can use English actively and also passively. Setiyadi (2006: 21) states that
Speaking is the productive skill in the oral mode. It likes the other skills, is more
complicated that it seems at first and involves more than pronouncing words.But
in reality, there are so many students are not able to speak English well.
Commonly, they only have capability in grammar, reading or writing. It is because
English is not spoken in society, so the accuracy and fluency to speak English is
difficult for the students. However, students speaking ability is very low, evident
the result of the data from tenth A Grade of MA Nurul Ulum Munjungan in
speaking ability shown that there are 25 students from 36 that got level elementary
in toefl practice, it means that their score in <150 points.
The effect above is caused by some factors. The first is because the
students of the class are talk active, second, the teacher is not giving enough time
for student to think they only drilling students with theoretical of the materials,
and then teacher used traditional methode in teaching learning process, they teach
based on the text book only without any interaction and use modern technique.
So, the teacher as a model and the student is as a listener. By this technique it is
surely make the student lazy to be more lazier. Even less to speaking.
Improving students 'ability in mastering the English teachers have to think
how to make students' mastery of the English for their own purposes. There are so
many approaches, methods and techniques that can be used by teachers. The
researcher as a collaborator help the teacher by offers strategies for teaching
speaking. One of the techniques used by teachers to improve students' skills in
English is a game. Through the game there are so many advantages for students
and teachers in learning. Students may be more motivated and challenged. Games
provide language practice in the various skills of speaking, listening, writing and
reading. This game also encourages students to interact and communicate.
This study examined students master speaking through games because the
game has been shown to have advantages and effectiveness in learning speaking
in a variety of ways. Kim, (1995:35) Say that there are many advantages of using
games in the classroom: Games are a welcome break from the usual routine of the
language class. Games provide language practice in the various skills- speaking,
writing, listening and reading. They encourage students to interact and
communicate. They create a meaningful context for language use.
One of the goals of teaching speaking is to improve the students were able
to speak English in their environment, so the teacher can use a guessing game as a
technique to make students more active. Guessing Game is an interesting strategy
in teaching English speaking, an English teacher is able to develop students
speaking. Guessing Game is a game of learning where teachers divide students
into pairs in which the students are to guess some kind of information, such as a
word, a phrase, a title, or the location of an object without actually divulging it in
text or spoken word.
Based on the explanation above, the writer is interested in conducting a
research in the form of Classroom Action Research entitled Improving the Tenth
A Grade Students Ability in Speaking through Guessing Game at MA Nurul
Ulum Munjungan in the 2015/2016 Academic Year.

the proposed solution and the criteria of success. Next, the researcher prepared
everything needed to conduct the research such as the instructional material,
strategy, media and the instrument used to collect and analyze the data. Based on
the result of preliminary study, the writer or the researcher tries to improving
students speaking ability by using guessing game.
a. Providing a suitable strategy
In the first meeting the students will know how to play, the definition and
rule of guessing game.
b. Designing a Lesson Plan
The Lesson Plan was arranged and developed based on the syllabus in the
first semester of tenth class. The lesson plan consisted of (a) Course Identity, (b)
Standard Competence, (c) Basic Competence, (d) Indicators, (e) Learning
Objective, (f)Learning Material, (g) Approach and Techniques, (h)Teachinglearning process and, (i) Assessment.
c. Preparing the Criteria of Success
The criteria of success was set to determine whether the learning activities
in the research were successful of not, the students are classified into success or
pass examination when their score at 65 as the lowest grade score on English
subject at MA Nurul Ulum Munjungan, Trenggalek.
Based on the curriculum of school, the students are considered having
mastered one subject if their mastering is 65% or it can be said that the indicator
of success is >65 in the students score. Among the whole member of the tenth A
students who are taken as the subject of the research, there are 36 students in
11

indicated by the students mean scores obtained from the speaking post test given,
two types of data were employed. The first set data is qualitative data. It concern
with the teachers and the students activities done in class during the teaching
speaking by using guessing game. The second set of data as quantitative
data of the study was related to the result of the students speaking ability test
administered at the end of each cycle. They were used to evaluate the students
improvement in speaking ability.
b. Instruments and Technique of Data Collection
There were some ways done by the researcher in collecting data. The data
were from collection of the speaking test, observation sheet, and filed note
1. Speaking test
According to Ary (2010: 201) test is a set of stimuli presented to an individual in
order to chief responses on the basis which a numeral score can be assigned.
Based on a representative sample of the individuals behavior the score is an
indicator of the extent to which the examinee possesses the characteristic being
measured.
2. Observation sheet
Observation sheet is assists educators to gather information about how
their teaching is viewed by others in school. In the research, the researcher uses
the instruments to see and to note the real activities proceeded in the classroom.
The researcher use observation sheet concerned with two kinds of sheet, a
teachers observation sheet and a students observation sheet that use by the
researcher during the observation of the teaching and learning process in each
cycle done by the collaboration teacher.

3. Field Note
Field notes is method of data collection by making written records on
whatever happens in the field. Field notes refer to transcribed notes account
derived from data collected during observation and interviews. The filed notes
were used to collect the data during the teaching and learning process in every
cycle which was not included in the observation sheets. This study, the activity of
taking notes was done by the collaborator teacher.
3.3.5 Reflecting
On the basis of the result of data analysis, the researchers evaluated the
model of paper work assessment procedure, the students paper work which
consists of sample of the work and students response to this implementation of
student paper work. In this sense, the researcher tried to critics the strength and
weakness of these procedure in implementing method.
This activity was done at the end of each cycle to evaluate whether or not
effect of the action met the criteria of success. So, the data taken from the result of
the students post test is analyzed past to know whether the criteria of success has
been achieved or not hence, the formula used in findings.
