1 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter focuses on the background of study, statement of problem, purpose of study, significance of study, scope and limitation, and the definition of key terms.
1.1 Background of Study
Language is a kind of tool used to communicate by human beings. Nowadays, people are expected to be able to speak English for academic, business, and other purposes. Besides, it has already become the second language to be mastered in some countries. In Indonesia, English is taught in every level of education; started from kindergarten, elementary school, junior and senior high school, until university level. According to Crystal (1977) as quoted in Kurniasari (2009: 1), English is proved by the fact that more than seventy countries use English as a second language, and more than a hundred countries use English as a foreign language. Furthermore, in this globalization era, English is the main language used to communicate with other people from different countries.

Malaysia, and India. Furthermore, he also explained that foreign language may mean the same language as second language with the difference on its position in a country. Second language is used as national language, whereas a foreign language is not. The different position between second language and foreign language can also be identified on the learners’ exposure to English. Learners of English as second language are exposed more to Englisha those of foreign language. This leads to different approach, method, and technique in teaching English.
Indonesia is a country with various races and tribes that speak various languages. Based on the Youth Pledge of 1928, Indonesian uses Indonesian language as the national language. The government of Indonesia has realized the importance of English and has decided that English is a compulsory subject at the secondary level, and extended to the elementary school level as a local content subject. Based on the fact,Indonesian is the national language and government’s decision on English subject in Indonesia, it can be concluded that English is one of foreign language that majority learned and used in Indonesia.
Other of English, foreign languages are taught at school based on the sudents’ need and the demand of globalization era. Some school also included many foreign languages; Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, German, French and others as one of their main or extended subjects. Besides, in Indonesia, many language coursesprepare some classes of learning foreign languages in different level.

is taught based on the curriculum developed by the educational institutions themselves. The success of English learning in formal education can be determined objectively through assessments carried out by the government. This is possible to be done because the basic competence to be achieved has a specific parameter, stated in Regulation of Ministry of National education of Indonesia number 11, year 2005 on Competence Standard and Basic Competence. However, the success of English learning for informal or non-goverment education cannot be assessed objectively because each education institution has their objective.
Islamic Boarding School as one of informal education institutions widely found in Indonesia is one example of education institutions that develop and apply their independent curriculum, including in English and Arabic as their second language. One of the descriptions of how those languagesare taught in Islamic students’ language ability. The researcher tries to analyze teaching learning activities in the classroom through the novel as a media.

Another specific previous research talked about the teaching techniques that were used by the teacher found in the novel (Susifirda, 2013). This previous research entitled an analysis of Gruwell’s teaching technique in Erin Gruwell’s novel, “The Freedom Writer Diary”, she said that Gruwell’s applied game, field trip and role play techniques during the teaching activity in the classroom. She used these techniqes based on the situation and condition. She taught the class namely “unteachable, at risk” that known as very hard, messy, low motivation students’. Gruwell’s applied these teaching techniques to solve many problems during teaching learning process.
In classroom practice, technique has an important role in teaching learning process, because this classroom practice performs the interaction between teachers and students. In this novel, one of the characterUstad Salman has a dominant role in teaching his students. Because of that reason, the researcher wants to dig more about specific topic, teaching speaking technique used by Ustad Salman in “Madani” boarding school through this novel.

As the author studied in the boarding school, Fuadi describes the background of his boarding school. Boarding school is a type of education that exists in many countries, also in Indonesia. Here, beside given some subjects and skills, the students are also taught about foreign languages. For example, in Islamic Boarding School the students were taught Arabic and English for their daily conversation. The important thing is that boarding school is conducive for the students to improve and practice speaking skill.
Speaking is one of important skills needed to be practiced a lot. According to Cahyono and Mukminatien (2011:42), learning a language does not mean that the students only memorize a number of words, sentence-patterns, and know the meaning of the words. According to the explanation above, the teacher has to provide many techniques to support the practice of students’ speaking skill.
Thus, from the previous explanation, the researcherwant to analize and identify the teaching speaking techniques used by Ustad Salman in “Madani”boarding school in A.Fuadi’s novel, “The Land of Five Towers”.
