstract
The objective of this research was to improve the practice of teaching speaking and, as a consequence, the speaking skill of grade XI students of SMA Negeri 2 Playen in the academic year of 2012/2013 through the use of Readers Theatre.This research followed the action research design which is collaborative in nature. In doing the research, the researcher collaborated with one of the English teachers of SMA Negeri 2 Playen. This research was conducted in two cycles following the steps of reconnaissance, planning, action and observation, reflection, and data analysis. The data of the research were qualitative and quantitative. The analysis process of the qualitative data dealt mostly with qualitative description. The quantitative data were compared by using the T-test and charts. The research findings show that the teaching and learning processes were gradually improved in terms of preparation, presentation, teaching methods/techniques/strategies, teacher-students interaction, and students’ involvement and motivation. There is a significant difference between students’ speaking scores in the pre-test and those in the pos-test because “t observed” > “t table” (13.600 > 3.707) and “sig” < “α” (0.000 < 0.05) according to the researcher, and “t observed” > “t table” (17.260 > 3.707) and “sig” < “α” (0.000 < 0.05) according to the English teacher. The “mean” scores of the paired differences (post-test – pre-test) are 5.963 (positive) according to researcher’s assessment, and 5.778 (positive) according to English teacher’s assessment. They show that the students’ post-test scores are significantly higher than their pre-test scores. Both the qualitative and quantitative findings of this research showed that there was a significant improvement in grade XI students’ speaking skill due to the implementation of this classroom action research. In conclusion, the research taken on the use of Readers Theatre to improve the practice of teaching speaking and, as a consequence, the speaking skill of grade XI students of SMA Negeri 2 Playen in the academic year of 2012/2013 was successful.
