1 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background
In Indonesia, English is considered the first foreign language. It is
taught formally from elementary school up to university level because
English is very important and has many interrelationships with various
aspects of life owned by human being. Entering the era of globalization or
better known as the free market requires every individual to prepare
resources that are reliable, especially in the fields of science and
technology. In this case the role of English is needed in communication
technology to interact directly.
There are four skills in English language that should be mastered,
they are: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The reading skill
became very important in the education field, students need to be
exercised and trained in order to have a good reading skill. The students
should be able to master more vocabulary if they want to learn the four
skills. Without speaking, we are like dumb persons. Most of us are
familiar with how people feel about appearances, but the manner in which
you speak is also important. Even if you are dressed nicely, using poor
grammar will show that you are wolf in sheep's clothing. You might look

must focus on your appearance as well as your manner of speaking.
Competence-oriented is used in the curriculum today, meaning that
students are required to have certain competencies or skills as a result of
the learning process at school. Competency-based education is emphasized
on the ability to be possessed by graduates of the education level.
Competence is often called the standard of competence or the ability
which generally must be mastered graduates. Therefore, the
implementation of competency-based education is expected to produce
graduates who are able to compete at the global level.
Learning and speaking English is an important step in the
settlement process because it helps newcomers obtain better jobs, get
involved in their communities, participate in events, vote with confidence
and express themselves. Therefore, the writer is interested in Teaching
English Speaking to the students in SMP N 1 Masaran and the apprentice
held job training as an English teacher at SMP N 1 Masaran especially for
the first grade students of Junior High School in focusing this final
project.The apprentice wants to complete the data for final project report
and improve skills and abilities in teaching students. The title of this final
project is "Teaching Speaking to the First Grade Students of Junior

teaching, teaching English speaking to young learners, and techniques of
teaching speaking.
A. Teaching
“Teaching is guiding, facilitating, learning, enabling the learner to
learn, and setting the condition for learning” (Brown, 2000:7). It means
that, the teacher should guide the students in learning process. Teacher
does not only guide a student, but also facilitate the students in materials.
The teacher gives material and asks students to do the assignment from the
teacher.
According to Bill Page (http://teachers.net/gazette/JAN02/page.html),
“Teaching is relationship between teacher and learner. The learner gets the
benefit of the learning, while the teacher gets credit for the teaching." It
can be concluded that, teaching is a process of learning between teacher
and students. In learning, students can receive material that is given by

Teaching is managing situation and condition of learning activity. The
teacher has to manage the class and gives assignment that will be useful
for the students and the teacher.
B. Teaching English Speaking to Young learners
Speaking is "the process of building and sharing meaning through the
use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts" (Chaney,
1998:13). Speaking is a crucial part of second language learning and
teaching. As a result, Students are expected to express themselves and
learn how to follow verbal and non-verbal symbols appropriate in each
communicative circumstance.
Teaching speaking to young learners is an interesting and challenging
duty for teachers for some considerations. In one hand, young learners are
individuals of very early age who are interested in many new things such
as a foreign language, English.Young learners will enthusiast in learning,
if we often praise them. Due to the praise, they would like the material that
we teach and they will be motivated to learn English happily. “Young
Learners are enthusiastic and positive about learning. We all thrive on
doing well and being praised for what we do and this is especially true for
young learners. It is important to praise them if they are to keep their
enthusiasm and feel successful from the beginning. If we label children

From the definition above, it can be concluded that Teacher should
provide maximum opportunity to the students to speak the target language
by providing a rich environment that contains collaborative work,
authentic materials and tasks, and shared knowledge.
C. Techniques of Teaching English Speaking to Children
1. Mulyono state that, there are three skills in teaching speaking,
guided speaking, responsive speaking, and productive speaking.
a. Guided Speaking
Guided speaking is emphasized on pronunciation and limited
speaking with clue or track that has been planned.
b. Responsive Speaking
The ability of the students in speaking can be stimulated from
reading (English only), and reading has many vocabularies and
structure of language. In this second technique, the ability of
students in English speaking appears with stimulate reading

Speaking a broad discourse is the main purpose of this
technique. However, it can be obtained if the student has
mastered the first and the second technique well.
(http://myenglish01.wordpress.com/2010/06/07/teknik-pengajaran-speaking-conversation/).
2. Suggestopedia
“Suggestopedia is a teaching method, which focuses on how to
deal with the relationship between mental potential and learning
efficacy and it is very appropriate to use in teaching speaking for
young language learners” (Xue, 2005:27). By using this teaching
method, Young language learners can lower their affective filter.
3. Using comfortable environment.
In the classroom, the chairs are arranged semicircle and faced the
black or white board in order to make the students pay more
attention and get more relaxed. The light in the classroom is dim in
order to make the students’ mind more relaxed.
4. Reporting the topic
Before coming to class, students are asked to read a newspaper or
magazine and, in class, they report to their friends what they find
commit to user

they have experienced anything worth telling their friends in their
daily lives before class.
5. Using Pictures
The teacher gives a picture at random. Students sort the pictures
and tell the events in the picture. Using pictures can develop
teaching speaking process.
As well as enjoying pictures they also form a key resource
for accessing the different learning styles that each student
has. Using pictures really appeals to visual learners who
may suffer in a speaking and listening based classroom.
They also offer an opportunity for movement and a
multi-dimensional perspective which will reach our kinesthetic
learners. Available at

Game is an interesting thing to young learners. In this case, the
writer gave a sheet of paper that must be filled by the students.
There were many pictures of face in this paper. One of the students
asked her/his friend one by one with the same question. When
her/his friend answered “yes, I like it!”, the student drew a smile
face, but when her/his friend answered “no, I don’t like it!” the
student drew a sad face. In this case, the students would be easy to
memorize how to express something without getting bored. For

Complete the following table by asking your friends, and then write their name in the table. See example!
