Abstract

This study evaluates the efficacy of Task-Based Learning (TBL) in enhancing students’ English speaking proficiency, particularly in delivering procedure texts, and identifies the most pronounced pronunciation improvement. Conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Cikakak, ninth-grade students were randomly assigned to an experimental class using TBL or a control class receiving conventional instruction. The speaking assessment evaluated fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, and idea organization. This study addresses the research gap by analyzing pronunciation aspects, unlike previous studies that focused solely on TBL for teaching procedure texts at the junior high school level. The experimental class showed a substantial improvement, with a mean score surge from 57.80 to 80.50, while the control class experienced only a modest improvement from 55.67 to 62.33. The N-Gain score of 51.94 for the experimental group was effective, while the control group’s gain of 14.06 was ineffective. Statistical tests confirmed a significant disparity between the groups. Students also showed a favorable response to the TBL method, supporting the assertion that TBL effectively enhances speaking skills and engages students in learning.

And how is students’ vocabulary mastery into reading comprehension of narrative text at eighth grade in SMPN 2 Simpenan? This type of research is correlation research with quantitative methods. The sample in this research was class VIII (a) with 30 students. In analyzing the data, researchers used Pearson Correlation to determine the relationship between students’ vocabulary mastery and students’ reading comprehension of narrative text. The research findings showed that the sig value (2-tailed) of 0,000 < 0.05, then between students' vocabulary mastery and students' reading comprehension of narrative text are correlated and the Pearson Correlation value of the two variables is 0.792. In conclusion, r count of 0.792 > 0.05 is obtained, which means H(a) is accepted and H(o) is rejected. So the hypothesis states that there is a correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and their reading comprehension of narrative text at eighth grade in SMPN 2 Simpenan. Here are some suggestions, English teachers should support students with various methods or strategies that can increase students' vocabulary mastery to improve their reading comprehension, and students should practice a lot to master vocabulary, because vocabulary is one of the very important components in the teaching and learning process.
