THE EFFORTS TO IMPROVE ABILITY TO SPEAK ENGLISH KWL AND ENGINEERING THROUGH LANGUAGE GAME English lessons in junior

high school serve as a means of self-development of students in science, technology and art. After completing his studies, they are expected to grow and develop into individuals who are intelligent, skilled and personable and ready to play a role in national development (GBPP 1994). Discuss the teaching of English in junior high that covers all four language skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing. All were supported by elements of other languages, namely: Vocabulary, Grammar and Pronunciation in accordance with the theme as a means of goal achievement. Of the four language skills above, learning conversational skills were less able to function properly. Students have not been able to communicate in English, although very simple. On the other hand, the 1994 junior high school curriculum suggests that students who have completed secondary level education should be able to convey ideas, opinions, or response to a problem in simple English. Third grade students in the group environment SLTPN 2 shadow for example, after studying English for two years have not been able to also use English to communicate even in a simple form. Even more tragically, lately come to hate the tendency for students learning English because they assume that English lessons a boring and scary. One attempt to tackle these problems, the teachers in group 2 shadow SLTPN agreed to the Classroom Action Research was conducted on third graders, under the title "Attempts to Improve English Speaking Ability Students in Class III SLTPN 2 shadow Through the KWL technique and Language games ". This study aims to enable students to be able to use English for simple things, such as: 1. Asked, 2. Answering questions, whether submitted by the teacher or by classmates, 3. Do not feel embarrassed to speak in English. Speaking skills is the ability to express opinions or thoughts and feelings to a person or group verbally, either face or by distance. Moris in Novia (2002) states that speaking is a natural means of communication between members of the public to express their thoughts and as a form of social behavior. Meanwhile, in Maulida Wilkin (2001) states that the purpose of teaching the English language today is to speak. Furthermore Wilkin in Oktarina (2002) states that the skill is the ability to speak up sentences because the communication takes place through the sentences to show the difference of behavior that varies from different communities. One thing that can improve students 'ability to speak spontaneously, by exploring

students' knowledge about the subject being taught. KWL technique can be used for such purposes. KWL stands for Know (the unknown), What to Know (who want to know), and Learned (that was obtained). Ogle (1989) states that the KWL format is a great way to help students actively participate in talking about what they are studying within the scope of the theme. Any teaching, teachers share the paper with KWL format or write on the board, as Table 1. TABLE 1 K (Know) W (What to know) L (Learning)

In the process of learning, the teacher gives a topic, then orally asked students what they know about a given topic. All students' answers are written in column K. The next question is what they wanted to learn about the topic and all answers are written in column W. Then students are asked to read material that is intended for the day. Then dig teacher about what they have learned and write it in column L. Teaching methods through the KWL technique will be more effective and learning atmosphere will be more enjoyable if followed by the language game. This language game should match the theme of the scope and level of students. Wright and Backy (1984) says that language games can help and motivate students and engage them in talking and working. Language game is believed to lead to a situation where the language is useful and meaningful. Language games that can be used herein include ro / ep / a /, word guessing, chaind words, and others. Based on the above, the hypothesis of action of this research is as follows: Learning English using the KWL technique and language games can increase the ability to speak.
