Abstract

In learning English, we must apply appropriate technique to mastery it. One of the technique used is memorizing vocabulary. The more vocabulary we memorize, the easier it will be for us to use the language in communicating. But not only memorization technique can improve our language learning but there are still many methods that we can use depending on how the learning or learning model is suitable for those learners. But in fact, based on the observations of researchers at SMP Negeri 2 Parepare, researchers found several problems in students' vocabulary mastery. One of the problems is the students still do not know various kinds of vocabulary such as adjectives, nouns, verbs and adverb, and how to arrange them in a sentence. In this study, the researchers applied a mixed method with a one group class pretest and posttest design. The researchers took one class as a sample where the number of students was thirty students.

In learning, there are three interrelated dimensions to support the learning, namely the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions. From these learning dimensions, there are learning styles that are included in the cognitive dimension and motivation are included in the affective dimension of learning.

The respondents in this study consisted of three third-semester students and three fifth-semester students from the English education department UMPAR. In addition, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with students to understand deeper perceptions. The results of the interviews show that there are various student motivations in improving their speaking skills, namely: to train self-confidence, a sense of competition, to develop more, to gain appreciation, presence of a role model, and the support of other people. Apart from motivation, researchers found a learning style that plays a very important role in student learning, namely the auditory learning style with the highest score in all the VARK learning style test results for respondents. The researcher found that there were four classifications of student learning patterns in improving speaking skills, namely: Experience of applying learning media, social interaction, word notice, monologue habits. The results of the research about the influence of motivation and learning styles on learning patterns toward students’ speaking improvement show that there is a positive influence of motivation and learning styles on student learning patterns in improving speaking skills
