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
