MOTTO
Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour.
Twenty years from now you will be more dissappointed by the things that
you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the save harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
“For each one are successive (angels) before and behind him who protect him
by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of people until they change what is in themselves. Moreover, when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them

ACTIVITIES IN SPEAKING CLASSES

This research was aimed to find out activities which were mostly used by the lecturers in speaking classes as well as their reasons in using such activities in speaking classes. This research was carried out in three speaking classes of English Education Department. Those speaking classes were speaking 2A, speaking 4A and speaking 4C. Three lecturers who handled those speaking classes were chosen as the subject of this research. The teaching learning process conducted by three lecturers in speaking classes was observed to describe the activities that they used in teaching speaking. This observation was done nine times in which each class was observed three times. Then, the interview toward those three lecturers was done after finishing three times observation in each class. This was aimed to confirm the result of observation and to know their reasons in using those activities in speaking classes. The result of data analysis revealed that: first, discussion was the activity mostly used by the lecturers in speaking classes since it helped the students comprehend deeply the material. Moreover, it also encouraged them to practice more in speaking and have interaction with their friends. Second, brainstorming and speech were the activities used by some lecturers. Two of three lecturers always used those activities in their speaking classes since they wanted to motivate her students to be ready and feel comfortable to learn. In addition, they wanted to make their students confident to speak in front of people by always asking them to perform a speech. Third, reporting, interview, and information gap were the activities used by only one lecture since she did not want to make the students feel bored by only using the same activity in each meeting.
