DESCRIPTIVE QUALITATIVE MATRIX

THE STUDENTS’ ABILITY OF USING IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION

IN SPEAKING SKILLS

Name : Al Fatkhu Firramadhani

Student’s Number :204180004

No Component Description
1 Background Most of Indonesian English learners find words or vocabularies to be
their main hindrance. It is not surprising because the English
language is still a foreign language in Indonesia and it is one of the
fastest and most vivid languages in the world. It is made up of over
1.5 million words. Over and above that, the same word can have a
variety of different meanings depending on the context it is put intwo
(or more) words can have the exact same spelling but are pronounced
differently, depending on their meanings. Common or general words
are hard to learn, what to say idiomatic expressions whose meanings
cannot be inferred from the meanings of the words that make it up.

In spite of its hardness, idiomatic expressions are very important

because they are used in everyday English conversation. They are a
natural part of language and are used by native speakers not only on
special occasions... but in every and each occasion!!

The seventh graders of SMP Negeri 87 Jakarta are fond of English.

They sometimes communicate in Englsih. In the classroom, when
they have to present something before class in English, they tend to
be active and like to talk in English. The English they use, however,
is very limited to some bookish words that sound so awkard.
2 Research The research questions in this research is as a follow:
Questions 1. To what extent do the seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 87
Jakarta learn the basic two-word verb idiomatic expressions?

2. Is there any possible influence of two-word verb idiomatic

expression learning on the speaking skill?
3 Research Whether there is any effect of two-word verb idiomatic expression
Objectives mastery on the speaking skill of the seventh grade students of SMP
Negeri 87 Jakarta
4 Significance Accordingly the writer wishes this to be significant from both
of the Study theoretical and practical point of view.
1. Theoretically:
a. The primary purpose of basic two-word verb idiomatic expression
learning research is to get any information needed by both teachers
and students so that they may make the best effort to enhance any
progress or improve any shortcomings they might find.
b. Idiomatic—two-word verb—expressions are inseparable in English
study the learning to the natural mastery of which will hopefully
enhance the speaking skill required or set in the teaching-learning
target within the curriculum. In addition, speaking skill is one of the
skills English learners are supposed to command. Without this skill, a
learner of English would be considered as nothing but a passive
English speaker.
c. By using more and more two-word verb expressions, one can
express their opinions in more various ways in accordance with their
feelings or mood in a proper and right way that is going to be
naturally and beautifully understood and appreciated as normal or
standard English communication.

2. Practically
a. Speaking is maybe the hardest skill students need to learn and
master. However, its mastery is a must, because it is one of the skills
an English learner must master.
b. Two-word verb idiomatic expressions are part of English words or
vocabulary that one should learn and command so that they can
understand English, especially spoken or informal one better. Spoken
English modes will make both interlocutors more familiar to each
other faster. It is also a common practice to use these kinds of words.
5 Theorical Speaking
Background There are many experts explaining definition of speaking. Speaking
is a productive language skill. It means that speaking is a person‘s
skills to produce sounds that can be understood by other people, so
that he or she is able to create good communication. It is a mental
concept processed by someone in such a way to form a meaning
when uttered.
Wendy and Listbeth state that speaking is perhaps the demanding
skill for the teacher to teach. In their own language children are able
to express emotions, communicate intonations and reactions, explore
the language and make fun of it, so they expect to be able to do the
same in English.
Speaking in Heaton‘s words has five elements:
1. Pronunciation. Harmer, in this case, states that if students want to
be able to speak English fluently, they need to be able to pronounce
phonemes correctly, use appropriate stress and intonation pattern and
and speak in connected speech.
2. Grammar. According to Bygate, to be able speak foreign language,
it is necessary to know a certain amount of grammar and vocabulary.
3. Vocabulary. Folse defines vocabulary as single words, set phrases,
verbs, and idioms.
 4. Fluency. In the words of Riddel, fluency is the ability to talk freely
without too much stopping or hasitating.
5. Comprehension. Heaton defines comprehension as the ability to
understand something of what a situation is really like.
Speaking Skill
This is the productive skill a learner must possess so that he can
express his ideas in a spoken mode. Harmer says, ―While listening
and reading involve the ability to correctly receive messages and are
therefore referred to as receptive skills, speaking and writing, on the
other hand, involve language production and are referred to as
productive skills.
This skilll has often meant a difficulty and an obstacle for English
learners. There might arise a question why. The answer is obvious. In
the natural spoken language students are required to be aware of
characteristics of fluent speech, such as reduced forms, fixed phrases,
collocations and most importantly the pace of speech and use of slang
or idiom. All of these have to be taken into consideration while
practising conversation in class. Without these, our spoken language
would sound bookish and unnatural. To avoid this, it is essential to
introduce and practise ―real‖ communication with our students
within the learning process. If it is neglected, it may be a reason why
students are often shocked and disappointed when using a foreign
language for the first time whilst interacting in foreign environment.
They have not been prepared for spontaneous communication and
could not cope with all of its simultaneous demands.

Idiomatic Expression
Dixon says that Idiomatic expressions have long played an important
role in the English language. In fact, the use of idioms is so
widespread that an understanding of these expressions is essential to
successful communication, whether in listening, speaking, reading, or
writing
6 Research Approach This research is a descriptive-qualitative research, which means it is
and Design intended to find out the descriptive outcome of the collected data and
the interpretation of which as the conclusion. According to Arikunto,
the data are the result of documenting a certain activity by a
researcher through observing, interviewing, experimenting, and
testing. The data of this research were collected from the seventh
grade students of SMP Negeri 87 Jakarta.

In the previous study, the writer should show the differences of the
existing relevant studies (it is better for you if you mention their
focus), and then the focus of your study.

8 Research Setting This research take place at SMP Negeri 87 Jakarta the location is at
Kebayoran Lama Sub-district. The study is conducted from May 12 –
18, 2014
9 Data and Source of Source of this matrix is from Gadis Rizky Kurnia of Departement of
Data English Education of Tarbiyah and Teachers Training Syarif
Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta 2016

FROM BU TINTIN
Data: words, phrases derived from the students’ speaking

Source of Data:
1.Secondary data; students’ previous performances in speaking,
diary class in speaking
2.Primary data; giving pretest and posttest, doing observation.

10 Research Creswell points out that data collection procedure in qualitative

Instrument research involves four basic types: observations, interviews,
documents, and visual images.37 According to Arikunto, there are
four methods of collecting data commonly used in a research. They
are a test, questionnaire, interview, and observation.38 Observation
and questionnaire are chosen as the writer‘s instruments of data
collection
11 Data Collection As stated above, the instruments of the research are observation and
questionnaire. Therefore, the writer applis the following steps:
a. Observation
1. An assignment of 10 basic two-word verbs is given to the all
respondents to be memorized, then put them into simple sentences,
and finally put them into daily-activity paragraph. The idiomatic
expressions are taken from Essential Idioms in English by Robert J.
Dixson for elementary level.
2. All respondents are to state the memorized words and put them
simple sentences and paragraph at the appointed time of observation.
3. The result of above instruction is then put into the table of score
history.

Questionnaire
1. A questionnaire consists of 10 multiple-choice question items will
be distributed among the correspondents to answer. The purpose is to
know how many respondents understand or know the basic two-word
verb idiomatic expressions.
 2. The answer was compiled and converted to percentage of how
many respondents are very good, good, fair, and poor.
3. The result of which was put into percentage
12 Data Analysis The findings clearly denote a few students out of thirty-six (36) who
took part in as respondents excel others in their learning of the basic
two-word idiomatic expressions. They are much better than others. A
few students (of the fair category) are also inferior to others, even
though not that significant. It can be said there is a only a small gap
among those who stay in scale 4 and those who stay in scale 2. This
means this difference or variance is not very significant. The above
condition is still conducive to a much better achievement. It is a kind
of a challenging condition whenever in a group there are only quite a
number of who are excellent, a great number of who are very good,
and only a few who are in between. Finally, the conclusion of the
findings is:
1. The Students‘ ability of Using Idiomatic Expression in Speaking
Skills in the academic year of 2014/2015 can be put into the
following achievement:
a. Very Good. Five or 13.89% respondents (students) come into the
very good category. These respondents can express themselves using
the basic two-word idiomatic expressions in their speech quite
clearly.
b. Good. 28 or 77.78% respondents come into the good category.
These respondents have a bit problem in formulating their English
communication using the basic two-word idiomatic expressions. c.
Fair. Three or 8.33% respondents come into the fair category.
Respondents with this category express or use less the basic twoword
idiomatic expressions in their speech compared to the other groups.
