Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui i) bagaimana implementasi pendekatan saintifik dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa dan ii) apakah gaya belajar siswa mempengaruhi kemampuan siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain pre-experimental. Sasaran penelitian sebanyak 28 siswa kelas XI di SMAN 1 Pringsewu. Kuesioner dan tes berbicara digunakan sebagai alat untuk pengambilan data. Implementasi pendekatan saintifik dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa karena siswa aktif berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan belajar mengajar serta berlatih melalui pengulangan. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan adanya peningkatan kemampuan berbicara siswa yang signifikan dengan tingkat signifikansi 0.05 setelah pengimplementasian pendekatan saintifik. Gaya belajar siswa juga terbukti berpengaruh terhadap nilai kemampuan berbicara siswa. Hal ini menandakan bahwa dengan pengaplikasian prosedur yang tepat, pendekatan saintifik dapat diimplementasikan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris siswa. Hasil juga membuktikan bahwa faktor internal seperti gaya belajar juga berpengaruh akan suksesnya siswa dalam belajar berbahasa.
The objectives of this study were to find out i) the effect of implementation of scientific approach on students speaking achievement and ii) whether students learning style preferences affect the students speaking capability. The research used pre-experimental design. The subjects were 28 second year science class students of SMAN 1 Pringsewu. Questionnaires were employed to collect the data of the students learning style preferences and speaking tests were conducted to identify students speaking achievement. The implementation of scientific approach could improve the students speaking skill since the students actively participated in the learning process by speaking through drills and repetitions in meaningful context. This is confirmed by a significant improvement of the students speaking achievement with significant level 0.05. Students learning style preferences also affected their speaking ability. The results suggest that scientific approach facilitates the students to improve their English proficiency. In addition, learning style preferences also contributed to the students success in acquiring language.
