Abstract

This study investigates the use of the combination of Quartet and Dart games for teaching speaking. The main problem in teaching speaking of English as foreign language is how to stimulate and motivate students to speak. There are some media to teach speaking. This study proposes an alternative way for minimizing some problems that make the students hesitant to speak by using the combination of Quartet and Dart games. Quartet is a card game. There are totally 32 cards divided into 4 theme cards. Every card provides a brief description that will make the students read the description while waiting for the turn. The goal of the game is to collect a set of cards as many as possible. Dart game is an activity that is designed to challenge students to engage with the texts. The students are supposed to speak and to interpret the information carefully based on the Dart game. By using Quartet game, students will be able to speak well. It makes them speak based on the Quartet card. Quartet cards facilitate them with spoken vocabularies, grammar and structure of the text. Therefore, Dart game makes the students ready when they are going to express their ideas based on the instruction of Dart board. The objectives of this research are to find out whether the combination of Quartet and Dart games is effective to teach speaking to Junior High School‟s students and to find out whether the students are able to speak well by using the combination of Quartet and Dart games. The population was the eighth grade students of SMPS Yayasan Johan Sentosa Kabupaten Kampar in the academic year of 2014/2015. The number of population was 312 and sample was 36 students of VIII B for the try-out class and 37 students of VIII A as the experimental class. I used pre-experimental design in this research. When conducting the research, I used oral performance test to collect the data. The study showed that after the students were given treatment by using the combination of Quartet and Dart game, there was an increasing score from the pre- test and the post- test result about 72.86%. The tvalue was 27.69 and t-table was 1.69. Since the t-value is higher than the t-table, it can be concluded that the working hypothesis is accepted. It means that the combination of Quartet and Dart games is effective to improve students‟ speaking skills.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to know how is DRAW strategy applied in teaching reading comprehension of narrative text and in what ways are students‟ achievement improved after being taught by this strategy. The writer collected the data by using classroom action research. The action research was carried out in some steps. Those steps were pre-elimination test, spiraling the cycle of planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The instruments that were used are tests, observation sheets and questionnaires. DRAW strategy is one of strategies that can be applied in teaching reading. D represents draw as in pull questions out of the box. R is for read to find the answer. A stands for attend as in listen to what classmates say as they discuss answers to drawn questions. And W represents write; students write answers to a selected few questions based on their notes from the class discussion. With DRAW, students work in small groups to discuss a text and respond to questions that involve critical thinking. In short, DRAW strategy encourages higher order thinking, motivates students in gaining information, promotes discussion, encourages listening, and promotes participation. The preelimination test in this classroom action research was used to know the students‟ achievement on reading comprehension of narrative text before conducting the research. In the pre-elimination test, the class‟ mean score was 45.17. In the cycle 1 test, the class‟ mean score was 62.17. And in the cycle 2 test, the class‟ mean score was 74.17. It can be concluded that the class‟ mean score from preelimination test to cycle 1 test improved 37.6% and 64.2% from pre-elimination test to cycle 2 test. In short, the result of each cycle prove that students‟ achievement of reading comprehension was getting better after this strategy was conducted in teaching and learning process. It can be concluded that by using DRAW strategy in reading class, students‟ reading comprehension can be improved. This strategy is a good technique to help students in comprehending English reading texts.
