Abstract

This research was done to investigate whether the lesson plans designed by the teacher matched the principles and methods of the CLT approach, how the teacher implemented the CLT approach for teaching speaking skills and what learning performances resulted from using CLT. The participants were senior high school students from classes X IPA, X MAK, XI IPA, XI MAK, and XII MAK plus the English teacher from Insan Qurani boarding school. The instruments used were observation sheets and documentation consisting of the teacher’s lesson plan and the students’ test results. The results from this study showed that there were several main procedures of the techniques suggested by the experts which were not completely written into the lesson plan. There were also several activities written into the lesson plans that were not performed well in the classroom. Furthermore, from the speaking performances produced by the students many of them did not reach the minimum passing criteria (KKM) of 70, although they had been treated with the CLT approach with role play, jigsaw, group discussions, picture series, and storytelling technique in their speaking classes. This leads to the conclusion that the students’ failure was because the procedures suggested by the experts were not entirely and effectively implemented by the teacher in her teaching.

Abstract

This study aims at examining whether or not the use of information gap technique can improve students’ performance in English speaking ability and helps teachers in teaching speaking. In order to cope the problems faced by the students in learning speaking, the experimental of pre-test and post-test design was undertaken. The instrument used to collect the data in this study was a set of test. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistic formula. The result of the test was analyzed by using speaking criteria suggested by Brown (2001). From the result of the study it reveals that the result of post-test is higher than the result of pre-test after the information gap technique was applied. It shows that the implementation of information gap can give a significant improvement to the students. It explicitly means that information gap can be one of alternative techniques used by teacher in teaching English particularly in teaching speaking in junior high schools.
