A. Background
Language is a means
of communication both spoken and written form. As a means of communication, it helps people share
their ideas, knowledge, feeling and emotion. English is one
of the subject matters learned by students that are given in some educational
levels, such as; elementary, intermediate and upper intermediate level. It
covers four language skills that must be mastered if someone wants to be
successful in English.
There are four skills language in Vocational High School (SMK)
namely reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Especially speaking skill, many students considered that learning
speaking as a difficult subject. This difficulty is caused by psychology factor
of the students and lack of teachers’ creativity in teaching speaking English subject in Vocation High School
(SMK). The students at the second Year students at SMK Sari Buana of Makassar
still cannot communicate by using English.
Based on information from the English teacher
at SMK Sari Buana Makassar at the second grade students especially at the class
XII that
the students’ achievement in speaking was still low where the men score of the
students’ speaking achievement still got score 5.47 or 54.70%, while the
standard speaking in curriculum is 6.5. Because the students still lack in use
vocabulary, correct grammatical, correct pronunciation and acceptable
interaction. In this study, the researcher wants to solve this problem until
the students have a good score. Therefore, through this mechanism the
researcher would improve the students’ speaking achievement until achieve score
7.0 or 70% as target of in speaking.
From this reality, the teachers must creative
to increase the students’ achievement to make success in learning. In order to
enable students to express their idea in speaking, teacher must be creating
varieties method in teaching. Many technique and methods had been conduct by
the teacher; one of the alternatives in teaching speaking is using Tongue
Twister.
Using Tongue Twister method will be helpful the students to speak up,
help develop a skill which experts call phonemic awareness or the ability to
identify and manipulate sounds (called phonemes) in words that are spoken. For
someone who speaks to an audience, working with tongue twisters to build on
his/her phonemic awareness helps to develop better articulation and
pronunciation of words.
In this case, the teacher introduces a
situation which contextualizes the language to be thought then presented, next
the students practice the new language in a control way and then students are
encouraged to use the new language in a free way either for their own purpose
and meanings or ??????????????????????????????????????\
