Abstract

USING COMMUNICATIVE ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE THE SPEAKING SKILLS OF THE VII G STUDENTS AT SMP N 1 IMOGIRI IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2011/2012 By: Ida Daniati 07202244077 ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to improve speaking skills of VII G students of SMP N 1 Imogiri in the academic year of 2011/2012. This is action research. This research consisted of two cycles with three meetings in each cycle. The subjects of this research were the students of VII G, the English teacher as the teacher, and the researcher herself. The techniques of collecting data were by filling observation checklist forms, observing the teaching and learning process, interviewing the English teacher and students, taking photographs, and scoring students’ speaking. Hence, the data were in the forms of observation checklist forms, field notes, interview transcripts, photos, and students’ speaking scores. In analyzing those data, the researcher used two methods namely qualitative and quantitative methods. In analyzing the qualitative data, the researcher did three steps namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. In analyzing the quantitative data in the form of students’ speaking test were analyzed by comparing the mean scores. The results of this research show that the use of communicative activities in combination with using the classroom English, using media, giving feedback on the students’ pronunciation, and giving rewards is able to improve the students’ speaking skills. Based on qualitative data sources, the students are able to speak at the normal speed, use language without grammatical errors, speak in the correct pronunciation, use appropriate words, respond to the instructions and questions, and join the teaching and learning activities enthusiastically. Based on quantitative data sources, the students’ speaking scores in the two cycles increased. From the data sources elaborated above, it can be concluded that the students’ speaking skills improve.
