A. Introduction
To communicate to other people we need a language. Every
nation has its own language. Every language has unique system, there
are no two language ever have the same system exactly. One of the
languages is English. As we know, English is as an international
language. Because everything are written in English now and it is used
in many countries for any purposes. It is important and become
necessity to be studied and mastered by people in globalization era
today because of that reason.
Language is system; it means language is formed by different
component in suitable pattern and formula. According to Wardhough
(1986: 3), says, Language is system of arbitrary vocal symbol use for
human communication. Information is gotten not always from printed
material like books, magazines, newspaper, etc. but we can also get

also can take more advantage from the environment and connect the
situation and everything around them as the media to support the
learning process. Especially for speaking, things around of the
environment will help much because they can see directly object.
Concurrent to the growing interest in promoting learner independence
is a trend in learning studies to view language learning as a group
phenomenon rather than an individual process. There are many
research conducted that showed, most students believe that their
learning is highly influenced by opportunities to have variety
experiences at the outside classroom or the opening place.
As stated by Polanyi et. al (1995: 271), Both nationally and
internationally researchers claim that learners, at various levels of
proficiency and at various stages of study, continue to view their
successful and unsuccessful learning outcomes as related to their
experiences outside the classroom.
In the field of English education, much effort has been put into
developing teaching practices that support the interactions of students
in the classroom and encourage learning activities outside the
classroom or the opening place. However, little is known about what
teachers perceive and believe about out of class activity in the process
of teaching and learning. This gap in our knowledge is highly
significant as it is often claimed that the ultimate goal of teaching
English is to increase the learners ability to interact successfully in the
target language in real situations.

and that if one is having fun and there is hilarity and laughter, then
it is not really learning. This is a misconception. It is possible to learn
a language as well as enjoy oneself at the same time.
Regarding to the opening place, it is one way in order to
accelerate students developing in mastering speaking. Through the
different situation of study, hoped that the students would have
interesting and pay attention to what teacher teach. Moreover, by
study at the open place the teaching and learning process can be as
an directly experience for students especially when the material of
study adjusted with the situation of the place. So the student can
see, feel the atmosphere directly and it is will help them much in
memorizing and expressing their spoken ability. The energize place
of study, relieve a lot of tension students and it can be also motivate
them in learning speaking.

prevent students take chance to play because they are at the free
place. Teacher should tell to the students what they can or cannot
do. Teacher should maintain the situation so that the teaching and
learning process still in the path. Because for students, study at the
opening place quite different and strange for them. This is crucial for
the success of the activity, so every effort should be made.
Following things that teacher should prepared and do to teach
at the opening place:
1. The selection of the place and time is very important. Study
at the open place such as at the football field at middle of
the day is a stupidity.
2. The material that compatible with the place or can be
supported with the place.
3. Clear rule for students along the opening place.
4. Clear task for students so that they know what they must to
do and focus.
5. Teacher should be able maintain the situation from the
beginning until the end of program.
6. Teacher should be creative and able to connect and relate
the material with the place.

F. Conclusion

Teaching speaking through opening place gives new situation in
study English for students so they are far from boring, students
more relax and enjoy speaking as a fun activity to do, Students shy

Increase students interest and more active to study speaking
because it was fun being at the free space without the wall
restricted while Increase students motivation because they can
