2. Factor that Support and Hinder the Implementation of Interactive Dialogue in Improving the Speaking Skills of Grade X Social Studies
Students at Ma Ma'arif Klego Ponorogo for the 2022/2023 School Year.
Speaking skills are a must-have for every student in this modern era.
Speaking skills can not only be done in the school environment but also applied in the community, especially in the world of work. The ability to speak English is also one of the most decisive abilities in getting a job because the ability to speak and write English is a requirement to become an employee.
Schools have various efforts to be able to make students have good speaking skills. However, as a teacher or educator who deals directly with students, of course, there are supporting and inhibiting factors in teaching English as follows:
a. Supporting Factors 1) Family Environtment
The family environment is often referred to as the first place children receive education from both parents. Family can be a contributing factor for dialogue. In the family environment, parents also become teachers to teach children to learn anything. The role of the family can shape the child's attitude and personal patterns, it can also determine the educational process that the child gets, not only at school but all factors can be used as a source of education.
The family environment can also act as a source of knowledge for
31
44 children, this can also affect the success of student achievement.
2) Peer Learning
In addition to the parental factor, it is also influenced by peers or social friends because there are still many who consider the ability to speak in English is not too important. Usually students get various information through their peers, sometimes students believe more in what their friends say than their parents or teachers. Peers can bring things that have a positive or negative impact on student learning.
Sometimes students speak English just for fun, students also often listen to English songs. Therefore, at MA Ma'arif Klego Ponorogo, when teachers know that there are students who do this, they feel a little happy, because at least there is motivation for students to learn to improve their speaking skills.
3) Supporting Media
The influence of peers on students' speaking ability is very strong, especially in modern times supported by technological sophistication which can also affect students' learning styles. Based on observations, researchers observed some students who were hanging out with their friends, they operated mobile phones, but the topic discussed was discussing the tasks given by the teacher, so that the cellphones owned were used as supporting tools or facilitating learning. In addition, there are also some students who get along with their peers. But when chatting, they often say English words just as
31 a joke
b. Hinder Factors
Hinder factors for students with difficulty speaking are usually caused by:
1) Difficulty Expressing Ideas Verbally
This is in line with what Umi Latifah, S.Pd. said to the peanut English teacher, namely:
"Yes, the problem is because the main language here is Javanese and in schools it is usually Indonesian, so that's what makes it difficult for students to learn English. Yes, it may be due to lack of motivation, the scheduled time is also limited, and insufficient resources, teachers may be lacking. So that's the barrier to teaching in English."
This is supported by documentation that reinforces that the student's main language is an one of hinder factor that causes difficulties for students to express their ideas verbally using English.
2) Limited Vocabullary
From the observations that the researchers made, most students experienced a lack of ability to master vocabulary. Therefore, this is an obstacle in students' difficulties in speaking English fluently.
31
46 Because vocabulary is an important basis in constructing a correct sentence.
3) Lack of Grammar Skill
Grammar is one of the important foundations in composing a sentence. Without grammar, sentences will certainly be messy and not according to the rules. This will make it difficult for the speaker to convey the topic he wants to convey and listeners will find it difficult to accept the speaker's intent. However, from the observations the researchers made, mastering grammar was very difficult for the students.
4) Lack of Ability to Pronounce Words
In speaking English, students still have difficulty pronouncing the correct words or sentences according to English spelling.
Students still pronounce according to the existing writing, for example the word "one" should be read "wan" but students still say
"one". This is one of the inhibiting factors in students' fluency in speaking English, because students do not understand how to read words correctly.
5) Lack of Courage to Speak up
Courage in speaking is an important factor to facilitate students' speaking, so that they can convey what students mean clearly and correctly. However, based on the factors above, it shows that there are several factors that result in students lacking the courage to speak
31
English. So that of course students experience difficulties in improving English speaking skills.
6) Family Environment
The family environment is the main environment that influences the student learning process. Lack of support in the family will be an inhibiting factor in students to improve speaking skills. Some of the students said that when they wanted to try to learn to speak English at home, the average family thought that it was not important because students lived in an environment where the main languages were Javanese and Indonesian.
7) Peers
In the process of learning to speak English friends are also one of the factors that can hinder students. Because some friends when students try to speak English friends will mock and that can make students less confident. Peers should also be able to chat about the material being studied through groups on their social media.
However, there are still many who do not take advantage of this modern technology to improve the quality of the learning process.
Students and their friends even use their gadgets just to play games, or talk about unimportant things.
8) School Environment
When in class, in receiving material or understanding English material, students sometimes feel uncomfortable. Because students
31
48 feel uncomfortable and safe in the learning. In addition, the lack of closeness or communication between teachers and students can also affect the learning process. The impact that results from the lack of closeness between the teacher and students is when the teaching and learning process in class students become lazy to pay attention and prefer to talk to their peers or be engrossed in their own activities. In addition, when students have difficulty understanding learning material, students will prefer to be silent and not ask the teacher because they feel uncomfortable when talking to the teacher.
