CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of Study
English has played a major role in many aspects of people’s lives Worldwide. As a tool of
international communication in the globalized world, English speaking seems to be considered
as the most important skills among the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and
writing) because people who use a language are usually referred as speakers of that language
(Rao, 2019). Considering this, the age of compulsory English learning has been lowered in
many countries around the globe as starting learning English as a foreign language before the
age of 12 years old, known as the critical period, is widely believed to help EFL learners become
more proficient speakers of English (Shin, 2006).
Speaking skill is an important aspect to acquire when learning a second or foreign language,
and the success of learning the language is measured from the performance of learners to speak
the language learned (Dea, Rahayu & Wardah ; 2015). The importance of speaking skills hence
is enormous for the learners of any language. For a smooth running of any system, the speakers
of a language need to be especially and purposefully trained in the skill of speaking. In order
to become a well rounded communicator one needs to be proficient in each of the four language
skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, but the ability to speak skillfully, provides the
speaker with several distinct advantages. The joy of sharing ideas with others is immense
(Kadamovna, 2021).
Unfortunately, in the real condition, it is still difficult for Indonesian students to practice their
English ability in daily conversation even though they have been studying English for ten years
in formal junior high school, senior high school and university due to they might get a good
score of English in their report card but they cannot speak English fluently yet (Musthafa,
2001). It is the fact that many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers complain about
their speaking classes in which a considerable number of students are not responding actively
in speaking exercises (Abadi, 2015).
In the 8th grade of MTs Huffadh Al Itqoniyyah Bobotsari, where the researcher will conduct
research, she encountered a similiar problem in English speaking. Based on observation, the
researcher interviewed an 8th grade English teacher and obtained information that students
when in class they tend to be passive. This is because they lack mastery of English vocabulary,
then they are afraid when appointed by the teacher to practice, and they are also lazy to bring a
dictionary to school. Some of these factors led to inactivity during the English learning process
for the 8th grade at MTs Huffadh Al Itqoniyyah, Bobotsari. To deal with there problems, the
present research aims at improving the students’ speaking skill by using hypnoteaching method.
Hypnosis is a method of boring your conscious mind so that it relaxes and stops thinking, much
the same as when you go to bed at night just before you actually slip into sleep (William, 2012).
Students need to relax after thinking about knowledge because every human has timing about
concentration. It makes the brain and emotion ready about knowledge and then students can
accept teaching leaning. The term “hypnoteaching” combines the words “hypno” with
“teaching.” teaching and hypnosis both refer to the exchange of information and experience.
Hajar (2012) asserts that hypnoteaching is a form of communication that involves making
recommendations in order to make students wiser. Hypnoteaching, according to Jaya (2010), is
instruction that appeals to both the conscious and subconscious minds. It facilitates the
acceptance of proposals by students by using the subconscious mind. Due to their enthusiasm
and fascination with the teacher’s suggestion phrases, children find it easier to learn the subject
matter. In other words, hypnotizing pupils is one of the teaching techniques that involves
processing knowledge to be delivered into the subconscious mind to be stored and used as
needed for students to boost motivation and concentrate. Hypnoteaching is considered suitable
for this study because it combines hypnosis, communication, psychology, and related teaching
methods in the classroom. In a nutshell, hypnoteaching explores students’ subconscious so that
they become focused before continuing learning activities (Yustisia, 2012).
Previously, several studies have examined the use of hypnoteaching methods in improving
speaking skills in English language learning. Research by (Lestari & Syarif, 2020) shows that
the hypnoteaching method is effective in increasing the confidence and speaking fluency of
students of English as a second language. Another study by (Rasmadila, 2019) showed that
hypnoteaching can improve young learners’ achievements in speaking English. Also from
(Syahfutra, 2021) showed that hypnoteaching improve and influence students’ achievement and
students’ active. However, there is still a lack of information in the form of direct comparisons
between hypnoteaching and other teaching methods. This study will compare the effectiveness
of hypnoteaching with conventional teaching methods in improving students' English language
skills, considering factors like student satisfaction with the learning methods and learning
outcomes. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable guidance for educators
and educational institutions in enhancing students' English language proficiency through
instruction.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher tries to find out the effect of hypnoteaching
method on students speaking skill at 8th- grade in MTs Huffadh Al Itqoniyyah, Bobotsari. The
results of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the potential of
hypnoteaching as an innovative learning method in improving students’ speaking ability. Then
from the explanation above, the research conducted research entitled “The Effect of
Hypnoteaching Method on Students Speaking Skill at 8th- Grade in MTs Huffadh Al
Itqoniyyah Bobotsari, Purbalingga”.

CHAPTER II
LITERATURE RIVIEW
C. Hypnoteaching Method
1. Definition of Hypnoteaching
Literally, the words "hypnoteaching" come from "hypnosis" and "teaching," according
Hajar (2011). The state of relaxation, concentration, or hypnosis is characterized by a
significant increase in the activity of the human senses. Teaching continues in the interim.
People can easily and accurately absorb information without feeling anxious when they are
hypnotized. For the best possible learning outcomes, this hypnosis condition can therefore
be used in the teaching and learning process.
Hypnosis as a science has been applied to many facets of life, including psychology,
education, entertainment, and health. We are aware of hypnoteaching in the context of
education. Hypnoteaching, according to Yustisia (2012), is a type of instruction that
combines conscious and subconscious mind activation. Hypnoteaching is an innovative,
creative, and imaginative method of learning that makes use of the science of hypnosis.
Meanwhile, according to Hajar (2011), hypnoteaching is the art of teachers communicating
with students by making suggestions in order to produce intelligent students. Students can
focus on a particular situation when suggestions are provided. It is advantageous for
students to be able to absorb and retain information that teachers convey to them in any
format.
In conclusion, hypnoteaching is a method that combines hypnosis and teaching, aiming
to enhance learning outcomes by engaging both conscious and subconscious mind
activation. Advocates argue that it fosters a state of relaxation, concentration, and
heightened sensory activity, allowing students to absorb information effectively without
anxiety.
2. Principle of Hypnoteaching
There are several principle in hypnoteaching method:
a. Emphathetic attitude.
A teacher must have sympathy and empathy for the kids in order to function as an
educator, not merely a teacher. Teachers that care about their students will definitely try
to find a way to help those who are in need. Additionally, he was adamant about helping
their students progress.
b. Commiseration
Students will definitely sympathize with their teachers when they see them as having
empathy. Students will surely be shy and respectful of their teachers when they receive
good teaching, even if the students are exceedingly mischievous.
c. The Use of Language
Excellent teachers should be able to hear well and use language that is easy on the
ears. They should also be able to control their emotions and avoid becoming easily
agitated. Finally, they should value the work, potential, and abilities of their students
and dislike being patronizing, demeaning, or marginalizing them by using language that
is not appropriate.
d. Props for the kinesthetic
Learning to express oneself or take away the props is a step in the hypnosis learning
process. If required, the entire limb is relocated. Expression, hands, feet, and exploration
reached their most and best potential. What is more striking is when educators use body
language to illustrate how something is cultivated.
e. Motivating students with stories
Sharing success stories with students to inspire them. The application of
hypnoteaching success stories is one factor. The study of stories involves the application
of imagination. Therefore, it would be wonderful if a teacher also frequently shared a
tale or a third-person account that related to the lesson's theme.
f. Mastering the students hearts
Teachers must have the power to control students' hearts so that their minds can
follow. Moreover, teachers who observe this phenomenon can also surmise why most
students who experience academic difficulties often lie to their teachers-including
guidance counselors (Noer, 2010).
3. Steps of Hypnoteaching
According to Hajar (2001: 21), there are seven steps that an educator must take in order
to accomplish learning objectives. These steps are as follows:
a. Recognizing students' needs , before the learning process is involved, identifying the
needs of the students is a crucial first step. determining what kinds of learning are
engaging for the students in order to meet their needs and inspire them to learn; Link
hypnotic media, including text, motion, sound, images, and symbols, to facilitate
learning.
b. Commence instruction in accordance with the prepared lesson plans.
c. Students' self-esteem can be raised by using affirmations or positive self-statements as
a teaching tool. The teacher proudly shared with the class, for instance, that she kept her
own curiosity for knowledge to herself and that she would always be willing to learn
from anyone, anywhere, at any time.
d. Use visualization to help students generate ideas about the subject they are studying.
e. In order to assess, assessments are carried out to assess how instructors support engaged,
motivated, and innovative learners throughout the learning process. Moreover,
educators assess their student's comprehension of the assigned material; to consider
what transpired with students prior to the conclusion of the class. reflection of the
impression that questions from students during the course of the lesson are made.
4. Procedure of Hypnoteaching
a. Intention and Motivation
Achieving success is largely dependent on one's intention to keep trying and working
toward it. In the occupied areas, motivation and commitment will be fostered by great
intentions and determination. As an educator, particularly one who is highly motivated
and dedicated to their work, I will do everything in my power to be a role model for
students and someone they should look up to.
b. Pacing
Pacing means to equate the position, gestures, language, and brain waves with others.
In the event that this is how educators adjust to students. The idea behind this step is
that a man is more likely to gather and engage with people who share many interests
with him. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that everyone will feel at ease and
content to gather with people who share his interests. Each message that is sent from
one person to another will be accepted and understood because being in it will provide
comfort due to the similarity of brain waves.
c. Leading
After the teacher has finished pacing, learners will feel at ease in the learning
environment if they are leading or directing. Learners will gladly and voluntarily comply
with any directives issued by teachers to them. Even when faced with difficult content,
students' subconscious minds will translate the material to make understanding the
teacher seem simple.
d. Employing Positive Words
This is a step that helps with leading and pacing. The subconscious mind processes
anything that is said, whether it be positively or negatively, so educators should become
accustomed to using language that is positive and does not accept anything negative
from their students.
e. Giving Appreciation
Remembrance of teachers' rewards and punishments is an essential aspect.
Acknowledgment boosts one's sense of worth. You can learn a lot about someone's self-
concept by listening to their compliments. Although teachers may use punishment or
warnings to students for less-than-good behavior, they must exercise caution when
enforcing these measures to prevent instilling feelings of inferiority in their students or
causing them to become agitated.
f. Modeling
The process of providing a consistent model or example through speech and behavior
is known as modeling. This is a crucial element that is necessary for the effective
application of the hypnoteaching method. Teachers must also thoroughly understand the
subject matter in order to support and optimize the hypnoteaching learning method. This
can be achieved through actively including students in the learning process, delivering
contextualized content whenever possible, enabling learners to engage in collaborative
learning, and giving learners direct feedback. Not less significant, encouraging, and
constructive suggestions should be made while learning is happening (Yustia, 2012).
The aforementioned measures demonstrate that a teacher who lacks a passion for their
work and a love for their students will find it difficult to accomplish this, as
hypnoteaching is a method that calls for a stable psychic teacher in addition to physical
teachers.
5. Advantages and Disadvantages
As a method, hypnoteaching has advantages and disadvantages of its own. The advantages
include the following:
a. Students can grow in line with their potential and interests.
b. Teachers can create a dynamic learning environment to prevent students from getting
bored.
c. A varied educational approach to keep students from getting bored
d. Facilitated positive communication between educators and students,
e. The provided content can help students concentrate,
f. Easily understood content for learners to increase their motivation to learn,
g. The learning process involves a variety of skills,
There are some of the disadvantages of the hypnoteaching method:
a. Teachers find it challenging to focus on each student individually due to the large
number of students in a class,
b. For effective implementation of the hypnoteaching method, teachers must study and
practice,
c. Teachers in Indonesia have not widely adopted the hypnotoaching method, which is
still a component of the new method,
d. Lack of infrastructure and facilities in schools to enable the use of the hypnoteaching
method.

RESEARCH METHODHOLOGY
Statistic formula :
Notes:
X2 = Chi-quadrate
Oi = Observed value
Ei = Expected value
B. Homogenity Test
A homogeneity test was applied to analyze whether or not the scores of one group
have homogenous variance compared with the score of other groups. In this study,
the researcher used F-test by Setiadi (2013). The formula can be seen as follow:
𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔
F= 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔
C. Hypothesis Test
Using the t-test to test the hypothesis of this study. According to Subana et al.
(2000: 168), the t-test is used to test for differences or similarities between two
different conditions/treatments or two groups using the principle of comparing the
means of two groups/treatments which is a statistical test. There are several t-test
formulas and guidelines for using them. The data analysis method used is statistical
analysis using the t-test formula. This will help answer the questions posed in the
study and investigate the impact of hypnoteaching method on learning interest
between those who use hypnotaching method and those who do not use
hypnoteaching method.
Then, the data analysis used to test the hypothesis instatistical analysis using the
independent test formula using the formula as follows:
