CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
The study's goal is based on the problem stated above: “To find out The
Use of Story Telling to improve students’ speaking ability in the Second
Semester of English Education University of Kutai Kartanegara Academic
Year 2022/2023”.
There are two significances of this study, they are theoretical and practical.
Theoretically, Students will know the importance of understanding the
story.telling. They will study speaking better in this way because they did not
feel like studying; they just enjoyed their learning while retelling the story.
Practically, It can develop students' confidence, vocabulary, grammar, and
comprehension of the story.
1.6 Definition of Key-Terms
A. Pronounciation
Pronunciation is the way for students to produce clearer language
when they are speaking. It means that the student can communicate
effectively when they have good pronunciation and intonation even though
they have limited vocabulary and grammar. Pronunciation refers to the
traditional or customary utterance of words. From that statement can be
concluded that pronunciation is the way for students to produce the
utterance words clearly when they are speaking (Kline, 2001:69). English
pronunciation does not amount to mastery of a list of sounds or isolated
words. Instead, it amounts to learning and practicing the specifically
English way of making a speaker’s thoughts easy to follow (Gilbert,
2008:1).
B. Grammar
Grammar is needed for the students to arrange correct sentences in
conversation both in written and oral forms. Grammar is defined as a
systematic way of accounting for and predicting an ideal speaker’s or
hearer’s knowledge of the language. This is done by a set of rules or
principles that can be used to generate all well formed or grammatical
utterances in the language (Purpura, 2004:6). Moreover, the other
definition of grammar stated by Greenbaum and Nelson (2002:1) argue
that Grammar refers to the set of rules that allow us to combine words in
our language into larger units.
C. Vocabulary
Vocabulary is essential for successful second language use because
without an extensive vocabulary, we will be unable to use the structure and
function we may have learnt for comprehensible communicative. It can be
said that one key the success in communicative, which is the power of
words. Vocabulary means the appropriate diction or the most important
thing in a language especially in speaking; furthermore, knowing many
vocabularies we will be easier to express our ideas, feeling and thoughts
both in oral or written form. In spoken language, the vocabulary tends to
be familiar and everyday (Turk, 2003:87). It means that in spoken
language or speaking, the vocabulary used must be very familiar and it is
used in everyday conversation in order to understand the spoken discourse.
D. Fluency
Fluency is defined as the ability to speak communicatively, fluently
and accurately. Fluency usually refers to express oral language freely
without interruption. In teaching and learning process, if the teacher wants
to check students’ fluency, the teacher allows students to express
themselves freely without interruption. The aim is to help students speak
fluently and with ease. The teacher does not correct immediately whereas
the idea being that too much correction interferes with the flow of
conversation (Pollard, 2008:16).
Storytelling is an ideal teaching and learning tool, for it takes seriously the
need for students to make sense of experience, using their own culturally
generated sense-making processes. For more details, the researchers will
explain the definition of Storytelling and the advantages of Storytelling as
follows :
The writer use Classroom Action Research (CAR) in this research. CAR is
a research which is done in order to solve the problems and make improvement in
the teaching and learning process in the classroom (Husni mubarok, 2015: 62).
That is done by collecting data or information systematically through four steps:
Planning, Acting, Observing, and Reflecting.
The Classroom Action Research procedure used in this research is Kurt
Lewin's design. It consist of two cycles in which each cycle contains four phases:
Planning, Acting, Observing Reflecting.
Based on the Kurt Lewin's action research design above the writer would
like describe further concerning the implementation of Classroom Action
Research (CAR) in cycle one and cycle two by Kurt Lewin who is then further
developed by Kemmis& Taggart (Anne Burns, 2010: 9) as following :
3.2.1 Planning
In this phase, the writer design lesson plan from the syllabus which is
consulted with English teacher, creating the topics that are appropriate with
the matter, preparing materials that will be used at the cycle. The writer also
makes the evaluation form to know about students' achievements at the end of
this cycle.
3.2.2 Acting
In this phase, the writer and observer collaborates to carry out the
planned action. The writer give explanation how plays a role and give an
example from it. The writer also gives some related vocabulary items needed
when students are do a role play activity. Then, the writer gives a role card that
tells the students who He/She is, something of his background, what his
opinions about a given subject are, and possibly suggests a course of action
that he should try and carry out, and asks the students to practice in pairs or in
a group.
3.2.3 Observing
3.2.4 Reflecting
In this phase, the writer and observer identifies the problems that are
found by seeing the result of the observations which should be solved. Then
those are used to make plan for further cycle and correct it weaknesses.
