for the Eighth Grade Students of SMP N 2 Jati Kudus in Academic Year

2013/2014”.Skripsi.English Education Department of Teacher Training

Keyword: Participation point system, Narrative Text, Speaking Ability.

Speaking as an oral language is one of the important English skills which

are considered essential to be taught in this global era, in which communication

takes an important role in information world. In this research the researcher wants

to discuss one of the many problems connected with English learning. However,

in reality, the students hardly speak actively in their English classes, they tend to

be very quiet and be passive listeners. This may be caused by many psychological

factors, such as fear of making mistakes, shyness, and low motivation. Thus, the

students’ speaking ability is low.

The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant

difference between the ability of English speaking for the eighth grade students of

SMP N 2 Jati Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by

using Participation Point System.

This Research is an experimental research which consists of two variables.

There are independent and dependent variable. Here, the independent variable is

the use of Participation Point System that influence to dependent variable, it is the

ability of speaking ability of the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Jati Kudus in

academic year 2013/2014.

The result of the research showed that there were some improvements in

students’ speaking ability. In pre-test, the mean of the speaking ability of the

eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Jati Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 after

taught by using Participation Point System is 77 and the standard deviation is

6.95. It is good achievement. While, the mean of the speaking ability of the eighth

grade students of SMP N 2 Jati Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 before taught

by using Participation Point System is 65.73 and the standard deviation are 11.06.

It is categorized as sufficient achievement.

Learning from the result, it can be concluded that the use of Participation

Point System can increase the students’ speaking ability. The teacher suggested

using Participation Point System as a technique for teaching another aspect of

English. While, for the further researchers, they are suggested to explore the use

of the other features available in Participation Point System.

Berbicara adalah suatu bahasa lisan yang merupakan salah satu

Ketrampilan Bahasa Inggris yang penting untuk diajar di jaman globalisasi

sekarang ini, di mana komunikasi mengambil suatu peran penting di dalam dunia

informasi. Di penelitian ini peneliti ingin mendiskusikan salah satu permasalahan

yang berhubungan dengan belajar Bahasa Inggris. Bagaimanapun, pada

kenyataannya, para siswa sulit berbicara dengan aktif di dalam kelas Bahasa

Inggris mereka, mereka cenderung pasif dan hanya menjadi pendengar pasif. Ini

mungkin disebabkan oleh faktor kejiwaan banyak orang, seperti takut melakukan

kesalahan, perasaan malu, dan motivasi yang rendah. Karena itu, kemampuan

berbicara siswa menjadi rendah.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan apakah ada suatu

perbedaan penting antara kemampuan berbicara siswa kelas delapan SMP N 2 Jati

Kudus tahun akademi 2013/2014 sebelum dan setelah diajar menggunakan

Participation Point System.

Penelitian ini adalah sebuah penelitian eksperimen, yang mana ada dua

variabel. Yaitu independen dan dependen. Pada penelitian ini, dependen variabel

adalah penggunaan Participation Point System yang mempengaruhi independen

variabel, yaitu kemampuan berbicara pada siswa kelas delapan SMP N 2 Jati

Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014.

Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan pada

kemampuan berbicara pada siswa. Pada pre-test rata-rata nilai kemampuan

berbicara siswa SMP N 2 Jati Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 setelah diajar

menggunakan Participation Point System adalah 77 dan standar deviasi nya

adalah 6,95. Itu termasuk dalam kategori nilai baik. Sedangkan nilai rata-rata

siswa sebelum diajar menggunakan Participation Point System adalah 65,73 dan

standar deviasi nya adalah 11,06. Dan di kategorikan sebagai nilai cukup.

Dari hasil tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan Participation

Point System dapat meningkatkan kemapuan berbicara siswa. Guru disarankan

agar menggunakan Participation Point System sebagai tehnik untuk pengajaran

berbagai aspek dalam bahasa Inggris. Sedangkan, bagi peneliti lainnya, mereka

disarankan agar mengeksplor fitur lain di dalamnya.
