In learning English, students should master the four- language
skills. There are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Speaking is important
skill which the students should master it well. The aim of speaking lesson is to make the students be
able to communicate with other persons using English. Based on the interviews with English teacher, the
researcher founds the problem. They are, the students still the lowest score in
English based on the students’ score, the students had less motivation in
teaching and learning process so the most of them dislike to learn English, and
also the teaching and learning process tend only to use conventional method
especially to speaking.
Based on the problems above, the writer conducts a research by
using Mind Mapping technique to improve the speaking ability of the seventh grade students at
SMP Negeri 3 Kedungwaru Tulungagung in the academic year 2011/ 2012. And the statement of the
problem are “ how can mind mapping technique improve the students’ speaking
ability of the seventh grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Kedungwaru ?”. The objective of this research was to find out how Mind Mapping technique can
improve the students’ speaking ability.
In the pre- research, the writer found out that the
students rarely speak in English. The students had not actively been involved in speaking practice, so they were not
interested in speaking using the target language. The writer focuses on how to
increase their speaking habit.
In order to solve the problem, the researcher uses Mind
Mapping technique in teaching and learning process. The research
design used in this study was Classroom Action Research. The researcher decided the criteria of success in this
study, which should be at last 75% of the students in the class get the grade
higher than the passing grade. The passing grade of SMP Negeri 3 Kedungwaru is
70. The instruments of the research were observation
sheet, and questionnaire sheet. The data were collected by using unguided
observation, interview, and questionnaire check list. The indicators of the observation were
materials, teaching techniques, and teaching learning process.
From the analysis of the data, the English teacher of SMP Negeri 3 Kedungwaru Tulungagung
applied KTSP Curriculum. The researcher did the Classroom Action Research in two cycles. In the first
cycle, the researcher used still pictures maps in teaching speaking using Mind Mapping technique. The researcher asked the
students to demonstrate the speaking activity which talk about the picture
together with their groups in front of the class. In the second cycle, the researcher used a revised
teaching techniques and strategies by using Mini pictures of mind mapping. Beside that, the researcher gives some example of
vocabulary and pronunciation to them. The researcher motivated the
students’ habit in speaking English by asking them to discuss and present about the mind mapping using mini pictures among their classmates. The researcher controlled the students during the
learning process. The students were motivated to speak English and developed
their ideas creatively.
The result of the action research Cycle I and Cycle II showed that
the students speaking ability had improved through the implementation of mind mapping. If it
compared to the result of the speaking preliminary-test, it is clearly that the scores Cycle
I and Cycle II were higher than the preliminary-test. On prelimanry test,there were 21 students who passed the test, it means
that only 53.84% from the whole class. On the first cycle, there were 26
students who passed the test, it means that 66.66% the students were able to
speak well. Then the second cycle there were 30 students who passed test, it
means that 76.92% of the students were able to speak successfuly. It indicated that the implementation of mind mapping technique at seventh grade was
successful.
Based on the result of the data, the researcher gave some suggestions for teacher and other
researchers who planning to make mind
mapping for teaching speaking to creare more creative strategy. The teacher and other researcher can be used mind mapping for
references in teaching speaking and for students can make easy to understand
material and give motivation for them.
