CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
In
learning English, there are four skills we must study. They are listening, speaking,
reading, and writing. The four skills mentioned are diveded into receptive and
productive skills. Speaking and writing are productive skills, while listening
and reading are receptive skills. Beside the four language skills above,
reading is of great importance to student show mother tongue is not English,
because they almost do not have oppurtunity to hear or to speak that language.
Comprehending English is a difficult thing for students if they are do not have
basic knowledge, especially in comprehending reading text.
Listening is one of
the languages in the world that has an important role for communication. It has
been used as an International Language. So it is important for us to learn it and Speaking is like the
first assessment for each learner who is studying English and each learner has
to speak. This statement means an obligation, duty, task, fact, implementation,
process, and it can be learning, although we still find some students are
speaking little or even passive in the classroom, and it can be caused of many
things include the students, the class situation, environment, teaching method,
technique, approach or even from the teachers who cannot deliver their material
successfully.
Listening
and speaking as a important skill can combine in teaching process through
Integrated skill. The integration of skills can be defined as the combination
of two or more skills within a communicative task there are listening as a
receptive skill and speaking as productive skill Read C (1985: 72-74).
From
the problems above the researcher will apply one of teaching strategy. This is
an interesting strategy and it can increase the student’s listening ans
speaking ability namely
Integrated skill.
Relating to the case
above , the writer conducting an action research
entitle: ”The Use of Integrated Skill to
Improve the Students’ speaking and listening skill”
B.
Problem Statements
Related to the
background above, the writer formulates
research questions as follows:
1. How is
the improvement of the students’ listening skill through Integrated
skill?
2. How is
the improvement of the students’ speaking skill through Integrated
skill?
C.
Objective
of
the
Study
Based on the problem formulations above, the objectives of this
research are:
1.
To find out how the
improvement of the students listening skill through Integrated
skill.
2.
To find out how the improvement of the students speaking
skill through Integrated skill.
D. Significance of the Study
This
research gives positive result, it is expected that the result is able to give
some benefits for students, teachers, and other researchers.
1.
For the students, it is expected that
this technique will help them improve their listening and speaking skill
2.
For the teachers, it is expected that the
result of this research will give them a reference in their teaching so they
can apply integrated skill.
3.
For other researcher, it is expected

resources for further research.
E. Scope of the Study
