Abstract


Artikel ini berfokus pada hasil penelitian yang mencoba untuk menganalisis kecemasan berbicara siswa terhadap keterampilan berbicara mereka. Metode penelitian adalah quasi-experimental design dengan two way ANOVA. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa skor keterampilan berbicara yang diajarkan menggunakan diskusi secara signifikan berbeda dari skor keterampilan berbicara yang diajarkan menggunakan permainan peran untuk siswa yang memiliki kecemasan berbicara rendah tetapi penerapan teknik ini sama untuk mengajar berbicara kepada siswa yang memiliki kecemasan berbicara yang tinggi; Namun, berdasarkan hasil ANOVA, skor siswa yang memiliki kecemasan berbicara yang tinggi dalam keterampilan berbicara yang diajarkan menggunakan permainan peran masih lebih baik dari pada mereka yang berada di kelas diskusi. Artinya, ada interaksi antara teknik mengajar dan kecemasan berbicara siswa terhadap keterampilan berbicara siswa.

This article focuses on the results of the study attempting 1) to find out the significance difference on students’ speaking skill between those who are in discussion and role play technique 2) to find out the significance difference on students’ speaking skill between high and low anxiety . Research method was quasi-experimental design with two way ANOVA. Based on the research findings, it is known that the score of speaking skill taught using  discussion is significantly different from the score of speaking skill taught using role-play to the students having low speaking anxiety but the implementation of the technique is equal for teaching speaking to the students having high speaking anxiety; however, based on the result of ANOVA, the score of students having high speaking anxiety in speaking skill taught using  role-play is still better than those who are in discussion class. It means that, there is an interaction between teaching technique and students’ speaking anxiety on the students’ speaking skill.

Keywords: Anxiety, Speaking Skill, Teaching Speaking, Discussion Technique, Role-Play Technique.
