CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A.
Background
English as a foreign language has four skills that we must be
learnt. Those are Speaking, Listening, Writing, and Reading. These four basic
skills of language can not be separated. Even though, it seems separated but
they are truly related each other. Speaking is one of the four skills that very
important to be taught to the students because it will help them to use their
English in communication and interaction with other people. There are two main
components in speaking namely speaker and listener. The function of speaker
gives information and the listener receive the information from the speaker.
The speaker and listener have to cooperate each other to avoid
miss communication that happened to them.
According to Aguilera
(2012: 1) Speaking is a
productive skill, like
writing. It involves using speech to express other meanings to other
people. Interaction is two-way
communication that involves using language and body language to keep our
listener involved in what we are saying and to check that they understand our
meaning. Examples of these interactive strategies are: making eye contact,
using facial expressions, asking check expressions, clarifying your meaning,
confirming understanding
The English teacher has to be creative to design many
communicative activities in the classroom in teaching speaking. This case can
motivate student to the language actively and productively. The teachers are
expected to make the effective learning and use appropriate technique that can
urge students to speak English fluently by giving adequate opportunities.
There are many reasons that cause the students failed to
speak well because their teacher failed to make interesting lesson, failed to
apply a good methodology of teaching and there is still a lack in improving
speaking technique. One of technique can be used to stimulate the students in
learning speaking is self talk strategy
(STS). Ave (2000: 44) The strategy self-talk
means making positive statements like “I can do this” to help oneself get
through challenging tasks. Reassuring
yourself while doing a difficult task may help you do more than you thought you
could because even if you cannot do the task perfectly you can probably do some
of it.
Therefore, in this brief description
the writer will conducts a research with the title as follows: “Utilization
of Self Talk Strategy (STS) to Improve Speaking Skill at the First Grade of SMA ”
B. Problem
Statement
1. How is the achievement of students’ speaking skill after applying the Self Talk Strategy (STS) at the first grade of SMA?
2. Are there any significant result on the students’ speaking achievement taught before and after being Self Talk Strategy (STS) at the first grade of SMA ?
1. To find out achievement of the students’ speaking skill after applying the Self Talk Strategy (STS) at the first grade of SMA
2. To find out the result on the students’ speaking achievement taught before and after being Self Talk Strategy (STS) at the first grade of SMA.
D. Significance
of the Research
The
significance of this study can contribute some benefits to students and
teachers. They are:
1.
For the
teacher, to improve students’
skill in speaking is very significant. In
this situation can help the teacher to measure and find out the weakness
of the student easily.
2.
For
the students, Self Talk Strategy (STS) will give a way to the student to find the topic that
they will study and the limitation of the topic that they will talk. In
addition it can help the students to focus on one problem and will try to
discuss it specifically in order to improve their knowledge
and their vocabulary.
3. For the other researcher, the result of this study is expected to give an alternative source and references to other researchers in their attempts to study Self Talk Strategy (STS) especially to improve speaking skill
E.
Scope of the Research
The
study is to find out significant different scores of the students in speaking
skill achievement before and after using by Self Talk Strategy (STS) at the
first grade of SMA
In
other words, the study is direct to know whether or not a Self Talk Strategy
(STS) is effective in using to improve students’ achievement in speaking skill.
The study is conducts at first grade of SMA.
