    CHAPTER IINTRODUCTION

    A.Background of the Study.

    Look at the developing science and technology, language has an

    important rule for human life, by using language the people will express

    their ideas, emotion, and desires, and it is used as a medium to interact

    with one another, to full their daily need. English has been the most

    important language in international communication. The people all over

    the world speak the language when they meet one another in every

    international meeting, workshop, or conference. All countries in the world

    have set the language as one of the compulsory subect studied at school.

    English has many functions, one of them as stated in the !""#

    curriculum that English is means for the students to develop science,

    technology, culture and art, and the nal obective of teaching and

    learning process is the students are expected to master the four skills of

    language$ listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Teaching and learning

    will be success if they are supported by some factors such as the method

    that is used in teaching English, completeness of teaching facilitation,

    interesting media, and condition of school environment.

    %ndonesia as one of the developing countries has also set its

    educational curriculum to include English as a foreign language which is

    studied from unior high school up to the university level. &eing successful

    students are not easy, this fact can be seen mostly at eight grader of '()

    (uhammadiyah #+ ikupa, although they have been studying English for

    more than a year, but they are still unable to use English in interacting

    with their teacher in the classroom.

    'peaking is important for them to practice their capability and their

    understanding, how to send idea, and how to spell word well- in this case

    the students motivation and interest are very needed to make the

    process of their understanding more easily. &ecause of the material of

    English subect is very variety, so the teachers are obligated to choose the

    suitable approach, strategy, and method in order to achieve the teaching

    purposes easily, and the media will make the students to be more

    motivated to study. The teacher who is able to present the material easily

    will be students idol. The teacher can use some methods in teaching

    learning process to help the students understanding about the material

    that is explained. %n applying method, the teachers have to prepare many

    things like- teaching material, classroom management, and many other

    aspects because using inappropriate techni/ue can make the students get

    di0culties in understanding the teachers explanation and it means that

    the teacher may be failed in teaching them.

    To make the students have strong interest in teaching and learning

    process especially in learning speaking, the teacher should take the best

    approach, method, and strategies. Then, the teacher can use media in

    teaching of English language, method are used to help the students for

    speaking to make interaction between the teacher and students.

    1urthermore, the teacher has to prepare the interested aids before

    teaching learning process done. %n this case, the researcher used board

    game as method in teaching learning processes.

    The teacher can use board game as method in teaching and

    learning processes. According to 23ornby *445$ #+67 game is an activity

    that you do to have some fun. &oard game can be dened as something

    or an instrument that is used to attract students motivation to follow the

    teaching and learning process because board game can make the

    students more focus in learning, because they do not feel that they are

    forced to learn. They also enable learners to ac/uire new experiences

    within a foreign language which are not always possible during a typical

    lesson. &oard game can be method that will give many advantages for

    teacher and the students either.

    (ethod must be able to increase the students motivation in

    learning English, especially in speaking English. And, method has to be

    able to manipulate, see able, listenable, and readable. At last the teacher

    hopes that method can motivate his students to speak English to

    communicate their need especially in the classroom and in their daily

    need in general.

    &oard game as a method of intertwinement can build up the

    students motivation and reinforce any language skill as speaking and

    listening. The students playing board game in the classroom only for

    language learning and help them to increase their speaking skill which

    they can apply it outside of the classroom.

    ommunication is one of the implementation of language function in

    society as a means of carrying out the a8airs. 'tudents are not easy to

    speak English :uently if they only study at school generally, they will get

    it in real life listening to the native speaker. &ut, if the school has certain

    rule and has good condition of school environment, so the students can

    speak English as well.

    'peaking is one of four language skills, which is basic function of

    language as communication instrument. 'tudents who study at the school

    which use certain language will be a good speaker, di8erent from students

    who study at the other school. They will get di0culties in using English to

    speak each other- it is caused by condition of school environment and

    media that is used in teaching them.

    %n this chapter will discuss about the nature of speaking, the

    meaning of speaking, the function of speaking, the aspect of speaking

    ability, and macro and micro skill of speaking ability.

    +. The Nature of S$eak%ng A"%#%ty&rown 2in %slamiyah, !""?$ *#7 states that speaking is a

    productive skill that can be directly and empirically observed, those

    observations are invariably collared by the accuracy and :uency.

    6/28

    construction of linguistic strings, the speakers make choices of

    lexicon, structure, and discourse.)oerdarminta 2in %slamiyah, !""?$ *#7 states that the classical

    meaning of speaking is the ability to talk, and to speak. The main

    purpose of speaking is to send the message for the other one or to

    be able to communicate about something in language and

    understood by someone who becomes a listener.Tarigan 2in %slamiyah, !""?$ *#7 states that speaking is one of

    the language skills in oral form to express the speakers ideas to

    everybody else. @hile, speaking is the informal interchange of

    thought and information by spoken words.,. The -ean%ng of S$eak%ng A"%#%ty

    'peaking ability consists of two words are speaking and ability.

    To avoid misunderstanding about the meaning of speaking ability, it

    will clarify one by one. According to )oerwadarminta 2*4+5$ *"47. %t

    is also stated by 3ornby 2*44"$ 5*7 that abilitys potential capacity

    of power to do something physically or mentally. Those description

    may concluded that ability is capability of human which identical

    with ability. According to iwandono 2in (unir, !""5$ *67 speaking

    is the activity to express thought and feeling orally.'peaking is an articulation of sound to express thought.

    Tarigan 2*44"$ *57, says that speaking is the capability in

    pronouncing sound or word to express or convey though, idea or

    feelingB opinion and wish. Another expert says that speaking is talk

    or speaks 23aryanto in 'unardi, !""#$ *97. %f both speaking and

    ability are combined, so it means a capability to utter the

    6

  • 7/21/2019 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BOARD GAME TO INCREASE STUDENTS ABILITY IN SPEAKING

    7/28

    articulation of sound to express or to deliver thought, opinion and

    wish to the other person.. The Funct%on of S$eak%ng A"%#%ty

    &rown and Cule in 1auDi 2!"*!$ #7 also describe a useful

    distinction between two basic language function. These are the

    transactional function, which is primarily concerned with the

    transfer of information, and the interactional function, in which the

    primary purpose of speech is the maintenance of social relationship.Another basic distinction when considering the development

    of speaking ability is between monologue and dialogue. They ability

    to give an uninterrupted oral presentation is very clear from

    interacting one people and another speakers for transactional and

    intersectional purpose, while, all native speakers can and do use

    language interaction, not all native speaker have the ability to be

    extempore on a given subect to group of listeners. 1urthermore,

    &rown and Cule in 1auDi 2!"*!$ #7 suggest that most language

    teaching is concerned with developing skills in short intersectional

    exchanges in which the learner is only re/uired to make one or two

    utterance at a time.&ased on the above statement, &ygate in 1auDi 2!"*!$ 57

    distinguishes that ;between motorperceptive skill, which are

    concerned with correctly using the sound and structures of

    language, and interactional skill, which involves motor perceptive

    skill for the purpose of communicationB motor perceptive skill are

    developed in the language classroom through activities such as

    model dialogues, patterns practice, oral drills and so on, until

    speaking that is ;the re/uirements of e8ective speaking such as$

    intonation, phonetic transcription and environment expressionB.The opinion above describes that, to able communicate

    e8ectively, it must be considered that situation of sound utterance,

    pronunciation and physical. Fn the other hand, Galetto in 1auDi

    phonetic transcription, grammar, vocabulary, the e8ective and

    speakingB

    &olkus, board games can be very entertaining. A lot of companies

    are making educational board games that teach things such as

    adding or phonics. @hile these are obviously educational, any type

    of board game can teach kids many important concepts.

    This study will address 5 important concepts that playing

    board games can teach children.

    *. Taking Turns and 3aving )atience$ %n board games, kids are

    taught to wait for their turn. 'ometimes this can be hard as kids

    tend to get anxious. 3owever, as this skill is practiced, it will get

    easier for them in board games and in playing with friends and

    siblings in general.

    !. )laying 1air$ %t is so easy for kids to get upset when they lose a

    turn or things dont go the way they planned, but it is important

    for them to learn that cheating is not fair. %n a way it follows the

    golden rule because they wouldnt want someone else to cheat

    so they need to not cheat. Learning this concept will help kids as

    they grow older and have di8erent disappointments when things

    dont turn out as planned. %t will also teach them to be honest in

    school and, later on, the workplace.

    9. >easoning and 'trategy 'kills$ )laying board games will help kids

    reason and strategiDe about the best way to Jplay their cardsJ to

    their best advantage. This is an important concept in making

    everyday life decisions throughout.

    #. Kood 'portsmanship$ (any kids get so worked up about having

    to win the game and boast if they do. Then if they dont win they

    may be bitter or say hurtful things. Mids need to know that

    having fun is the most important part of playing the game and to

    be humble and have good sportsmanship no matter who

    wins. Learning this concept can help them in any friendships they

    have as well as to be happy about others achievements.
