Abstract


Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk menyelidiki apakah perbedaan tipe-tipe pra- tugas (repetisi dan perencanaan strategi) menghasilkan kinerja berbicara siswa yang berbeda di dalam CAF. Peniliaian berulang terhadap satu grup digunakan di dalam penelitian ini.  Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah 30 mahasiswa IAIN Raden Intan Lampung. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan secara statistik dari kinerja berbicara siswa di dalam CAF diantara dua jenis pra- tugas dengan level signifikan kurang dari 0.05. Yaitu tugas repetisi menghasilkan lebih komplek dan lancar di dalam produksi lisan daripada tugas perencanaan strategi. Sebaliknya, tugas perencanaan strategi  menghasilkan lebih ketelitian di dalam ucapan-ucapan siswa daripada tugas repetisi. Hasil penelitian ini menyarankan bahwa tugas repetisi memfasilitasi siswa untuk meningkatkan kekompleksitasan  dan  kelancaran  ucapan  menjadi  lebih  baik  lagi.  Kemudian, tugas perencanaan strategi mengarahkan siswa untuk lebih memperhatikan ketelitian di dalam memproduksi bahasa.

The objective of the research was to investigate whether the different types of pre- tasks (rehearsal and strategic planning tasks) result in different students’ speaking performances in terms of CAF. One group repeated measure was used in this study. The subjects of the research were 30 students of IAIN Raden Intan Lampung. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference of the students’ speaking performances in terms of CAF between two types of the pre-tasks with the significant level less than 0.05. That is, the rehearsal task generated more complex and fluent oral production than the strategic planning task. On the other hand, the strategic planning task produced more accurate in the students’ utterances than the rehearsal task. This suggests that the rehearsal task facilitates the students to improve better complex and fluent utterances. Then, the strategic planning task leads the students to pay more accurate language production.

Keywords: Accuracy, complexity, fluency, rehearsal task, speaking skills, strategic planning task.
