CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Many students in Indonesia do not like English. They get difficulties,
boredom and confusing in learning it, because it is not their mother tongue.
English teacher should be able to motivate the learners in learning this foreign
language. Many problems and activities are faced by the students and also the
teachers. But, mostly the success of the students in learning the English should be
determined by themselves. Beside the students study the English at the school,
they should hard work at home, that is by repeating again what they get at the
school from the teacher to recognize or memorize the materials.
Speaking is a complex aspect in language learning. By speaking, we can
convey information and ideas, and maintains social relationship by
communicating with others. In an addition a large percentage of the world’s
language learners study English in order to be able communicate fluently. Many
language learners regard speaking as the most important skill they can acquire and
asses their progress in terms of their accomplishments in spoken communication.
In oher side of first year student MAN 2 Model Medan, speaking is also one of
the difficult part when they learn this foreign language. It shows that there were
still limited interaction and life in speaking class. Almost all of students were
unwilling to express their feeling or opinion using their English language. The
2
almost all of students were lack of and passive in their speaking class where there
was a little interaction each of student to another.
In other instance, the students often get failure in their learning because of
many factors, such as feeling strange to the materials, confuseing and
un-interesting situation in teaching learning process in the classroom. So the teacher’s duty is how to develop the student’s potential in studying English especially in
speaking. Speaking is one of the components of language that has function to
express feeling, opinion, ideas, and emotions. Motivation is important thing that
influence in teaching learning process. By motivation, the students expected able
to learning the material given by teacher. Harmer (2003:3) states motivation
means a kind of drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course action. It
should be done by every English teacher in order that the students are interested in
learning this language. English teacher must be able to manage the teaching by
using certain method in the teaching-learning process, so that the students will
like it without boring and despair.
In learning English there are four skills which are necessary to be mastered
by the learners. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. Referring to the
title, the writer limits the explanation to the speaking only. Speaking skill is very
important skill that must be mastered by every language learners, because one is
called mastering a language when he/she is able to demonstrate the speaking skill.
.Teacher’s duty is not only to explain the materials, or select suitable materials,
3
to the students whenever they need it. In order to improve students’
motivation in speaking ability, the teachers choose suitable method and concern
with student motivation in speaking.
Community Language Learning Method which is a method of teaching a
foreign language developed by Curran and in it takes principal from general
Counselling Learning, which refers to the relationship between a counsellor (the
teacher) and the clients (the learners). The basic theoretical premise is that the
human individual needs to be understood and aided in community with others
staving to attain the same goals. This is a very special kind of community-
involvement result in which the language learners and their language teacher build
an intense atmosphere of warmth. The language learns never feel isolated and
alone because everybody belongs to the group and everybody sits in a
“community” and sense positive regard of everyone else.
The basic principle of the methodology is to establish interpersonal
relationships between the teacher and learners to facilitate learning. Community
Language Learning was designed to ease the anxiety of Foreign Language
Learners in educational contexts and promote group dynamics. In CLL, the aim is
to involve the learner's whole personality. The teacher understands the fears of the
learner and vulnerabilities as they struggle to master another language. By being
sensitive to the learner’s fear, the teacher can turn the negative energy of those
fears into positive energy and enthusiasm for learning. This methodology is not
based on the usual methods by which languages are taught rather the approach is
4
threat as well as the personal and language problems a person encounters in the
learning of foreign languages. Consequently, the learner is not thought of as a
student but as a client. The language-counseling relationship begins with the
client's linguistic confusion and conflict. Then slowly the teacher-counselor
strives to enable him to arrive at his own increasingly independent language
adequacy.
In this part, the writer states the relevant research which is possible to add
the readers view on the effect of using Community Language Learning Method
(CLL) towards speaking ability.
From the explanations above, we can assumed that Community Language
Learning Method can be an appropriate method in improving motivation in
speaking, because CLL class begin with a warm atmosphere between a language
teacher and language learners, they support each other and the teacher’s function
is not only as the language teacher but also as a counseler who is always ready
whenever the students need her/ her help. In this CLLM, the teacher is always
creative in triggering students’ eagerness in teaching learning process by
presenting various activities, such as; the teacher gives the students chance , in
refference to the background above, the researcher was interested in knowing
wheter community language leraning can be alternative solution to motivate the
students in speaking class or not. The researcher was going to find reality about
effects of teaching resullts using community language learning methode
