INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of the Study
Basically, there are four needed skills to master the English. They are
speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Every single skill contributes to English
proficiency integratively. The focus in this research is speaking achievement as
one of four skills mentioned.
Rakhmat stated one of the pleasure from Allah to his creature is the ability
to speak(2007). Ability to express his/her intention with producing sounds from
his mouth. Dale (2008) revealed that we are judged by our speech. Then, he also
supported this proposition by saying that 75% our social interactions built by
speaking habit.
Speaking is a process of constructing thoughts and ideas into spoken form.
Louma (2004:9) states that speaking is the way to interact and socialize. Then,
Fulcher (2003:23-25) implies that speaking is verbal use of language to
communicate with others. According to Thornbury (2006:1), speaking is so much
part of our daily life that is taken for granted: an average person produces tens of
thousands of words a day. Speaking is to share information or express anything
2
Since English is assumed as a difficult matter by majority of Senior High
School students, thus, teachers have a duty to make them desire optimally. Interest
is a necessary aspect that will attract students’ motivation and meet the learning
objective.
Further, the researcher observed such a phenomenon on students’s in
watching television or any other visualized media . They seem could be identified
well as visual learner. This occurrence, historically, related to the theory of
Indonesians’ visual culture. Hence, Agus (2007), defined this phenomenon as
interrelated aspects with realization of human’s creativity and idea toward
development of sciences and technologies. He furtherly convinced that this visual
habit should be empowered into our benefits, specifically as the medium to
stimulate students learning processes.
Based on the Educational Unit-Educated Curriculum (KTSP), the standard
competence of senior high school on speaking is to express the meaning orally in
both of interpersonal and transactional written text formally as well as informally
in the forms of recount, narrative, and any other genres implied in their daily
context.
The researcher also faced those phenomena during PPLT programme.
Students have less confidence in practicing their speaking. Then, this obstacle also
caused by internal and external factors. As Nascente (2001 :18) stated that foreign
language learners have two problems, both internal and external. In the internal
issue, the students might feel anxiety, and then refuse to use the target language
3
Then, this trouble be enhanced by the lack of teaching strategy used by the
teacher. Teachers are often used a lecturing strategy in delivering the material.
Then, orienting only to the textbooks. This condition, again, had not been
practically effective in the first place.
In order to resolve this problem, knowing a helpful strategy in teaching
speaking is crucially needed. Thus, the researcher efforts on implementing watch
think talk strategy in teaching speaking. This strategy, moreover, empowers
students watching habit and culture into a betterment.
B. The Problem of the Study
In line with the background presented previously, the problem of this
study is formulated as follows : Is there any significant effect of Watch Think
Talk strategy on students’ speaking achievement ?
C. The Scope of the Study
This study is scoped particulary on investigating the second year students
of MAN 1 Medan focusing on the effect of watch think talk strategy in students’
4
D. The Objective of the Study
Relevantly to the research problem, this study is aimed to find out whether
there is any significant effect of implementing Watch-Think-Talk strategy on
students’ achievement in speaking.
E. The Significance of the Study
The findings of this study are expected to be useful both theoretically and
practically :
1. Theoretically, the findings of the study are expected to add more
horizons in the theories of learning.
2.. Practically, the findings of the study are useful and relevant to :
a. English teacher, as the information in teaching English to
enrich their knowledge in speaking achievement by applying
watch think talk strategy.
b. Other researcher, as a basic reference for further research and

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS.
A. Conclusion
Based on the research finding, the researcher concludes that there is a
significant effect of applying Watch Think Talk strategy on students’ speaking
achievement. This can be seen from the calculation of t-test at the level of
significance 0.05 ; t-observed (8.555 ) is higher than t-table (1.994). The
alternative hypothesis, thus, which formulated as “ there is a significant effect of
using Watch Think Talk strategy on students’ speaking achievement” is accepted.
B. Suggestions
In relation to the conclusion, the researcher points out some suggestions as
followings :
a. The English teachers are suggested to apply Watch Think Talk
strategy for enhancing students’ speaking achievement.
b. The students are facilitated to have their optimal practices in
learning by applying Watch Think Talk strategy.
c. Other researchers who intend to use Watch Think Talk Strategy in
