INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background Of Study

Language is everywhere. In this world so many language that we dont

know and we can’t to speak, and English one of the languages used by the people

around the world to communicate each other. English is one of the International

language which people must be able to speak and communicate English fluently.

Especially in indonesia, English has became as a first foreign language where

taught in a level education of Indonesia, from elementary school up untill

university level.

Learning english is it not just about know vocabulary and grammar rules,

because English has four language skill namely; listening, reading, writing and

speaking. In every skill are supported by English language elements, which are

structure; vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling.

People who want to go to abroad or somewhere that have many tourist

especially foreign people, human touch is needed to interact with their, and
speaking is the skill that we used to handle it. Speaking skill as the most important

means of communication, because without it, we can’t communicate each other.

According to Wilson (1983:5) “speaking as development of the relationship

between speaker and listener”.

Improving speaking skill is not easy in indonesian, it because English isn’t

a mother tongue. To improve speaking skill so many problem that had been to

handle, from the external side problem and internal side problem. First , from

external problem is institutional context that puts English as second language.

Second, from the internal problem is native language. Moreover, the another

problem of the internal side is a personality. Personality is one of the aspect that

can affect in the learning process. Personality means that the ways someone

interact with other people based on their expression, character, habits, and

emotional condition. In the other hand, personality is the trait shown by someone

in daily communication and activity that they used to communicate each other.

The fact, communication means the language and gesture that produced of body

to provide natural behaviour of human. There are two human personalities in

determining human character, called Introvert and Extrovert. One of the another

characteristic of introvert personality is they more prefer to be on the listener's

side rather than talking actively, different from extrovert person they prefer more

talk-aktive and out going people. So, that’s personality traits will have impact on

speaking ability.

Introvert and extrovert personlities have the important impact in learning

english. Every students have different capability in speaking. Self- condition is

one factor that make speaking of some student not good because their feel anxiety
and nervous when they’re want to speak up in front of the people, and also less

vocabulary and fears of mistakes make students prefer to be listener’s rather than

having to talk. This situations make learning english process be passive.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Relevance Theories

2.1.1 Speaking

Speaking is an activity to give information by someone to other, it happen

between speaker and listener. Speaking is also the way people delevering

messages in some topic to be discuss. Speaking have many definitions with

supported by different theories. According to (Brown, 1994; Burns & Joyce,

1997) in Florez (1999:1)“speaking is an interactive process of constructing

meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information”.

Speaking means sounds and words that produces to express meanings and giving

information in speech to communicate each other.

Nunan (2003, p. 48) say that “speaking is a productive skill which consists

of systematic verbal utterances that carry out a meaning”. It means that speaking

is the key and important skill in communication. Without speaking there is no

communication to make people understood each other.

Based on the explanation above, speaking has became the important skill

in daily life except from mother tongue language or foreign language. The best

method to be master in speaking, it’s practice. People can master in many

language because they always practice to speak. In other word called “learn to

speak by speaking”. According to Chastain (2004), “speaking is a productive skill

since it produces ideas, messages, and suggestion and we need to practice it”.
2.1.2 personality

Personality can be defined as a human nature or behaviour came from

human feelings, thought, expression and characteristic. Personality became a

popular word in psychology study because the study refers to everything about

person mental. Robert B. Ewen (p.4) said that, “Personality refers to the

important and relatively stable characteristics within a person that account for

consistent patterns of behavior”.

personality has been formed since in the womb until in infancy,

personality is shaped by parents. , Eysenck (1967) and Gray (1972) have defined

“personality as a long-lasting fundamental characteristic of individual behavior”.

Every human have different personality that called unique. Allah swt always make

a good painting. Thats way human can interact and communicate each other

because their have diffrent feeling, expression, character, and ideas. (Schultz and

Schultz, 1994). Pervin (1996) believes that “personality indicates characteristics

of the person(s) that represent consistent patterns of behavior”. There are two

types of personalities according to Jung, namely introvert and extrovert.

2.1.3 Extrovert

Extrovert is the type of person who more likely to be focus on the world

outside the self, and able to speak fluently more introvert. Naiman, Frohlick, Stern

and Todesco (1978) believe that “the extroverts who are sociable and open to

other people are more successful in learning languages than introverts”. In

learning process, people who have extrovert personality more better known by

teacher or lecturer, because their like to be attention and heard by other people.
Also, they can easly express their feeling to make someone or other people know

about that.

Extrovert person are likely spent they time with group, such as party,

gathering, watching musical concert and any kind of group activity. “Extraversion

describe active, sociable and assertive people, people willing to communicate”.

(McCabe & Fleeson, 2012).

2.1. 4 introvert

Introvert is a type of person who more likely to be focus on the world

inside the self. usually, introvert more active with their own through and feelings.

Feist, Gregory J. Feist, p.122, according to Jung “The introverts are tuned in to

their inner world with all its biases, fantasies, dreams, and individualized

perceptions”.

The outside world like nightmare for introvert person if their not feel

comfortable with the situation. According to Tieger & Barron-Tieger, 1995

defined “Introverts are often characterized by their capacity for inward reflection

and a need to understand the world before they experience it”. When introvert

person in new place they must be prepare what they should do with the person

around that place, being a quite person and be listener is the option for the first

impression.

Introvert more comfortable with internal environment and super

comfortable with their own self and spent the time in alone. But, introvert person

can be more talk-active and be funny at the time when they feel comfortable with
a group which they felt in agreement with them. Lu & Hsiao, 2010 “Introverts are

more interested in an internal environment, preferring to listen and reflect”.
