Abstract
IMPROVING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILL THROUGH SIMULATION AT GRADE X OF SMA N 1 PRAMBANAN SLEMAN IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2012/2013 By: KHANIFAH NUR HASANAH 08202244001 Abstract This research is aimed at improving class XD students’ speaking skill of SMA N 1 Prambanan Sleman through simulation. It is expected that simulation can improve the students’ speaking skill. Based on the observation, there are some problems in the teaching and learning of speaking. To solve those problems, the researcher implemented simulation as a speaking activity. In doing the research, the researcher involved 32 students of Class XD, an English teacher as a collaborator and the researcher herself. This research was conducted in two cycles. The instruments for collecting the data were observation checklist, interview guidelines and the tests. Data of this research were qualitative and supported by quantitative data. Qualitative data were obtained from the results of classroom observation, interview and discussion with the collaborator in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. Quantitative data were obtained from the tests in the form of pre-test and post test scores. The validity of the data was obtained by applying democratic validity, outcome validity, process validity, catalytic validity and dialogic validity. Meanwhile, the researcher used time triangulation and researcher triangulation for achieving data reliability. The research finds that: (1) the use of simulation can help the students to improve their speaking skills. The student can speak in natural hesitation and with unambiguous sound, use appropriate intonation and pauses, use simple and complex grammatical structure correctly, use many vocabulary variations and appropriate word choices.; (2) the use of simulation can motivate students and make enjoyable learning activities so that the students become actively involved and interested in the teaching and learning process.; (3) the use of simulation can give students more chances for practicing speaking therefore the students can lose their fears of making mistakes and be more confident.; (4) the use of simulation can improve students’ fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and accuracy. It can be seen from the result of the tests. The mean for fluency in the pre-test is 5.77 and increased to 7.83 in the post-test. The mean of pronunciation aspect also increased from 5.45 in the pre-test to 7.75 in the post-test. The mean of vocabulary aspect increased from 5.50 in the pre-test to 7.57 in the post-test. The accuracy mean score also increased from 5.83 in the pre-test to 7.72 in the post-test.
