Abstract

Speaking is one of the important skills that must be mastered by students in order to
communicate in English fluently. Through speaking the students can express their idea and
interact with each other in conversation. Most students have a problem related to speaking skills.
They complained that they have nothing to say, they have not motivated to express themselves
because feeling guilty to speak. With the techniques applied precisely, they can go around the
class, view the ideas of each group, create ideas, and present in front of the class. Then, they can
interact and communicate with their friends. It makes students more confident in making
conversation.
The researcher formulate the research problem by the question, is there any significant
difference between students who are taught by using small group discussion and those who are
taught by using conventional strategy on speaking skill at ninth grade students’ of SMPN 2
Sudimoro Pacitan?. Then, the researcher intended the research objective to obtain empirical data
about the significant differences between students who are taught by using small group
discussion and those who are taught by using conventional strategy on speaking skill at ninth
grade students’ of SMPN 2 Sudimoro Pacitan.
The researcher applied a quantitative approach and uses a quasi-experimental study. In this
research, the researcher used two classes that are taught by using different strategies. While the
experimental class was taught by using the Small Group Discussion technique and the control
class was taught by using lecturing, question and answer strategy. The population was ninthgraders students of SMPN 2 Sudimoro Pacitan which consists of 68 students. The sample is 45
students (22 experimental classes, 23 control classes). The data were gathered through tests by
the following procedure: giving a pre-test, applying the treatment; and giving a post-test. Then,
the result of the pre-test and post-test were analyzed by using T-test. While, before using the Ttest, the data analyzed by using the normality and homogeneity test.
The result of the research concluded that there is a significant difference between students
who are taught by using small group discussion and those who are not on speaking skill. This is
proved by the data results showing that the average pre-test of an experimental class was 47,8
and the average post-test is 71,27. The value of t-test = 5,601 was consulted with 5% significant
level with df 43, that is 2,016 (t-test > t table). So, Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. So, it
becomes an important thing for the teachers to increase and develop their ability in teaching. The
teacher should be able to use the appropriate technique in learning and teaching English,
especially in speaking to make the students are more motivated in learning speaking.
