Purpose and Benefit of Study 1. The purpose of this research is to improve speaking performance of tenth grade students at Senior High School of Muhammadiyah 1 Metro by using Match Game. According to Richard, speech performance is a way of using language, a way of speaking.14 On the other hand, Nunan said, communication would be completely predictable if language were. Based on some explanations above, the author can assume that speech performance is always related to communication and speech performance itself.
At one and of a continuum of types of speaking performance is the ability to simply parrot (mimic) a word or phrase or possibly a sentence.
The Concept of Match Game
- Definition of Match Game
- The Procedure of Match Game
- The Objective of Match Game
- Games and Teacher's Role During The Entire Process
Based on the definition above, that teaching requires methods or strategies that make the material easier for students to accept, the game is believed to make students more focused and focus on the material given by the teacher. If the game is too easy, then the students would get bored quickly and if the game is so difficult, the students would not benefit, so what is taught by the teacher cannot be grasped by the students. Teachers must first understand the game, using the first language to more easily understand the rules of the game.
To make the game interesting, make sure students understand the language content needed to play the game and the rules needed to play the game.
Action Hypothesis
- Variables of Research
- Operational Definition of Variables
The dependent variable of the research is the students' speaking performance and the independent variable in this research is match play. Dependent variable is a variable that can be improved with an independent variable.39 The dependent variable in this research is student's . speaking performance that focuses on student performance. According to Evelyn, Independent Variable is variable that the researcher suspects may relate to or improve the dependent variable.
In a sense, the dependent variable 'depends' on the independent variable.40 The independent variable of this study is the use of match games.

School.41 This means that an action research is a research that is used to examine and evaluate the students' work in learning with the aim of gathering information about what they want. These schemes above mean that action research is problem solving that aims to bring about change and improvement in practice. So the researcher provides an action plan to solve the problem in teaching and increase the speaking performance by using game play.
This step is the most important part of conducting an action research, because by knowing the problem, the researcher and the collaborator can find a good solution to solve the problem. While the learning processes, the researcher would observe at the same time as the learning activity. At the end of this step, the researcher would conduct the post-test to know the result of the treatment.
After the activities were finished, the researcher evaluated all the activities to find out whether the student's speaking performance had improved by using matching games. D. In this step, the researcher analyzed how the effect of the acting was, which thing needed to be repaired and which thing was paid attention to in the next acting. Then the researcher would know the strength and weakness of the action done by the researcher.
In this step, the researcher observes the learning process by using an observation format to collect the data in Action Plan II. In this step, the researcher compares the score of the pre-test and the post-test.
Data Collection Method
In order to know the students' speaking performance, the researcher uses an oral test that students come forward and tell or describe the theme they have chosen. Observation was a kind of data collection method by observing directly to the object that researched, such as the location and the teaching learning process of the school. In the observation, the researcher makes some notes and checklist to check the data again.
It means to know about the location sketch of Senior High School Muhammadiyah 1 Metro and the process of students' learning activities in the classroom. During the research process, the researcher would collect some documents such as the total number of students, teachers, school history and the condition of the school at Senior High School Muhammadiyah 1 Metro in the academic year 2018/2019. To collect data more accurately, the researcher uses field notes to make it easy to analyze the data.
Research Instrument
The last one, the indicator of students' speaking performance, is that students can improve their performance based on their fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy and interaction strategies. The researcher uses content validity, so that the instrument is of good quality and the instrument is relevant to the focus of the research. Therefore, the researcher uses content validity based on the syllabus and materials of the tenth grade of Senior High School Muhammadiyah 1 Metro in the academic year.

In planning, the researcher makes the lesson plan and the researcher will teach the students using the lesson plan. This was done by the collaborator to recognize the participation of students and teachers in the learning process. Based on the result, it could be analyzed that the students' speaking performance level was low.
Students did not meet the minimum standard at Muhammadiyah 1 Metro High School. It opened by praying, greeting, checking the attendance list and introducing the researcher as a teacher to the students.

The teacher provided more explanation about the descriptive text with the application of Match Game in the material, so that the material could be better understood by the students. At the end of the meeting, the teacher concluded the meeting by motivating the students to study hard so that they could get a good score, especially in the English subject. After administering the treatment in cycle 2, the researcher conducted post-test 2 on Monday, January 21, 2019.
From the above table, it could be seen that the students' average score in post-test 2 was 75.37. From the table and figure above, it can be seen that there was an increasing score from post-test 1 and post-test 2. Based on the result of the observation sheet in cycle 2, the researcher indicated that learning process in cycle 2 was successful.
Based on the result of the research in cycle 2, it could be concluded that cycle 2 was successful. At the end of this cycle, the comparison score between students post-test 1 and post-test 2 can be analyzed which can be seen on the following table.
