CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

In Indonesia, English is considered the first foreign language. It is

taught formally from elementary school up to university level because

English is very important and has many interrelationships with various

aspects of life owned by human being. Entering the era of globalization or

better known as the free market requires every individual to prepare

resources that are reliable, especially in the fields of science and

technology. In this case the role of English is needed in communication

technology to interact directly.

There are four skills in English language that should be mastered,

they are: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The reading skill

became very important in the education field, students need to be

exercised and trained in order to have a good reading skill. The students

should be able to master more vocabulary if they want to learn the four

skills. Without speaking, we are like dumb persons. Most of us are

familiar with how people feel about appearances, but the manner in which

you speak is also important. Even if you are dressed nicely, using poor

grammar will show that you are wolf in sheep's clothing. You might look

nice on the outside, but you're not so nice in the inside. To succeed, you

must focus on your appearance as well as your manner of speaking.

Competence-oriented is used in the curriculum today, meaning that

students are required to have certain competencies or skills as a result of

the learning process at school. Competency-based education is emphasized

on the ability to be possessed by graduates of the education level.

Competence is often called the standard of competence or the ability

which generally must be mastered graduates. Therefore, the

implementation of competency-based education is expected to produce

graduates who are able to compete at the global level.

Learning and speaking English is an important step in the

settlement process because it helps newcomers obtain better jobs, get

involved in their communities, participate in events, vote with confidence

and express themselves. Therefore, the writer is interested in Teaching

English Speaking to the students in SMP N 1 Masaran and the apprentice

held job training as an English teacher at SMP N 1 Masaran especially for

the first grade students of Junior High School in focusing this final

project.The apprentice wants to complete the data for final project report

CHAPTER II

LITERATURE REVIEW

In chapter II, the writer is going to discuss the literature review

related to the topics of the final project. Here, three topics are presented,

teaching, teaching English speaking to young learners, and techniques of

teaching speaking.

A. Teaching

“Teaching is guiding, facilitating, learning, enabling the learner to

learn, and setting the condition for learning” (Brown, 2000:7). It means

that, the teacher should guide the students in learning process. Teacher

does not only guide a student, but also facilitate the students in materials.

The teacher gives material and asks students to do the assignment from the

teacher.

According to Bill Page (http://teachers.net/gazette/JAN02/page.html),

“Teaching is relationship between teacher and learner. The learner gets the

benefit of the learning, while the teacher gets credit for the teaching." It

can be concluded that, teaching is a process of learning between teacher

and students. In learning, students can receive material that is given by

teachers, and teachers also get benefit from the learning.

http://teachers.net/gazette/JAN02/page.html

Teaching is managing situation and condition of learning activity. The

teacher has to manage the class and gives assignment that will be useful

for the students and the teacher.

B. Teaching English Speaking to Young learners

Speaking is "the process of building and sharing meaning through the

use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts" (Chaney,

1998:13). Speaking is a crucial part of second language learning and

teaching. As a result, Students are expected to express themselves and

learn how to follow verbal and non-verbal symbols appropriate in each

communicative circumstance.

Teaching speaking to young learners is an interesting and challenging

duty for teachers for some considerations. In one hand, young learners are

individuals of very early age who are interested in many new things such

as a foreign language, English. Young learners will enthusiast in learning,

if we often praise them. Due to the praise, they would like the material that

we teach and they will be motivated to learn English happily. “Young

Learners are enthusiastic and positive about learning. We all thrive on

doing well and being praised for what we do and this is especially true for

young learners. It is important to praise them if they are to keep their

enthusiasm and feel successful from the beginning. If we label children

failures, then they believe us.”(Scott&Ytreberg 2000:3).

From the definition above, it can be concluded that Teacher should

provide maximum opportunity to the students to speak the target language

by providing a rich environment that contains collaborative work,

authentic materials and tasks, and shared knowledge.

C. Techniques of Teaching English Speaking to Children

1. Mulyono state that, there are three skills in teaching speaking,

guided speaking, responsive speaking, and productive speaking.

a. Guided Speaking

Guided speaking is emphasized on pronunciation and limited

speaking with clue or track that has been planned.

b. Responsive Speaking

The ability of the students in speaking can be stimulated from

reading (English only), and reading has many vocabularies and

structure of language. In this second technique, the ability of

students in English speaking appears with stimulate reading

c. Productive Speaking


commit to user

8

Speaking a broad discourse is the main purpose of this

technique. However, it can be obtained if the student has

mastered the first and the second technique well.

(http://myenglish01.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/teknik-

pengajaran-speaking-conversation/).

2. Suggestopedia

“Suggestopedia is a teaching method, which focuses on how to

deal with the relationship between mental potential and learning

efficacy and it is very appropriate to use in teaching speaking for

young language learners” (Xue, 2005:27). By using this teaching

method, Young language learners can lower their affective filter.

3. Using comfortable environment.

In the classroom, the chairs are arranged semicircle and faced the

black or white board in order to make the students pay more

attention and get more relaxed. The light in the classroom is dim in

order to make the students’ mind more relaxed.

4. Reporting the topic

Before coming to class, students are asked to read a newspaper or

magazine and, in class, they report to their friends what they find

as the most interesting news. Students can also talk about whether

they have experienced anything worth telling their friends in their

daily lives before class.

5. Using Pictures

The teacher gives a picture at random. Students sort the pictures

and tell the events in the picture. Using pictures can develop

teaching speaking process.

As well as enjoying pictures they also form a key resource

for accessing the different learning styles that each student

has. Using pictures really appeals to visual learners who

may suffer in a speaking and listening based classroom.

They also offer an opportunity for movement and a multi-

dimensional perspective which will reach our kinesthetic

learners. Available at

condition of the classes and how to manage the classes there.

2. Making lesson plan

The writer had to make a lesson plan before teaching. The writer

should consult with English teacher of SMP N 1 Masaran before

given by English teacher.

a. Building Knowledge of Field

In BKOF the writer refreshes the students’ mind. The writer

also reminded them to the previous material, expression like

writer greeted the students as follows:

The writer : Good morning students!

Students : Good morning Miss.

The writer : How are you?

Students : I’m fine miss, thank you. And You?


commit to user

The writer : I’m fine too. Thank you.

After that the writer asked the students about the last material.

b. Explaining the material


commit to user

15

In this part, the writer gave material that was still in touch with

the last material. The writer explained how to express like and

dislike in English speaking. The writer wrote some expressions

of like and dislike on the white board and the students try to

pronounce the expressions. The writer still guided them to

pronounce the expressions. She also gave the meaning of the

words in the material.

They, We, I, You + like, love …..

He, She, It, Father, Mother, name( Andi, Budi, Dian) +

likes, loves ….

Ekspresi tidak suka (dislike):

They, We, I, You + dislike, hate, do not like ….

He, She, It, Father, Mother, name( Andi, Budi, Dian) +

dislikes, hates, does not like ….

c. Joint construction text

In joint construction of text, the students work in small group.

The purpose was to make the students interact and share with

their friends. The writer asked the students to talk about the

foods that they like or dislike. The students wrote the foods,

and then they mentioned the foods in front of class with the

correct expressions.

d. Independent construction text


commit to user

16

In this part, the student worked individually. The writer gave

some exercises to the students and guided them to do the

exercises. The writer did assessment here.

Select a suitable verb in every sentence!

1. Budi (like/likes) playing badminton

2. I (like/likes) meatball

3. She (love/loves) a cup of coffee

4. My mother (like/likes) a plate of spaghetti

5. They (love/loves) playing hide and seek

writer closed the class and said “Thanks for your attention and

see you” to the students. After that, one of the students led to

pray together.

C. The methods used to teach English Speaking to the first grade

students of SMP N 1 Masaran

1. Discussion (problem solving)

In this technique, the writer asked the students to have a group

consisting of four persons. The writer gave a topic about “food”.

She asked the students to discuss the food that they like or dislike.

The students had to speak in English when they discussed. After

that, the writer asked the students to practice their speaking skill in

front of the class.

2. Using Games

Game is an interesting thing to young learners. In this case, the

writer gave a sheet of paper that must be filled by the students.

There were many pictures of face in this paper. One of the students

asked her/his friend one by one with the same question. When

her/his friend answered “yes, I like it!”, the student drew a smile

face, but when her/his friend answered “no, I don’t like it!” the

student drew a sad face. In this case, the students would be easy to

memorize how to express something without getting bored. For

example:

Complete the following table by asking your friends, and

then write their name in the table. See example!

No Do you like…? .... …. …. ….

1 A plate of spaghetti

2 Fried rice Ο Ο Ο Ο

3 Some doughnuts Ο Ο Ο Ο

4 Pizza Ο Ο Ο Ο

3. Using Song

In the last section, the writer gave a song to relax the students.

There were four groups in the class. The writer asked the students

to read the lyric of the song. Then, the writer asked group 1 to sing

the first line of the song. The writer asked group 2 to repeat the

lyric that was sung by group 2. It was done by group 3 and group

19

a. Discussion: The students discuss the foods with their friend by small

group. In this section the students are expected to practice good

English speaking and know many vocabularies about foods.

b. Using Games: the writer gives some facial image that have to draw by

English and give them opportunity to speak English more in class because

the students had limited chance to speak English at home.
