speaking strategies is conducted rarely. That is why, the writer will conduct a
research focusing on learning speaking strategies. Moreover, the present study
investigates the students of English Education Department’ effort in getting best
of their strategies for developing their speaking skills that have been unexplored
by the previous study.
Speaking is communication process between at least two people and
speaking is a way to express someone’s idea. Speaking seems to be easy to do, but
we do not only speak, we also communicate each other with people by using
language. Since English is a foreign language in Indonesia, most of the students
might feel difficult to speak English.
In speaking skill, the students often find some problems. The problem
frequently found that their first language causes them to get difficulty in using the
second language. In order to become successful in speaking, the students need
particular learning strategies. Some students are good and some they are failed. It
might be caused by the language learning strategies. Since learners have their own
characteristics, they would exploit different learning strategies that are useful and
comfortable to them.
In School of Teacher Training and Education Faculty of UNINUS,
English Education Department is a good department in UNINUS. Therefore, it is
important to conduct a research in strategies for developing speaking skill used by
students of English Education Department. Students of English Education
Department of UNINUS are as foreign language learners, their ability in
understanding English are developing. Moreover, the researcher wants to
contribute for the development of communication in English Education
Department of UNINUS by conducting research in speaking skills’ strategies. The
researcher is interested in conducting this research to know what strategies are
used by students of English Education Department of UNINUS to develop their
speaking skills.

B. Problem Statement
There are many possible reasons why students think that speaking English
is difficult to learn. In Indonesian context, According to Umamah (2008) and
Novitasari (2009) found students with higher speaking proficiency use social
strategies more frequently than students with lower speaking proficiency. The
researchers is motivated by weakness some students who do not have a strategy in
learning speaking when they are do speaking class. The weakness are the students
fell confuse when will note taking in the class, and the students fell confuse
knowing the limits of their ability to learn English. Therefore researchers
considers that it important to investigate the problem.
C. Limitation of problem
In this research, the writer focuses on the strategies for developing speaking
skill including pronunciation, vocabulary, intonation, and fluency are used by
three students of fifth semester of English Education Department of UNINUS.
CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Learning Strategy
The definition of language learning stated by Cohen (1998: 4), he defines
language learning as a process consciously selected by learners and which may
result in action taken to enhance the learning or use of a second language, through
storage, retention, recall and application of information about language. While
according Rabinowitz and Chi, in Budiarti (2012) “Strategies are complex skills,
person attempting to apply unfamiliar strategies to a demanding task will have
difficulties in controlling processing that can be anticipated from performing two
complex task simultaneously.
task will have difficulties in controlled processing that can be anticipated from
performing two complex task simultaneously“ (Rabinowitz and Chi, in Budiarti,
2012: 11).
Learning a language is not complete without learning speaking strategy.
According to Lazaraton (in Fauziati, 2010: 17). There are four numbers of
features that interact to make speaking a challenging task for foreign language
learners. 1) Fluent speech contains reduced forms, such as contractions, vowel
reduction, and elision. 2) Slang and idioms are often used in speech. 3) Learners
must acquire the stress, rhythm, and intonation of English speaking. 4) the most
difficult aspect of spoken English is that it is almost always accomplished via
interaction with at least one other speaker.
Based on the explanation above, it can be seen that learning strategy is
what learners taken in order to complete learning tasks and effective learning.
B. Language Learning Strategy in Speaking
English learning strategies are complex procedures that individuals apply
to tasks, consequently, they may be represented as procedural knowledge
which be acquired through cognitive associative and autonomous stages of
learning, (Serri, Aliakbar,Boroujeni & Hesabi, 2012) in early stages of learning
the strategies may be conscious and later be showed unconsciously. There are
some learning strategies according to expert:
1. Rubin’s Classification
According Rubin (in Fauziati, 2010: 152) to the criteria of whether
the strategy contributes directly or indirectly to learning, Rubin proposed a
classification scheme that subsumes learning strategies under two primary
groupings and a number of subgroups. She describes a typology of three
major kinds of strategies: learning, (interactive) communication, and social
strategies. Learner strategies “contribute to the development of the language
system and affect learning directly”. Language learning strategies are further
categorized in cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies, which directly affect
the development of the language system constructed by the learner. Rubin’s
cognitive strategies include: clarification/verification, guessing/inductive
8
learners when a language task is beyond their reach, to make up for their
incompetence in the target language so as to continue the communication.
Meta-cognitive strategies help learners to regulate their learning
through planning, arranging, focusing, and evaluating their own learning
process. Affective strategies enable learners to control feelings such as
confidence, motivations, and attitudes related to language learning. Social
strategies, such as asking questions and cooperation with others, facilitate
interaction with others, often in a discourse situation. Although many factors
might influence the degree to which and the way in which language learners
use specific strategies, generally speaking, they will apply all the different
strategies depending on their cultural and ethnic background, personality,
gender, proficiency, language learning purpose, cognitive style, the task at
hand, etc. And all these types of strategies are important to good language
learning.
As Oxford put it, “strategies are especially important for language
learning because they are tools for active, self-directed involvement, which is
essential for developing communicative competence.”
C. Speaking Practice
Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that
involves producing and receiving and processing information (Brown, 1994;
Burns & Joyce, 1977). Its form and meaning are dependent on the context in
which it occurs, including the participants themselves, their collective
experiences, the physical environment, and the purposes for speaking.
However, speech is not always unpredictable. Speaking requires that learners
not only know how to produce specific points of language such as grammar,
pronunciation, or vocabulary, but also that they understand when, why, and in
what ways to produce language. According to Brown (1994) there are six
possible task categories in speaking practice:
a. Imitative
Drills in which the learner simply repeats a phrase or structure for
clarity and accuracy.
10
b. Intensive
Drills or repetitions focusing on specific phonological or
grammatical points, such as minimal pairs or repetition of a series of
imperative sentences.
c. Responsive
Short replies to teacher or learner questions or comments, such as a
series of answers to yes/no questions.
d. Transactional
Dialogues conducted for the purpose of information exchange,
such as information-gathering interviews, role plays, or debates.
e. Interpersonal
Dialogues to establish or maintain social relationships, such as
personal interviews or casual conversation role plays; and
f. Extensive
Extended monologues such as short speeches, oral reports, or oral
summaries.
D. O’Malley Language Strategies as a Language Learning Strategies
O’Malley et al, divide language learning strategy into three main
subcategories, namely: metacognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, and socio-
affective strategies (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati. 2010: 153).
1) Metacognitive strategies
Metacognitive strategies refer to a term used in information-
processing theory to indicate an “executive” function that is the strategies
which involve planning for learning, thinking, about learning process as it
is taking place, monitoring of one’s production or comprehension, and
evaluating learning after an activity is completed.
Metacognitive strategies are classified into eight subcategories those
are advance organizer, directed attention, selective attention, self-
management, functional planning, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and
delayed production.
11
a. Advance Organizers
Advance organizers are making in general but
comprehensive preview of the organizing concept or principle in
an anticipated learning activity (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati,
2010:153).
b. Directed Attention
Directed attention is deciding in advance to attend in
general to a learning task and to ignore irrelevant distracters
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
c. Selective attention
Selective attention is deciding in advance to attend specific
aspects of language input or situational details that will cue the
retention of language input (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati,
2010:153).
d. Self-Management
Self-management is understanding the conditions that one
learn and arranging for the presence of those conditions
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
e. Functional Planning
Functional planning is planning for and rehearsing
linguistic components necessary to carry out an upcoming
language task (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
f. Self-Monitoring
Self-monitoring is correcting one’s speech for accuracy in
pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, or for appropriateness
related to the setting or to the people who are present (O’Malley et
al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
g. Delayed Production
Delayed production is consciously deciding to postpone
speaking in order to learn initially through listening
comprehension (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
12
h. Self-Evaluation
Self-evaluation is checking the outcomes of one’s own
language learning against an internal measure of completeness
and accuracy (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
2) Cognitive Strategies
Cognitive strategies are more limited to specific learning tasks and
they involve more direct manipulation of the learning material itself.
Cognitive strategies are classified into fourteen subcategories those are
repetition, resourcing, translation, grouping, note taking, deduction,
recombination, imagery, auditory representation, key word,
contextualization, elaboration, transfer, and inferencing.
a. Repetition
Repetition is imitating a language model, include overt
practice and silent rehearsal (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati,
2010:153).
b. Resourcing
Resourcing is using target language reference materials
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
c. Translation
Translation is using the first language as a base for
understanding and/or producing the second language (O’Malley et
al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
d. Grouping
Grouping is reordering or reclassifying, and perhaps
labelling the material to be learned based on common attributes
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
e. Note taking
Note taking is writing down the main idea, important
points, outline, or summary of information presented orally or in
writing (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
13
f. Deduction
Deduction is consciously applying rules to produce or
understand the second language (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati,
2010:153).
g. Recombination
Recombination is constructing a meaningful sentence or
larger language sequence by combining known elements in new
way (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
h. Imagery
Imagery is relating new information to visual concepts in
memory via familiar, easily retrievable, visualizations, phrases, or
locations (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
i. Auditory Representation
Auditory representation is retention of the sound or a
similar sound for a word, phrase, or longer language sequence
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
j. Key word
Key word is remembering a new word in the second
language by identifying a familiar word in the first language that
sounds like or otherwise resembles the new word and generating
easily recalled images of relationship between the new word and
the familiar word (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
k. Contextualization
Contextualization is placing a word or phrase in a
meaningful language sequence (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati,
2010:153).
l. Elaboration
Elaboration is relating new information to other concepts in
memory (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
14
m. Transfer
Transfer is using preciously acquired linguistic and/or
conceptual knowledge to facilitate a new language learning task
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
n. Inferencing
Inferencing is using available information to guess meaning
of new items, predict outcomes, or fill in missing information
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
3) Socio-Affective Strategies
Socio-Affective strategies have to do mediating activities and
interacting with others. Socio-Affective strategies are classified into two
subcategories those are cooperation and question for clarification.
a. Cooperation
Cooperation is working with one or more peers to obtain
feedback, pool information, or model a language activity
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153).
b. Question for clarification
Question for clarification is asking a teacher or native
speaker for repetition, paraphrasing, explanation, and/or examples
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153)
E. Previous Research
Related to this research, there are some previous study had been done,
and they are different problem and object with this study.
a. The first research is conducted by Hermin Dwi Wulandari (2016) entitle is
“Learning Strategies Used by English Department Students in Learning
Pronunciation.” The purpose of the research is to observe what learning
strategies used in learning pronunciation, and how the strategy help
English department students to master English pronunciation. She using
qualitative research. She applied basic interpretative research and there
were 7 students participated in this research in which they belonged to the
15
this research shows that the students applied almost all of the strategies
proposed by O’Malley et al including meta-cognitive strategies, cognitive
strategies, and socio-affective strategies in mastering their speaking skill.
In meta-cognitive strategies, the students use seven to eight strategies,
namely: advance organizer, selective attention, self-management,
functional planning, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation. In cognitive
strategies, the students used twelve to fourteen strategies, namely:
repetition, resourcing, grouping, note taking, deduction, recombination,
imagery, auditory representation, key word, contextualization, elaboration,
and inferencing. And in socio-affective strategies, the students used two
strategies, namely: cooperation and question for clarification. Based on the
problem above, the researcher chosen this article to be previous research.
The problem above have some similarity with the problem to be studied
that is observation learning strategies that used in students English
Department. Then, he used qualitative research same with this research
especially using case study. But, the differences is previous research above
used old theory about learning strategy, this research using the latest
theory.
c. The third research is conducted by Nurlina Oktaviani Lestari (2015),
entitle is “Language Learning Strategies of English Education Department
of FITK.” This research was to describe learning strategies employed by
the students of English Education Department at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah
which pursue in the fourth. The participants were examined through
Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). She used descriptive
research design to answer the question of study. The result of the study
reveals the FITK students used all learning strategies. Based on the
problem above, the researcher chosen this article to be previous research.
The problem above have some similarity with the problem to be studied
that is observation learning strategies that used in students English
Department. But, she used quantitative research to answer the question,
while this research using qualitative.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Approach
The research method in this research is qualitative method.
According (Cresswell, 2012:16) Qualitative research is the best suited to
address a research problem in which you do not know the variables and
need to explore. The literature might yield little information about the
phenomenon of study, and you need to learn more from participants
through exploration. In other word, qualitative research deals with how the
students understand about the material given.
According (Creswell, 1998:15) Qualitative research involves the
studied use and collection of a variety of empirical materials-case study,
personal experience, introspective, life story, interview, observational,
historical, interactional, and visual texts that describe routine and
problematic moments and meaning in individuals lives.
Qualitative research is an approach that rival particularly social
situation by describing reality correctly, form by the word based on
techniques of collecting and analyzing relevant data obtained from a natural
situation.
The study is indicated the fact that student’s whether using
O’Malley strategy as strategy in learning speaking or not, and then how the
use of strategy in learning speaking. The researcher uses qualitative
approaches to explore the behavior, perspectives, feelings and experiences
of students. So, the researcher concludes by observing the learning
speaking activities of students in the classroom, using their strategies.
In this research, the researcher uses qualitative method to
understand about using O’Malley strategies in speaking activities in class.

B. Research Design
This research is using qualitative approach to answer the research
questions. A case study is a problem to be studied, which will reveal an in-
depth understanding of a “case” or bounded system, which involves
understanding an event, activity, process, or one or more individuals
(Creswell, 2002: 61). Meanwhile, Emilia (2005) who states that a case
study design is employed in “a small scale, a single case”, focus on one
particular instance of educational experience or practice. The researcher
decision to use this method was based on the researcher’s intention to get
an in-depth strategy used in learning speaking.
The grounded case study mainly focuses on goals and ambitions
within corporation. This method is often built on some kind of
organizational model (Heath 2005). Stake (1995) presents three types of
case studies: a) Instrumental case studies, b) intrinsic case studies, c)
collective case studies. The researcher use instrumental case study to
describe certain circumstance or research question of interest.
The researcher starts to make an instrument to get the data to find
out the strategy used by students through O’Malley strategies.
C. Data Collection
1. Technique(s) of Collecting the data
Data collection for the individual case studies follows those rules
and guidelines for collecting data relevant to each of types of data to be
used. The researcher has to organize the data were obtained by
observation, and interview to get a valid information of data. According to
Cresswell (2012:238) that organization of the data is critical in qualitative
research because of the large amount of information gathered during a
study. In collecting data the researcher using two techniques, which are
observation and interview. The researcher using observation to know
whether the strategy is used by participant or not. The researcher enter the
19
class to observe the participant while doing speaking class. For interview
the researcher made 24 question about O’Malley strategy that will be
asked to the participant.
a. Observation
The researcher conducted observation to find out what the
participants apply the strategies in speaking activities. The researcher did
observation in three students of fifth semester in English Department of
UNINUS. The observation did on October, 1 2018 at 16.40 pm in
teaching speaking class.
b. Interview
The researcher conducted the interview to find out and ask to the
interviewee about 24 questions about O’Malley strategies classification.
There are three participants to be ask about 24 questions about O’Malley
strategies classification. The interview conducted at class of PAUD at
11.00 pm on October, 2 2018.
2. Instrument of the Research
The instruments used to collect data were the interviews,
questionnaire, and observations.
a. Observation Sheet
Observation is the process of gathering the information by
observing the people and place of the research objective
(Cresswell, 2008). In this research the researcher would like to
observation how three students doing speaking in class especially
in speaking class.
The researcher applied some process in conducting the
observations. Regarding to what Cresswell (2008) proposed, that
the researcher could obtain more understanding of the site
proposed and individuals by conducting multiple observations, the
researcher conducted four times observations in order to gain more
information. In the observations, field notes and recording were
also conducted. They helped the researcher to recheck the data
20
E. Data Analysis
The data will be analysed were observation and interview .The data
will be analysed by the researcher qualitatively. The qualitative data
analysis is used to analyse the data from observation and interview.

Based on the result above, it can be show that the students did not only
concentrate on hearing the lecturer’s explanation, but also did not ignore it too.
c. Selective attention
Selective attention is deciding in advance to attend specific aspects of
language input or situational details that will cue the retention of language input
(O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153). Based on the description of selective

From the research finding above, it can be show that the students applied
the functional planning learning strategy in mastering their speaking skill
through prepare their self with some plans that will they do in the class of
speaking.
f. Self-Monitoring
Self-monitoring is correcting one’s speech for accuracy in pronunciation,
grammar, vocabulary, or for appropriateness related to the setting or to the
people who are present (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153). Based on the

No Question Answer
Participant 3
No Question Answer
Based on research findings above, it can be show that the students applied
the self-monitoring learning strategy in mastering their speaking skill by using
some manners such as asking lecturer, searching in dictionary, watching movie,
and consulting with their friends.
g. Delayed Production
Delayed production is consciously deciding to postpone speaking in order
to learn initially through listening comprehension (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati,
2010:153). Based on the description of delayed production above, the writer has
some questions which deals with delayed production for all the informants and
the answer are:
Participant 1
No Question Answer

class, what will you do? from listen I can get other resources
to start debate, and to build our
argument become stronger.
Participant 3
No Question Answer
1. If you are lag the material in the Yes, I did because if we not listen
class, what will you do? we will confused what we want talk
about.
From the research findings above, it can be show that before the students
ready to speak, they prepared their self by listening first. It will help students to
mastering their speaking skill, and also the students learn from experience and
make their speeches better than before.
h. Self-Evaluation
Self-evaluation is checking the outcomes of one’s own language learning
against an internal measure of completeness and accuracy (O’Malley et al, in
Fauziati, 2010:153). Based on the description of self-evaluation above, the
writer has some questions which deals with self-evaluation for all the
informants and the answer are:

friend’s opinions
Participant 3
No Question Answer
Based on research findings above, the writer concludes that they used self-
evaluation learning strategy to mastering their speaking skill. They are used
feedback from their friends and advice from lecturer.
2. Cognitive Strategies
a. Repetition
Repetition is imitating a language model, include overt practice and silent
rehearsal (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153). Based on the description of

repetition strategy to mastering their speaking skill. Besides, the writer also
conducts the observation on the students in speaking class. The result of
observation showed that, the G’s dialect looked different between the W and F’s
dialect. The F’s dialect is good and the sound is nice to be heard. From the result
above, the writer concludes that the application of the repetition learning
strategy is good in improving speaking skill.
b. Resourcing
Resourcing is using target language reference materials (O’Malley et al, in

references in learning speaking? book and watching YouTube.
33
Based on the research findings above, it can be show that the students
applied the resourcing learning strategy in mastering their speaking skill. It
could be proven that the students W, F, and G not only depend on the material
from the lecturer but also depend on the other material, especially from internet
and book.
c. Translation
Translation is using the first language as a base for understanding and/or
producing the second language (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153). Based on

note taking strategy in mastering their speaking skill by writing the points or
something important about the material and making something which helps
them to understand the materials such as making a chart of concept that will be
develop.
f. Deduction
Deduction is consciously applying rules to produce or understand the
second language (O’Malley et al, in Fauziati, 2010:153). Based on the

C. Interpretation
From the research findings, the writer finds out that in mastering speaking
skill the students use many strategies. In this research, the writer analyzes learning
strategies which is used by the students in developing their speaking skill with
O’Malley et al theory including meta-cognitive strategies, cognitive strategies,
and socio-affective strategies.
making concept before enter the speaking class. That concept helped students in
order to make them ready in learning speaking. Based on this research, the writer
concludes that advance organizers is appropriate learning strategy in mastering
speaking skill.
The second is directed attention. Directed attention is deciding in advance
to attend in general to a learning task and to ignore irrelevant distracters.
According to the research findings, the student W preferred to do not ignore the
things which deviate from learning process because they think it is an additional
knowledge to develop their speaking. While student F and G preferred to ignore
the things which deviate from learning process because it could disturb the
concentration in paying attention the lecturer’s explanation. From the result, the
writer concludes that directed attention is not appropriate learning strategy in
mastering speaking skill.
The third strategy is selective attention. Selective attention is deciding in
advance to attend to specific aspects of language input or situational details that
will cue the retention of language input. Based on result interview, in learning
speaking the student chose the topic and described it then made some concepts
which related to speaking material. From the result above, it can be how that the
students applied the selective attention learning strategy in mastering speaking
skill.
The fourth strategy is self-management. Self-management is
understanding the conditions that help one learn and arranging for the presence of
those conditions. Based on interview, the students tried to knowing their skill
bound, after that they do something that helped them to improve their speaking
skill. The students did some activities such as watching YouTube, and manage
their nervous in front of class when speaking. Self- management helped students
to measure their ability and made them to create some activities which develop
their speaking skill.
The fifth strategy is functional planning. Functional planning is planning
for and rehearsing linguistic components necessary to carry out an upcoming
language task. According to the result of interview, the writer concludes that
50
Second, cognitive strategies are more limited to specific learning tasks and
they involve more direct manipulation of the learning material itself. In cognitive
strategies there are strategies repetition, resourcing, translation, grouping, note
taking, deduction, recombination, imagery, auditory representation, key word,
contextualization, elaboration, transfer, and inferencing are the most important
51
cognitive strategies. The writer will discuss the strategies which are used by
students based on the research findings in cognitive strategies.
The fifth strategy is note taking. Note taking is writing down the main
idea, important points, outline, or summary of information presented orally or in
writing. According research findings, the writer concludes that the students
applied the note taking learning strategy in mastering their speaking skill by
writing the points or something important about the material. The points or outline
help them to understand the materials such as making a chart of concept that will
be develop.
The tents strategy is key word. The main point of key word is
remembering a new word in the second language by identifying a familiar word in
the first language that sounds like or otherwise resembles the new word. Based on
the results of interview all of students use key word strategy because key word
strategy is important in remember vocabulary to mastering their speaking skill. So
the writer concludes that key word learning strategy helped students in adding
their vocabulary to mastering their speaking skill.
not understand to their friends. Based on the results above, question for
clarification is helped students in clarifying the speaking materials that they do not
understand.
According to the subject of the research, those are 3 students of fifth
semester of English Education Department of UNINUS, namely: W, F, and G.
Based on the result of observation in the class of speaking and the speaking class’
lecturer opinion. The speaking ability of student W is better than student F, and
the speaking ability of student F is better than student G.
Based on the result research findings, the strategies which is used by
student W, F, and G are not too different. After analyzing the result of research
findings and discussion, the data showed that student W has good skill in speaking
because her effort in mastering speaking skill is harder than student F and G
effort. The difference effort in mastering speaking skill between W, F and G sold
on directed attention and self-monitoring strategies in meta-cognitive strategy;
translation, grouping, and deduction strategies in cognitive strategy; and
cooperation learning in socio-affective strategy.
In functional planning learning strategy, student W prepare the planning
by talking with friend and talk something. Student F sometimes make a planning
depend on the material. While student G make a list question which will ask to the
lecturer.
In self-monitoring learning strategy, student W measured her accuracy in
pronunciation, intonation, and grammar by asked friend and listen English song,
while student F using strategy self-monitoring by read a book, and asked lecturer.
Student G using strategy self-monitoring by listen English song, and searching
material in internet.
In repetition learning strategy, student W choose to imitate British dialect
while students F and G preferred to use their own dialect. That is why, the
student’s W pronunciation and speaking fluency is better than student F and G. In
grouping learning strategy, student W always making note based on the material,
while student F and G did not using grouping in their strategy. In auditory
representation learning strategy, student W and G had good method in

CHAPTER V
A. Conclusion
Based on the analysis of the research findings and discussion, the writer
concludes that students applied almost all of strategies proposed by O’Malley et al
theory including meta-cognitive strategies, cognitive strategies, and socio-
affective strategies in mastering their speaking skill. While, the students used
same learning strategies, they had different activities in using the strategies.
In meta-cognitive strategies, from eight strategies there is a strategy that is
not appropriate in developing speaking skills. The writer concludes that the
students preferred to do not ignore something which deviates from teaching
learning process because they had thought that it was an additional knowledge to
develop their speaking skill.
In cognitive strategies, from fourteen strategies, there are two strategies
that are not appropriate in developing speaking skill, that are: translation and
transfer learning strategy. Translation strategy was not appropriate in speaking
skill because speaking skill will develop if the students spoke directly. While
transfer learning strategy was not appropriate in developing speaking skill because
the knowledge in the first language was very different from the knowledge in the
second language especially in pronunciation and grammatical.
In socio-affective strategies, there was no strategy which was not
appropriate in mastering speaking skill because the students had to practice lot in
speaking English and if they did not understand about the material, they had to
ask the teacher or their smarter friends to explain the material in detail.
