1 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Chapter I of this research present such topics as: background of study,

statement of the problems, purposes of the study, and significances of the

study, scope and limitation and also definition of key terms. Each section is

presented as follows:

1.1Background of the study

Nowadays, English has been known as an international language around

the world. Among all language skills, speaking is an important skill used in

daily communication in the society, the reason is that the purpose of learning a

foreign language such as English language is mostly used for communication.

The process of speaking fluently and effectively is big challenge for all

language learners. According to Pinter (2006:55), the ability of speaking

fluently in a foreign language needs a lot of practice. He stated that speaking

practice is started by practicing and drilling a set phrases and repeating

models. In certain situation, fluent speaker also requires to learn how to

manage conversation, speak and think at the same time.

Teaching English to young learners is challenging than others. At least,

we should be aware of children’s basic physical and psychological needs.

According to Klancar (2006), when teaching young learners we constantly

have to keep in mind the fact that what we have in front of us is a mixed class

with varied abilities, expectations, motivation level, knowledge, and different

learning styles. Thus, we need to vary our approaches and provide as much

(13)

2 on to, expand and grow. Developing speaking skills definitely deserves a

closer look and the article provides a few guidelines to keep all the students

involved and interested.

Teaching speaking to children also has such important ways to be

understood. They may not be able to catch or aware what other speakers know

before, because of their mother tongue or their second language. Moreover,

Pinter (2006) says that it is important for teachers to familiarize themselves

with what their children can do in their first language. At the beginning stages

with children, it is a good idea to focus on simple but purposeful and

meaningful pattern drilling and personalized dialogue building in order to

prepare them to be able to talk about themselves and their world. Then, they

begin to interact with their friends in class and other speakers of the language.

Kayi, 2006, found that there are many activities that can be used to

promote speaking. Those activities are discussion, role play, simulations,

information gap, brainstorming, storytelling, interviews, completing story,

reporting, playing cards, picture narrating, picture describing, and find the

difference.

Irawan (2008) in his research on the technique in teaching speaking in

English extracurricular program at SMUN II BATU, found that the techniques

used by the teacher in teaching speaking were focus group discussion,

dialogue, role play, games, simulations, watching movie, storytelling and

singing a song.

Meanwhile, Prasetyowati (2008) who conducted the research on the

(14)

3 course, Pare Kediri, found that the techniques were speeches, role play, small

group and audio taped.

Based on the statements and previous researchers above, teachers should

have different techniques in teaching English, especially for speaking skill. In

this case, the researcher tries to investigate the technique in teaching speaking

in bilingual class that has not been conducted by the previous researchers,

because they only investigated the regular class. Brown (2000) stated that

technique is any of a wide variety of exercises, activities, or devices used in

the language classroom for realizing lesson objectives. It means that the

techniques implemented can help the teachers’ role in the classroom.

Hopefully, those kinds of technique are helpful for students to understand and

comprehend the topic learned.

Since 2009, the government has designed a newest class program in

school that is called bilingual class. This class program is carried out with

different rules in the process of teaching and learning. Bilingual class is

different from regular class because it is designed by using both English and

Indonesian language to communicate during the classroom activities and also

for the instruction in teaching and learning process (Permendiknas. No: 78,

2009).

The reason underlined in this study is that bilingual class basically is

recent educational program in Indonesia and the process of its quality is being

developed in every school, especially for young learners. As stated previously,

this class program uses both English and Indonesian language to communicate

(15)

4 curriculum unit level (KTSP) accompanied by international curriculum, the

learning of science, mathematics and core vocational use English language,

while learning other subjects, except foreign language lessons must use

Indonesian (Permendiknas. No: 78, 2009).

Furthermore, the researcher is interested in analyzing speaking teaching

technique to English for young learners in bilingual class since the topic has

not been conducted by other researchers, also designing bilingual class

program need a good preparation and qualification for both teacher and

school.

1.4Significance of the Study

information to English teachers about the techniques of teaching speaking to

young learners, especially in bilingual class. Furthermore, these findings will

give some information to the principal of the school about the techniques

applied by English teacher in bilingual class. It can also be the evaluation

whether the technique used has already reached the goals of the study. Thus,

the teachers can improve their quality in teaching speaking to young learners

in bilingual class. The last, the study can be useful for the candidates of

English teachers to prepare their ability and quality in order to have a good

preparation about the techniques in teaching speaking before they teach in

school.
