Picture Series & Speaking Ability. INTRODUCTION As one of the basic skill of English, speaking had an important role in language learning process. Speaking was an expression of human being through conversation. Brown . states that speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves Without speaking, how could we expressed our ideas to other people and made the other people understand with what we say to them. From the statement it could be known that speaking played important role in Someone cannot express their idea when they had not speaking ability. They got confuse each other without speaking ability. If someone wanted to express what on their mind or they wanted to give an information to other, absolutely they needed to speak. Because speaking was important way to share By speaking people could understand what their interlocutors mean. Based on observation that the researcher did on April 18 2019 at SMK Pemuda Taruna Bojonegoro, the researcher found data that the students had difficulties in developing ideas that they want to speak. They got difficulties in recalling imagination about something that they wanted to say. The studentsAo speaking skills were relatively low. They had difficulty in expressing ideas and opinions orally as they worked afraid of making mistakes and not confidence to speak English. The researcher tried to apply the technique in teaching speaking English to overcome the studentsAo problem, namely picture series. According to Smaldino in Ahmad Ibnu Fahrizal . The first benefit of using picture series is that it will make the students interested in speaking English because picture series is one of the visual teaching media. Wright in Luki Nugroho . states that pictures are very important in helping students to retell expreriences or understand something a.

Using picture series as media teaching can helped the students to elaborate their ideas. One picture could stimulate students to create introductory sentences and other helped the students to create the supporting sentences. There are some advantages of picture series, acording to Raimes . 3:27-. picture is a valuable resource as it provides a share experience in the classroom, a need for common language forms to use in the classroom, a variety of task, and focus of interest for students. Furthermore, illustration, develop learnersAo imagination, make the learning process more interesting and Pekovy . State that pictures are ideal for reflecting the reality. Especially photographs are an authentic source, which truly illustrates a situation or an event, portrait a person, etc. Pictures draw learnersAo attention, whether in books or while listening to a lecture. Texts accompany by pictures are more attractive for learners than plain texts. Similarly, lectures become more interesting when displaying some pictures. Pictures offer various opportunities of activities, especially based on practicing all four language skills, and have an entertaining element which can be exploit by various games. From the explanation above, it could be assumed that the role of picture series was really essential in teaching English. It could be said then, the role of using picture series was quite appropriate in teaching speaking. RESEARCH METHOD This research used experimental research. According to Ary . 6 : . state that experimental research design was to enable researcher to estimate the effect of an experimental treatment. Experimental research could be done in the laboratory, in the class and in the field. In this study, the experimental research was done in the class with taking students as population. A researcher chose the design to determine the validity of conclusions could be drawn from the study. The researcher applied quasi-experimental design. This design involved two classes of same level. One class taught by using picture series and another one was provided without using picture series. the end of treatment, the experimental class and the control class would received a post test, and the result of two test ( pre and post tes. would be compare to find the significant difference between the experimental and control class.

According to Sugiyono . , total sampling is technique sampling where total of sample same with In SMK Pemuda Taruna Ngraseh there are 30 students as same level at the eleventh grade. The researcher took eleventh grade as a sample. Because of the students in eleventh grade only two classes ( 11 A class there are 18 students and 11 B class there are 12 student. so, the researcher use total sampling For this research the researcher choose only two classes because the population were homogenous, that was 11-A there were 18 students as experiment class and 11-B there were 12 students as control class. The instrument of this research are tests. According to Ary . test is a set of the stimuli presented to an individual in older to elicit responses on the basis of which a numerical score could be assigned. The test from the researcher was to know the achievement of students. The researcher made English test for students that consist of eight The researcher used oral speaking test to measure studentsAo speaking ability. The students gave a sequence pictures as the test. The test involves pre-test and post-test. The equipments for this research that used are question sheets that contain 8 pictures about narrative text. The researcher used oral a. http://stp-mataram. e-journal. id/JHI P-ISSN: 2088-4834 E-ISSN : 2685-5534 Vol. 7 No. 2 Desember 2018 Hospitality 21 a. speaking test to measure the studentsAo speaking mastery in order to obtain the empirical data. Therefore, the researcher was prepared 8 pictures and every picture has 4-8 picture sequence in a series. The way the researcher improves the studentsAo speaking skill was treatment through picture series. After giving the Pre-test, the researcher was conducted the treatment through picture series. it was used in experimental class only, while in the control class was not. The treatment was given for at four meetings. Calculating the four components of students ability of using speaking by using SPSS 22. Classifying the score of the students pretest and post-test. The data by referring to the scoring the classification of score according to Jacobs in Adi Isma . Level Score Classification 86Very Good Good Fair Poor O40 Very Poor Computing the frequency and the rate percentage of the students score by using SPSS 22. Calculating the mean score of the students achievement by using SPSS 22. Calculating the standard deviation of students pre-test and post-test both of experimental and control group by using SPPS 22. Finding the significant difference between the score of pre-test and post test both experimental and control group by using SPSS 22. Calculating reliability and validity of the students pre-test and post test both of experimental and control group by using SPSS 22. The data were collected from the pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given before the treatment and post-test after the treatment. The pre-test was conducted to find out the data of the studentsAo level mastery in mastering English speaking before the treatment was given. Pre-test Classificati Score Experimental Freq.

Using SPSS 22 the result t count was 12. 852, it meant t count > t table, so H0 was rejected while H1 was accepted. Levene's Test Equality Variances F Sig. t-test for Equality of Means Sig. Mean Std. Error . - Difference Difference Confidence Interval of Difference Lower Upper Total In this research, hypothesis testing used T-test to see there were a significant difference between the means of experimental group and control group. The t result compared with ttable to determine if it significant. The researcher used independent T-test to compare experimental group and control group as difference subjects. Table of independent sample test presented value of sig. -taile. It meant H0 was rejected while H1 was It was able to be concluded that there were differences between mean score of experiment group and mean score of control So, applying Index picture series had an effect toward studentsAo speaking ability. From the table above also presented value of mean difference was 17. This value showed difference between mean score of experiment group and mean score of control group. And the difference was 14. 407 until 19. Confidence Interval of the Difference Lower Uppe. The researcher also comparing t-count with t table to know it was significant. From the table above were determined t-count was 852 and degree of freedom . These values were used as the basic of reference in finding the value of t table of statistical table. Based on t table, df 28 was 1. Criteria for Score Equal Equal 1,334 14,407 19,871 1,345 14,356 19,922 According to Wright in Luki Nugroho . states that pictures are very important in helping students to retell expreriences or understand something since they can represent place, object, people, etc. Based on the researcher experiment this theory was appropriate with the students condition in eleventh grade SMKPemuda Taruna. They could speak more when use picture series than without picture series. Picture series could stimulate students inspiration to tell a story. They were more talkative. The students score was improved after given the treatment used picture series, it can be seen from their post test It was so different, the students pre test score was very low, and the students post test score there are improvement, especially in experiment class that got picture series treatment. The use of media in teaching and learning process was very important. The teacher should choose one kinds of picture series media in teaching and learning English especially to improve students speaking skills. The media could help the teacher to teach and made the students more enjoy in teaching and learning One of media that was easy and interesting to apply in teaching speaking was a. http://stp-mataram. e-journal. id/JHI P-ISSN: 2088-4834 E-ISSN : 2685-5534 Vol. 7 No. 2 Desember 2018 Hospitality 23 a. picture series.
