ABSTRACT Title:

“The Effectiveness of the Use of Direct Method in Improving Students’ Speaking Skill”

(A Quasi-experimental Research on the Tenth Grade of Vocational High Students)

This study entitled “The Effectiveness of the Use of Direct Mehod in Improving Students’ Speaking Skill” is aimed to examine the effectiveness of the use of direct method which is applied on tenth grade of vocational high school in Bandung especially in introducing. The effectiveness of the direct method is to measure whether there is a significant difference between two groups: experimental group (given the treatment of direct method) and control group (not given the treatment of direct method) and questionnaire is conducted to find out students’ responses toward the use of direct method. This quantitative research is conducted in two classes of tenth grader (X Ak and X TSM). The data were collected by conducting a role play as speaking test (pre-test and post-test) which aims to measure the effectiveness of the use of direct method and questionnaire as instrument to find out students’ responses toward the use of direct method. The findings show that the use of direct method is effective in improving students’ speaking skill. It can be seen from the significant value that does not exceed the level of significance (0.000<0.005) and there is significant difference between post-test means for experimental group (65.3) and control group (54.3). The computation of effect size shows “large” effect (0.81) for the use of direct method in one of vocational high school in Bandung. In addition, the result of

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter contains the research foundation. It includes background of the study, research questions of the study, the scope of the study, aims of the study, significance of the study, research methodology, and organization of the paper. The keys of this research are provided in this chapter.

1.1Background of the Study

English is the most important language in the world. It has been known as the international language. In the process of formal teaching of four basic language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) in school, speaking is considered as the most important skill to master. As what Pinter (2006) states that speaking fluently and accurately is the hardest thing to do by the students because they should think and speak at the same time. This skill is important as a sender of message to other people orally. Conversation which occurs among two people (the speaker and interlocutor) will occur if they have the capability in speaking skill.

For some students, they have difficulties in speaking because they do not know what to say. There are many students who think that speaking is the most difficult skill to master. According to Brown (2001), there are 8 things which make speaking difficult such as clustering, redundancy, reduced forms, performance variables, colloquial variables, rate of delivery, stress, rhythm, intonation, and interaction. He also said that there are six of oral productions in which students are expected to carry out in the classroom, such as imitative, intensive, responsive, transactional, interpersonal, and extensive.

(14)

teaching speaking are needed. The teacher needs more methods and media in explaining the meaning to students in order to improve students‟ speaking skills and also to encourage students to speak.

Brown (2001) states that the essence of direct method is meaning. According to Richard and Rodgers (1986), Direct Method was conducted exclusively in classroom instruction using the target language. Only everyday vocabulary which is used in conducting direct method. Direct method happens when grammar was taught inductively, pronunciation was corrected, grammar were emphasize, and oral vocabulary skills were built up. The Direct Method class focuses on meaning, not form or structure of the language.

Not only those techniques, but also according to Lake (2013), there are five parts of the direct method such as Show (for example: the using of gesture), Say (teacher says it correctly), Try (students try to repeat the teacher), Mold (correcting the students), and Repeat (students‟ repetition).

Based on Zainuddin (2011), the teachers employ the objects, visual, and realia to make comprehensible and the instructions should be in the specific topic. So, the teacher should „bring‟ the realia to the class such as flash card of pictures, gestures to explain verbs.

According to Nunan ( as cited in Brown, 2001), direct method can be called as the natural approach in which this method focuses on meaning not form and this method is designed to give beginners and intermediate learners basic communicative skills.

(15)

Based on the history, the direct method came up as a response to Grammar Translation Method (GTM) which teaches grammar and vocabulary from the native language of students‟ native language. The direct method differs from grammar translation method. According to Purwarno (2006), direct method avoids the use of mother tounge while GTM maintains the use of mother tongue and direct method teaches the language by „use‟ and not by „rule‟ while GTM teaches by „rule‟ and or by „use‟.

According to Lubis (1988), directing conversation between students and the teacher will help the students move from pseudo-communication. But, before the teacher conducts the conversation, the teacher should make sure that the students are familiar with some grammar patterns and vocabulary words.

Some teachers do not use English in a classroom. It can be the reason why students are not able to speak even though they are good in other skills. Some teachers say that they are too afraid if students do not understand what the teacher says considering the students are low achiever students.

Considering the explanation above, the researcher is interested in conducting a research dealing with the use of the Direct Method in impoving students‟ speaking ability. The use of The Direct Method is expected to help students acquire the language easily. It is hoped that this study can be one of references for an English teacher to teach English using The Direct Method.

1.2The Aim of the Research

This research is aimed to find out these matters:

a. A significant difference in term of speaking scores between experimental group in which the treatment is given (direct method) and the control group in which the treatment is not given in delivering materials.

(16)

1.3Scope of Study

This study focuses on the effectiveness of the usage of direct method in English students. Beside the effectiveness of the usage, this research focuses on the development of students‟ progress

This research takes place in a vocational high school in Bandung. The participants who are involved in this study are two classes of tenth in which the experimental group consists of 30 students and the control group consists of 30 students.

1.4Research Questions

This study is conducted to figure out these following questions:

a. Is there a significant difference in term of speaking scores between experimental group in which the treatment (direct method) is given and the control group in which the treatment is not given in delivering the materials?

b. What are students‟ responses toward the application of direct method in their classroom?

1.5Hypothesis

Sugiyono (2012) states that there are two hypotheses in a research such as research hypothesis and statistic hyothesis. This research started from null hypothesis in which there is no different result in the mean of speaking scores in the experimental group (a group which receives the treatment of direct method) and control group (a group which does not receive the treatment at all). It can be symbolized as follow:

(17)

Or

Hₒ :

1.6Research Method

There are two classes which are involved in which they are divided into experimental group and control group. Experimental group is treated and control group is not given any treatment (in this case is direct method). There are some instruments that are used to collect the data related to the research: pre-test and post-test of speaking skill. Pre-test of speaking skill is given to measure the students‟ current quality and the percentage of questionnaire is spreaded in order to make it more reliable. The data are analyzed quantitatively by using dependent T-test and percentage of questionnaire.

1.7Significance of study

This study is expected to give contribution to teachers, students, and further researchers. For the teachers, this hopefully can make them aware of the importance of using English in the classroom. Whereas, for the students, the technique and the method used hopefully can make them feel confidence speaking in English. For the other researchers, this study is expected to be used as an additional source especially for those who conduct a research on increasing low achiever students‟ speaking ability.

1.8Clarification of Terms

(18)

a. Harvey (as cited in Kusuma, 2004), effectiveness is “an output of specific

review or analyses that determines the accomplishment of specific educational objective, or the degree to which higher education is expected to accomplish specific reqirements”.

b. According to Brown (2001), direct method is a method of second language learning like first language learning—lots of oral interaction, spontaneous use of the language, no translation and no analysis of grammatical rules.

1.9Organization of the Paper

(19)

This chapter describes the result of analysis. The research question meets the answers in this chapter. To make it clearer for the readers, the researcher conveys the discussion of the findings.

Chapter V – Conclusion and Suggestion

(20)

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses the research methodology of the research. This chapter consists of statement of the research problem, the explanation of the research design, population and sample, data collection, instrument, time allocation, procedure of research, procedure of data analysis.

3.1 Statement of the Research Problem

This study is conducted to figure out these following questions:

a. Is there a significant difference in term of speaking scores between experimental group which the treatment (direct method) is given and the control group in which the treatment is not given in delivering the materials?

b. What are students’ responses toward the application of direct method in their classroom?

3.2 Research Design

(21)

is quasi-experimental design which uses experimental and control groups. Experimental group receives a treatment, while control group does not receive any treatment (Fraenkel, 2011).

According to Hatch and Farhady (1982), nonequivalent control group design means that there are two groups in the study; experimental group and control group, in which both of the groups are the same level of knowledge but used different treatment or maybe there will be no treatment used. Furthermore, Introduction was used as the material in teaching learning process. Each group was taught how to introduce family and someone else. The experimental group is given some treatments (direct method) to find out the answers of research questions, while the control group did not get any treatment (direct method). The control group may use translation and grammar was taught directly while the experimental group did not.

In this research, both of the groups were given pre-test which was conducted in the beginning of the study. The pre-test was conducted in order to diagnose students’ current ability in introducing someone else before the treatment applied. Then, post-test was given in the end of the study in order to find out the effectiveness of the treatment. The effectiveness is measured by the significance different of their speaking scores. The result of pre-test and post-test was used to investigate whether or not there was any difference between the experimental group and control groups. The quasi experimental design which is used could be represented in this following chart:

Table 3.1

X1A : Experimental group students’ score on oral post-test X1B : Control group students’ score on oral post-test

Based on the design above, the treatments were only given to the experimental group. Then, questionnaires were distributed to the experimental group to find out students’ perception toward the treatment (direct method).

This study started with the null hypothesis (H0) that the experimental and

control groups were similar as follows:

H0:

µ

experimental =

control

or

Hₒ : = 0 Or Hₒ :

3.3. Variables

According to Hatch and Farhady (1982), variable is “an attribute of a person or an object which varied from person to person or from object to object”.

(23)

variable which influences the results of the dependent variable (Sugiyono, 2008). It means that the use of direct method was the independent variable and became the major variable to be investigated, while the dependent variable was the students’ speaking ability.

3.4. Population and Sample

According to Fraenkel (2011), a sample is the group which is involved. While population is the larger group or it can be said as the whole member of the group. The population in this study is the students of private vocational high school di Bandung and two classes have been chosen as a sample. The classes are divided into experimental and control group. Experimental group consists of 30 students, while control group consists of 30 students. The total member of sample is 60 students.

3.5. Research Instruments

According to Martin (2008), “data refers to the kind of information researchers obtain on the subjects of their research”. In collecting the data, there

were two kinds of instruments were used: a speaking test and questionnaires. Role-play of introducing family and someone else was used as the form of a pre-test and a post-pre-test. The pre-pre-test and post-pre-test were administered to both of the groups. Furthermore, the questionnaire was used to know students’ perspective toward the treatment (direct method) given. Martin (2008) also adds that the questionnaire helps the researcher to get the information from a large amount of subject research in the same time.

(24)

for students in the control and experimental groups by asking them to do the role play of introducing family and someone else after the treatment was conducted to experimental group. The treatment which was given to experimental group is no translating the words or dialogue and no grammar taught and the control group was taught by using translation and grammar taught directly. The result of pre-test and post-test applied in Appendix A.

In addition, questionnaire is a form of data collection in order to survey a research based on the participants’ view. According to Ruddell (2005), the aim of questionnaire is to give an overview of students’ point of view about the material. The questionnaire in this study involves 10 questions and it can be seen in Appendix C.

The lesson plan was designed based on the curriculum 2013 and the syllabus of the school. The teaching material was appropriate material for students in the tenth grade of private vocational high school in Bandung.

3.6 Data collection

The data are collected from the sample through questionnaire, pre-test, and post-test. The questionnaire is distributed in order to find out the challenge that students encounter while speaking in English. The pre-test and post-test is used to find out the effectiveness of Direct Method in improving low achiever students’ speaking skill.

3.6.1 Time allocation

(25)

treatments were applied in second to fifth meeting. Then, post-test was conducted in both of the experimental and control groups in the last meeting.

3.6.2 Procedure of the research

Procedure of this research consisted of some steps. First, pilot test was required to analyze the validity, reliability and practicality of the test. The result was determined whether or not the test could be used in the study. Furthermore, pre-test, post-test and questionnaire were conducted to answer research questions. In addition, some treatments were done to the experimental group after doing pre-test.

3.6.2.1 Administering Pre-test

In the pre-test, students are asked to do the role play. According to Hughes (2007), one of appropriate techniques in assessing students’ oral ability is role play in which the students are asked to assume a role in a particular situations. In this pre-test, the students are asked to introducing yourself and their friends.

3.6.2.2 Conducting the Treatments

(26)

3.6.2.3 Administering Post-test

Post-test is carried out to assess the effect of the treatment (direct method) to the students’ speaking skills. The oral test ability which was used was role play and the particular situation in the role play was introducing my family and someone else.

A post-test was also administered to both of the groups after the treatments given. The purpose of the test was to find out whether there are any significant differences between the experimental group and control group score. The post-test was the same as the pre-test by asking students to do the role-play. The scores of post-test were used to measure whether the implementation of direct method influences the experimental group or not.

3.6.2.4 Questionnaire

(27)

1. Students’ responses toward the use of direct method in classroom.

2. Students’ responses toward direct method can give motivation in speaking.

3. Students’ responses toward direct method as a facility.

3.7 Data Analysis

The data analysis is conducted after collecting pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the use of direct method in improving low achiever students’ speaking skill, Microsoft Excel 2010 and SPSS 16 are used in this study.

3.7.1 Scoring Technique

(28)

(29)

3.7.2 Data Analysis on Pre-test

(30)

the alpha level at 0.05. According to Hatch and Farhady (1982) there are three assumptions which underlie the t-test as follows:

1) The subject was given to one group in experiment;

2) The variances’ scores were equal and normally distributed; 3) The scores on the independent variable were continuous.

Based on the statement above, it can be concluded that the normal distribution test and homogeneity of variance test were calculated before the t-test by comparing the level of significance.

3.7.2.1 Normality of Distribution

The aim of testing the normality of the distribution is to find out whether the sample is normally distributed or not. In this research, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Sample Test in SPSS version 16.0 was used to analyze the normal of distribution.

3.7.2.2 Homogeneity of variance

After conducting normality of distribution and the result was found, the researcher also need to test the homogeneity of the variance in order to get to know if there is any difference between the control and experimental group because after this test, Levene

(31)

3.7.2.3 The independent T-test

According to Kranzler (1999), t-test is used to determine whether the means of two groups are different to significant degree. The independent T-test is calculated by SPSS program. The result of this test was analyzed by comparing the significance value with the level of significance to the null hypothesis. If the degree of probability (p) <0,05, the null hypothesis is accepted. If the null hypothesis is rejected, then the hypothesis moves to find out which group is better.

3.7.3 Data Analysis on Post-test

After the treatments are given to experimental group, the post-test was conducted to both of the group in order to find out whether there is significant difference between students after the treatment was conducted to the experimental group. In analyzing the date of post-test, The procedures were also similar to the procedures of analyzing data of pre-test and also the independent t-pre-test was conducted in analyzing the post-test result of experimental and control groups.

In order to investigate whether there is significant difference between the two groups, a paired t-test was used in this study. In analyzing paired t-test, the researcher compared the scores of experimental group’s pre-test and post-test.

3.7.4. Effect Size

(32)

the effect of the treatment which was given to experimental group. The formula used manually based on the formula from Coolidge (2000) as follows:

Where: r = effect size

t = or from the calculation of independent t-test (post-test score) df = degree of freedom

In order to interpret the result, the scale from Coolidge (2000) was addapted as follows:

Table 3.3

The Effect Size Scale

Effect size r value

Small .100

Medium .243

Large .371

3.7.5. Data Analysis on Questionnaire

(33)

2004), the questionnaire is analyzed quantitatively by using the formula of percentage with some categories and criteria of percentage. The formula of percentage of this study is described as follows:

P = Percentage F= Frequency N= Response

There some categories of this percentage as follow: 1%-25% = A small number of students 26%-49% = Nearly a half of students

50% = Half of students

51%-75% = More than half of students 76%-99% = Almost all of students

100% = All of students

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS

This chapter presents the conclusions and suggestions of the research. The conclusions are explained based on the analysis of the research findings. Meanwhile, the suggestions provide further direction for the future researchers and English teachers.

5.1 Conclusions

(35)

The second major finding shows that almost all of the students give positive response to the implementation of direct method in improving speaking skill. The result also proves that the use of direct method gives many advantages in improving students’ speaking skill. Moreover, the students are more motivated to be involved in the teaching and learning process because they feel more confident and have more chances to try to speak. In conclusion, the use of direct method is effective in improving students’ speaking skill and can be used as an alternative in teaching speaking especially in introducing.
