INTRODUCTION

However, students speaking ability is very low. Evident the result of the
data from tenth B Grade of SMA Negeri 1 Tugu in speaking ability shown that
there are 26 students from 30 that still under average in speaking ability.
The effect above is caused by some factors. The first is because the teacher
used traditional methode in teaching learning process, they teach based on the text
book only without any interaction and use modern technique. So, the teacher as a
model and the student is as a listener. By this technique it is surely make the
student lazy to be more lazier. Even less to speaking.
To solve the problem above, the researcher is interested in using InsideOutside Circle Technique to improve students speaking ability. Inside and
Outside the Circle is a technique which is introduced by Spencer Kagan. Inside
outside is a terrific cooperative learning strategy that really engages English
language learners. This technique can give chance to all students to share
information at the same time with different partner in a short time and in such
structural way. Students stand in two concentric circles, facing a partner. The
inside circle faces out; the outside circle faces in. Students ask questions to their
partner, or they may take turns responding to a teacher questions. Partners switch
roles: outside circle students ask, listen, then praise or coach. After each question
or set of questions are already answer, students in the outer or inner circle rotate to
the next partner.
This technique gives many advantages in improving speaking skill. There
are many reasons to use this technique in learning English, especially to improve
students speaking ability. This technique can make the students get different
information at the same time on the material, and also this technique can
make the students easier and fun in learning English.
The model of teaching and learning is very important because it influences
the way of learning process. By using the right learning model, the learning
process will more directed. The students will be enjoyable and fun during teaching
learning process. They will not bored join to class activity which has interested
learning model. Based on the explanation above, the researcher takes a title
researcher formulates the statement of the problem as follows: How can the use of
Inside-Outside Circle Technique improve the students speaking ability of the
tenth B grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Tugu?

Hypothesis
If the Inside-Outside Circle Technique is applied well, it will improve the
tenth B grade students speaking ability at SMA Negeri 1 Tugu in academic year
2015/2016.

class action research, the researcher defines the key words as follow:
Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves
producing, receiving and processing information (Brown, 1994; Burn & Joyce,
1997). Its form and meaning are dependent on the context in which it occurs,
including the participant themselves, their collective experience, the physical
environment and the purposes for speaking. However, speaking is not always
unpredictable.
Inside-Outside Circle is an interesting strategy in teaching English
speaking, an English teacher is able to develop students speaking .This technique
can give chance to all students to share information at the same time with different
partner in a short time and in such structural way. By applying the strategy, the
teacher could improve students speaking, vocabulary, and motivation.

Based on the procedure of classroom action research above, we know
that the first step of the design is preliminary study. The scond step is
preparing a plan of action based on what have done in preliminary study.
Next, the third step is doing the action based on what have prepared and made
in planning activity. Here, in implementing the action, the researcher as an
observer and the teacher as a practitioner. Then the fourth step is observing
the implementation of the technique during the teaching learning process.
And the last step is reflecting, in which the researcher makes reflection to all
activities that have done in learning process and make analyze for the result.
3.2 Setting and subject of the Study
7
The place of this research will be carried out at SMA Negeri 1 Tugu,
Trenggalek subjects studied were in tenth A grade and consists of 30 students.
This school had been selected as a research site because many students who find
difficulties to learn English especially in speaking.

Research Procedure
According to Kemmis and Taggart (in Aqib 2006: 22), Classroom Action
3.3.3
Acting
To start this strategy, students stand in two concentric circles, facing a
partner. The inside circle faces out; the outside circle faces in. Students
ask questions to their partner, or they may take turns responding to a
teacher questions. Partners switch roles: outside circle students ask,
listen, then praise or coach. After each question or set of questions are
already answer, students in the outer or inner circle rotate to the next
partner. By using this strategy, hopefully can help the students solve
their speaking ability.
3.3.4
Observing
Observing is the process of collecting data indicating the success of the
strategy in solving the classroom problems. The researcher doing
observation is the process collecting data about many aspects which
happened during the implementation of the action in the class. In this
phase, the researcher observes and takes notes during teaching learning
process.
3.3.5
Reflecting
In this stage, the researcher reflected and analyzed whether the teaching
learning of reading was done successfully or not to reach the objectives
of the learning in the first cycle. If the reasearcher find some problems

Data
Kinds of the data collected in this study were both qualitative and
quantitative. In this study, qualitative data was the result of the
observation, the assessment process which include the activities of
teacher and student, and evaluation. Quantitative data were related to
the result or score of students speaking test.
3.4.2
Source of Data
In this research, the sources of data are the observer and the students.
Observation
The researcher plans this observation fixable and writes something that
happens in the classroom. It is used to know the situation of the
teaching learning process and the use of method applied in learning
process, namely Inside-Outside Circle Technique.
3.5.2
Documentation
Documentation is collecting data by looking or noting of report that is
available. Documentation technique benefits in the collecting students
grade to know their advancement speaking ability, the condition of
teachers, students, staffs, and location of SMA Negeri 1 Tugu.
