Abstract

AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEARNING STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE THE SPEAKING SKILLS OF THE VIII A STUDENTS OF SMPN 5 DEPOK IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2009/2010 by Rr. Putri Pranitaningrum 05202244157 ABSTRACT This research is aimed at describing the tendencies of the students’ memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies which are used to improve their speaking skills and the effects of the students’ learning strategies on their speaking skills. The subjects of this research were the VIII A students of SMPN 5 Depok. The researcher collected the data by distributing the questionnaires, observing the teaching-learning processes, and conducting interviews with the students and teacher. The data were then analyzed using descriptive qualitative method and based on Oxford’s theory of learning strategies. To get the trustworthiness of the data, the researcher used the triangulation technique. The results of the research show that (1) in memory strategies, the students tend to use the strategy of structured reviewing. It is because the students can remember learning materials easily using this strategy. (2) In cognitive strategies, the students tend to use the strategy of using resources for receiving and sending messages. The resources that are used by the students are English films, English programs on TV and radio, songs, and dictionary. (3) In compensation strategies, the students tend to use the strategy of switching to the mother tongue because it is an easy way to compensate for missing knowledge. (4) In metacognitive strategies, the students tend to pay attention to the teacher when she speaks English. It is because they want to understand what is said by the teacher and to learn pronunciation. (5) In affective strategies, the students tend to use the strategy of rewarding because this strategy can improve their motivation. (6) In social strategies, the students tend to use the strategy of asking for correction because this strategy can help them to identify a mistake that they have made and correct it. (7) There are nine effects of the use of learning strategies on their speaking skills, such as the students can remember the materials easily, speak English fluently, improve their confidence, pronounce words correctly, overcome limitations in speaking, learn pronunciation and understand what is said by the teacher, identify the mistake that they made and correct it, improve their motivation, and monitor their speaking skills’ improvement.
