ideas and thoughts with other people by speaking. A smooth interaction between

people can take place in that way. Speaking skill is taught to students to make

them capable of communicating by using English correctly. In fact, a teacher has

less motivation to give the students’ special treatment in teaching speaking.

First, “can Fishbowl Discussion improve student’s speaking ability of the tenth

when it is applied at the tenth grade students of SMA NU AL Ma’ruf Kudus in

academic year 2013/2014 to improve students’ speaking ability?”

This is a classroom action research. The research was conducted in SMA

speaking ability by using Fishbowl Discussion technique in cycle II is 81.46 then

the average score from 81.46 into percentage to be 81.46% so the speaking ability

technique of teaching English had proven effective in improving the ability of

English speaking of the students of SMA NU Al Ma’ruf Kudus in academic year

sehari-hari. Penulis dapat membagi ide dan pemikiran kita dengan orang lain

dengan berbicara. Interaksi yang lancar diantaranya orang dapat menggunakan

kearah itu. Keterampilan berbicara diajarkan kepada siswa untuk membuat

mereka mampu berkomunikasi dengan bahasa Inggris yang benar. Faktanya, guru

kurang memiliki motivasi untuk memberikan perlakuan khusus kepada siswa

dalam pengajaran berbicara.

Penelitian ini mempunyai beberapa tujuan untuk menemukan jawaban dari

pernyataan dari sebuah masalah adakah this research has a purpose to find out

menjawab dari pernyataan masalah; Pertama, “Dapatkah Fishbowl Discussion

meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa kelas X SMA NU Al Ma’ruf Kudus di

tahun 2013/2014?”. Kedua, “kekuatan dan kelemahan apa dari penggunaan

Fishbowl Discussion ketika diaplikasikan pada murid-murid kelas X SMA NU Al

Ma’ruf di tahun 2013/2014 untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa?”.

Ini merupakan penelitian tindak kelas (Classroom Action Research).

Penelitian ini di SMA NU Al Ma’ruf Kudus. Subject penelitian adalah kelas X1

pada semester kedua. Materi yang digunakan adalah descriptive text. Penulis

menggunakan beberapa instrument di dalam penelitian ini. Yang digunakan

adalah observation and achievement test menggunakan fishbowl discussion. Ada

empat langkah dalam melakukan Penilitian Tindakan Kelas yaitu perencanaa,

Fishbowl Discussion adalah 71.06 kemudian rata-rata dari 71.06 kedalam

presentase yaitu 71.06%. Pada cycle II nilai rata-rata test kemampuan berbicara

menggunakan Fishbowl Discussion adalah 81.46 kemudian rata-rata dari 81.46

kedalam presentase yaitu 81.46 %. Jadi kemampuan berbicara pada cycle II sangat

Fishbowl Discussion untuk mengajar bahasa Inggris terbukti efektif untuk

meningkatkan penguasaan berbicara murid-murid SMA MU Al Ma’ruf Kudus di

tahun pelajaran 2013/2014.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diatas, peneliti bisa menyimpulkan bahwa

penggunaan Fishbowl Discussion bisa meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam

xi

berbicara terhadap kelas X di SMA NU Al Ma’ruf Kudus di tahun ajaran

2013/2014. Pertama, penulis menyarankan bahwa guru bahasa Inggris harus

mencoba untuk menggunakan Fishbowl Discussion sebagai salah satu tehnik

pembelajaran. Kedua, guru bahasa Inggris harus mendorong siswa untuk

praktek dan latihan. Itu untuk membuat siswa merasa senang dan aktif dikelas.

Sehingga dapat meningkatkan pemahaman mereka dalam berbicara.
