Abstract

The objectives of this study are: (1) to describe the implementation of teaching speaking using simulation in MAN Wonogiri, and (2) to find out whether the teaching speaking using simulation in MAN Wonogiri improve the student’s speaking competence or not. The writer employs a classroom action research. This research was conducted in eight meetings. The data sources of this research are the scores of student’s pre-test and post-test, field notes, and interview scripts. The methods of collecting data are observation, document, test, and interview. The techniques for analyzing the data are reduction, presentation, and verification of the data. Based on the analysis, the writer draws some conclusions. First, the implementation of simulation technique in class action research is effective because the students can enrich the vocabulary more, not afraid and shy to perform in front of the class and they are active in speaking activities. The processes of improving speaking competence using simulation are asking the students to act as other person in different situation. The speaking activity is completed with some forms of document related to the topic in order that the activity looks real, then giving some props to the students in their act in order that they are more enjoyed and interested in speaking activity. Second, the result of teaching action using simulation technique shows that the students’ score of post-test is higher than the students’ score of pre-test so the writer can conclude that the students are able to achieve a good result. Third, the students’ response of teaching speaking using simulation technique in speaking class is good. It can be shown from the result of interview after the teaching action has been implemented. Moreover, they are not bored in teaching learning process and they get motivation in speaking activity.
