Abstract
IMPROVING THE SECOND GRADE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH INFORMATION GAP ACTIVITIES AT SMP N 2 SLEMAN IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2010/2011 By Oviana Puspitasari 06202244020 ABSTRACT This research study is aimed at improving the students’ speaking skills through information gap activities at SMP N 2 Sleman. To limit the aspects to be analysed in this study, the researcher formulates three research questions: (1) How are the information gap activities implemented in the second grade of SMP N 2 Sleman?, (2) How can information gap activities be applied to improve the students’ speaking skills?, and (3) How are the students’ responses to the implementation of information gap activities? The study was action research in two cycles. In the study, the researcher collaborated with the English teacher and the second grade students of SMP N 2 Sleman. Data of this study were qualitative in nature supported by quantitative data. Qualitative data were obtained from the results of classroom observation and collaborators’ discussion. Quantitative data were obtained from pre-test and post test results. The instruments for collecting the data were observation guides, interview guides and the pre-test and post test batteries. The data were in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and the scores of the students’ pre-test and post test. A ttest was used for the analysis of the quantitative data. The findings of the data analyses show that (1) The implementation of classroom English during the information gap activities can improve the students’ speaking skills; (2) The implementation of information gap activities through jigsaw tasks in the forms of pair and group works activities can improve the students’ speaking skills; (3) The use of feedback to correct the students’ pronunciation can help the students to improve their speaking skills; (4) The use of time duration is effective to control the students in finishing their works on time; (5) There is an increase of average scores of 5.1111 from 26.8333 (pre-test) to 31.9444 (post test). According to the t statistic, the difference is significant at p <0.05.
