Abstract


Tujuan penelitian ini adalah (1) menemukan perbedaan prestasi berbicara antara siswa ekstrovert and introvert yang diajar melalui teknik role-play, dan (2) mengetahui tanggapan siswa terhadap teknik role-play. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes berbicara dan kuesioner, dan dihitung dengan menggunakan SPSS 16.0. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa skor rata-rata dari kelompok introvert pada pretest dan posttest mengalami kenaikan dari 60.7368 menjadi 63.4737. Sementara itu skor rata-rata dari kelompok ekstrovert pada pretest dan posttest mengalami kenaikan dari 57.6 menjadi 62.4. T-value lebih rendah daripada t-table ( 1.210<2.042 ). Ini berarti bahwa tidak ada perbedaan signifikan dari prestasi berbicara antara siswa ekstrovert dan introvert yang diajar melalui teknik role-play. Kelemahan penguasaan bahasa Inggris siswa dan jenis tugas yang diberikan adalah penyebab mengapa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan.

The purposes of the research were: (1) to find out the difference of speaking achievement between extrovert and introvert students who are taught through role-play technique, (2) to find out the students’ responses toward role-play technique. The data were collected by using speaking test and questionnaire, and were computed by using SPSS 16.0. The results showed that the mean score of the introvert group in the pretest and posttest was gained from 60.7368 to 63.4737. Meanwhile the mean score of the extrovert group in the pretest and posttest was gained from 57.6 to 62.4. T-value was lower than the t-table (1.210<2.042). It means that there was no significant difference of the speaking achievement between extrovert and introvert students who were taught through role-play technique. The debility of the students’ English mastery and the type of the task were the causes why there is no significant difference between introvert and extrovert students’ speaking achievement in performing role-play in this research.

Keywords: extrovert and introvert, role play, speaking achievement.
