English teacher and the students. This research study applied communicative tasks
in the forms of role play and simulation as the main actions. The researcher used
role play in Cycle I and simulation in Cycle II. The data were obtained by
observing the teaching and learning process, interviewing the collaborator,
holding discussions with the collaborator, interviewing the students, and taking
pictures during the actions. The instruments of this study were observation sheets,
interview sheets, speaking rubric, a recorder, and a camera. The data collected
were qualitative in nature and were analyzed from the fieldnotes and interview
transcripts during the actions. To avoid the subjective analysis, investigator and
time triangulation were used. Democratic, process, outcome, catalytic, and

involvement, and speaking performance. Based on the research conducted, the use
of communicative tasks in this study successfully improved the learning of

performance in the pre-test successfully improve their skills so that they were
included to have ?exemplary? performance in the post-test. (3) the implementation
of communicative tasks also improved the students? interaction during the English
teaching and learning process. All implemented actions were successful to make
the students active in joining the English teaching and learning process.
