INTRODUCTION
Research Background
Since English is as international language which has already become one
of the compulsory subjects both in junior and senior high school. In many
countries, including Indonesia, the importance of English has gained a lot of
attention from many people throughout the world.
The factors above entail us to master English especially in speaking skill in
order to make a good communication fluently with people all over the world.
Unfortunately, there are some factors which make speaking ability become
difficult to be increased, such as lack of practicing to speak up in English with
their friends formally or informally, feeling afraid of making mistakes, being
laughed at by others, feeling unconfident or lack of their own interpersonal
communication.
One of the language skills that have to be mastered by students in
learning a foreign language is speaking. Speaking is one of the types of
composing in language, the type that is swift, complicated, frequent and
primary, because the language itself is a symbolic to use by communicators to
construct and convey information.
Many students told the students problem in speaking such as never
do communicative, passive, unable to give answer, etc. Therefore, teachers
should help the students overcome this problem by motivating them to
speak. For this reason, teacher should use effective teaching methods that
encourage students to take part actively in the class. The teaching learning
process has to involve not only teacher and students, but also students and
students.

process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving, and
processing information. According to Bailey, speaking is the productive oral
skills which consist of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey
meaning.

is swift, complicated, frequent and primary, because the language itself is a

themselves and learn how to use the language well.

pronunciation, grammar, confidence and interpersonal communication
skills.
