Abstract

English is known as an international language around the world. Some countries use English as their spoken language. Through speaking, people can deliver thoughts, ideas, and information to others. In English learning, speaking can become a problem for students. Some of them still feel worried, afraid, and anxious to speak in front of other people. Perhaps, it happens because they don’t know what they have to say or they don’t know how to say it. There is a technique in teaching speaking named role play which can help students to improve their ability and even their confidence. This study was conducted to know the effect of role play in improving students’ speaking ability and if there was an improvement or not on students’ speaking achievement after being taught by using role play. The writer used pre experimental one group pretest posttest. This study was implemented in grade 8 of X Junior high school in Surabaya which consisted of 16 students as the subjects. The writer collected the data to find the answer for the research questions of this study: “What is the effect of role play technique on the speaking achievement of 8th graders before and after the treatment?”. First of all, the writer gave pretest to the students and collected their scores using scoring rubric adapted from a website. Then, the writer gave role play as the treatment to the students for four times and gave posttest to the students at the end. After collecting the data, the writer calculated their scores to find the mean and analyzed it using T-Test to find out whether there was a significant effect or not on students’ speaking achievement before and after the treatment. The result of the study showed that role play did not give significant effect in improving students’ speaking ability. It could be seen from the result where the mean scores of pretest and posttest were 32,18 and 47,56. Although there was a difference, it was not significant.
