Speaking is the ability to express feelings, ideas, concepts, wishes, opinion or arguments, and so on thought oral sequences. Speaking is one of the skills which must be taught in Senior High School. So, the students should speak English fluently. But, In fact the eleventh grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus have difficulties to speak actively in English.

xi ABSTRAK

Ariyani, Anita. 2014. Penggunaan Buzz Group Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berbicara Siswa Kelas XI SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014. Skripsi: Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd., M.Pd. (2) Fajar Kartika, SS. M.Hum

Kata kunci: keterampilan berbicara, buzz group.

Berbicara adalah kemampuan untuk mengekspresikan perasaan, ide, konsep, harapan, pikiran atau pendapat dan lain sebagainya secara lisan. Berbicara adalah salah satu keterampilan yang harus diajarkan di SMA. Jadi, siswa harus berbahasa Inggris dengan lancar. Tapi, kenyataanya siswa kelas XI SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus memiliki kesulitan untuk berbicara berbahsa inggris secara aktif. Kejadian ini disebabkan oleh beberapa factor. Mereka rendah kosa kata dan kurangnya kepercayaan siswa untuk berbicara. Berdasarkan percakapan dengan guru bahasa Inggris, skor siswa dalam berbicara masih rendah dan masih di bawah KKM. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, penulis menggunakan buzz group dalam pengajaran bahasa inggris untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara mereka.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah buzz group dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa dari kelas XI SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun akademik 2013/2014 dan untuk menggambarkan efektivitas buzz group sebagai teknik untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa kelas XI SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Kelompok Buzz adalah sekelompok kecil yang terbagi dari kelompok besar yang diberi tugas untuk menyelesaikan tugas dalam jangka waktu yang singkat. Teknik ini dapat membantu siswa meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara mereka

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas. Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014, khususnya di Siswa Kelas XI Tehnik Otomotif. Jumlah siswa dalam penelitian ini adalah 23 siswa. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan lembar observasi untuk mengetahui aktivitas guru dan siswa dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan buzz group. Penulis juga menggunakan tes untuk mengetahui tingkat keterampilan berbicara siswa.
