Abstract

USING COMMUNICATIVE TASKS TO IMPROVE THE ELEVENTH GRADE SCIENCE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS AT MAN WONOSARI GUNUNGKIDUL IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2012/ 2013 Written by Pradityana Lutfatul Azizah NIM. 06202241011 ABSTRACT The objective of the research is to improve the speaking skills of the eleventh grade science students at MAN Wonosari in the academic year of 2012/2013 using the Communicative Tasks. This study was action research consisting of two cycles and used a qualitative method. The researcher worked collaboratively with the English teacher, the collaborator, and the students. The participants of this research were 21 students of class XI IPA 2 at MAN Wonosari, Gunungkidul, in the academic year of 2012/2013. The data of this study were qualitative. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the actions and interviewing the students, the English teacher and the collaborator about the implemented actions. This qualitative data were in the forms of field notes and interview transcripts. The results of Cycle I show that the implementation of communicative tasks and other accompanying actions (i.e. using classroom English, pair work and group work, giving feedback on students’ pronunciation, etc) were successful in improving the students’ speaking ability and their involvement during the teaching and learning process. However, the communicative tasks which were implemented through group work in retelling story were not successful because there were some students who were not actively engaged in the tasks/ activities. Therefore, the researcher improved that action by giving each student a different responsibility to finish the task. Meanwhile, it was shown in Cycle II that the implementation of communicative tasks through role plays and other accompanying actions (i.e. using classroom English, pair work and group work giving rewards, giving feedback on students’ pronunciation, etc) were successful in improving the students’ speaking skills and involvement in the English teaching and learning process.
