Abstract
The study was aimed to improve the self confidence in speaking practice by using role play techniques for the eight grade students of SMP Muhammadyah 3 Yogyakarta. It tried to find the actual problems in the field and then solve them collaboratively. This study was action research. The subjects of the research were the eight grade students of SMP Muhammadyah 3 Yogyakarta. This action was qualitative research which was carried out in two cycles. The researcher collaborated with the English teacher and the students in implementing the actions. The steps to solve the problems were reconnaissance, planning, observing and action, and reflect some actions. The research instruments for collecting data were observation sheets, interview guidelines and a camera. The data collection techniques were observing the English teaching and learning process in the classroom, interviewing the English teacher and the students and taking documentation during the English teaching and learning processes which were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts and pictures. The data were analyzed in 3 stages: reducing the data, displaying the data and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that there were some improvements in the students’ self-confidence. Related to the teaching-learning process of speaking, it was shown that role play techniques like guided role play and the use of some role cards, cue cards, colorful pictures and other accompanying actions (teaching the students’ pronunciation, asking the students to practice role play, asking the students to perform in front of the class, and giving feedback) gave the students a lot of opportunities to be more active. In Cycle I, there were some unsuccessful actions. Meanwhile, in Cycle II, the implementation of role play techniques was successful in improving the students’ self-confidence in speaking practice.
