Abstract


Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) dapat menjadi metode alternatif untuk mengajar kemampuan berbicara siswa. Bahasa Inggris di Indonesia adalah bahasa asing, oleh karena itu weak version sesuai untuk diterapkan di kelas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kendala siswa dalam berbicara dengan CLT dan untuk mengetahui apakah ada pengaruh yang signifikan dari penerapan weak version CLT terhadap kemampuan berbicara siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sebelum pembelajaran dengan menggunakan CLT siswa mengalami kendala, yakni tidak hanya dari aspek berbicara seperti kosa kata, tata kalimat, pengucapan, kelancaran, dan pemahaman tetapi juga berasal dari kendala lain seperti gugup, kecemasan, malu untuk melakukan kesalahan. Setelah pembelajaran menggunakan CLT, hasil statistik menunjukan bahwa terjadi peningkatan setelah pembelajaran dengan menggunakan CLT dengan hasil yang signifikan (p = 0,00<0.005). Dengan demikian, Ho ditolak dan H1 diterima.

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) can be an alternative method to teach speaking skills. Since English in Indonesia is a a foreign language, the weak version is approriate to apply in the classroom. Therefore, the objective of this research was to explorethe students’ constraints of teaching speaking through CLT and whether there is the significant effect of CLT, particularly in weak versionsof CLT on the students’ speaking achievement. The result shows that the constraints are not only from five aspects of speaking like vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension but also come from others like nervousness, anxiety, and feeling embarassed to make a mistake. The statistical data revealed that the result was significant (p = 0.00<0.005). In the other words, Ho was rejected and H1 was accepted.

Keywords: Communicative Language Teaching, constraints, speaking.
