CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

English is the international language taught in almost every school in the world

nowadays. As an international language, it plays a very important role in

communication across countries. Since it taught in almost every school in the world,

English has four major skills; listening, reading, writing, and speaking. One of the most

important skills in learning English is speaking skill. Learners are required to have at

least enough speaking ability in order to avoid any misinterpretation and

misunderstanding in communication or conversation using English.

In case of pronunciation, many students with extremely different of

pronunciation between their native language (mother tongue) and English will find

speaking skill difficult to be improved. On the other hand, for those who have

similarities in pronunciation between their native language and English will be easier

to improve their speaking skill.

In Indonesia for instance; with some intention in pronouncing some words in

Java language, the Javanese will have some difficulties in pronouncing certain words

in Timor language even in Bahasa Indonesia. The word “Sabu” that means the name

of one of the islands in Timor (Sabu) will be heard as “Sapu” means the broom if the

word pronounced by the Javanese. For the Timor people on the contrary will be easier

1
and precisely pronounce words in Bahasa Indonesia. This is the example of how our

tongue’s work in speaking is formed or influenced by our mother tongue.

There are some reasons why most of the English learners find some difficulties

in improving their speaking skill. The fact that there are so many varieties of local

dialect or mother tongue in Indonesia is one of them. The other fact that makes the

English learners difficult to improve their speaking ability is the differentiations in

structural and grammatical rule in every language. These leads to the differentiations

and varieties of strategies used in improving English speaking ability.

In improving the speaking skill, students are free to choose any appropriate

strategy. Listening to any English song, take private English learning, buy some

additional English books, even go to the western country are the strategies usually used

by most of the English learners so far in writer’s experience. But there is one strategy

that usually skipped by the English students is by using English outside the classroom.

As it is extremely needed to avoid any misinterpretation in communication

speaking skill has to be regularly practiced in an effective way. So far, the use of

English outside the classroom seems to be the appropriate and effective way. The use

of English outside classroom is an activity that gives the students room where they can

have any kind of English conversation in any kind of situation so that they can practice

their speaking ability. In this case, the writer is interested to conduct a study about the

use of English outside the classroom in order to practice and improve speaking ability

by the English department students of Nusa Cendana University.

2
1.2 Research Questions

Research questions are the most crucial part in conducting a research. This part

contains list of searched questions. There are four research questions in this study as

the following:

1. What is the level of Students’ usage of English outside classroom in

comparison to Bahasa Indonesia and Kupang Malay by the English department

students of Nusa Cendana University?

2. How often do English Department students of Nusa Cendana University

usually speak English outside the classroom?

3. What topics do English Department students of Nusa Cendana University used

to speak outside the classroom?

4. Whom do they speak English outside the classroom?

1.3 Purposes

The research purpose is what researcher wants to achieve from doing a

research. The purpose of doing a research is related to what researcher wants to reveal

from a phenomenon. A research is conducted to find any particular information that

can be used in certain needs.

Sugiyono (2017), stated that 3 (three) purposes of research in general are for

invention, for verification, and for development. Invention means that the data collected

form the research is really new and never known before. Verification means that the

data collected form the research is used for verification to any doubt on a particular

3
information and knowledge. Development means that the research is purposed to

deepen and to expand any existing knowledge.

This study is conducted to figure out how the English Department students of

Nusa Cendana University use English when they are outside the classroom. The

purposes of this research are as follow:

1. To know the level of English usage outside classroom by the English

Department students of Nusa Cendana University,

2. To know how often the English Department students of Nusa Cendana

University usually speak English outside the classroom,

3. To know what topics the English Department students of Nusa Cendana

University usually speak using English outside the classroom.

4. To know to whom the English Department students of Nusa Cendana

University usually speak using English outside the classroom.

1.4 Scope and Limitation

Julianto (2013): The scope is going to tell a person exactly what is being

discussed in the paper. Scope describes how much of a topic the thesis covers. It may

be further sub divided into the following parts for example:

• Regarding Respondents (Their age, caste, only to male or female etc.)

• Regarding Area

• Regarding brand/product etc.

4
The scope is also limited to what is being addressed and what is not, so

there are limitations placed on the scope.

This study is focused on the use of English especially on speaking outside the

classroom by the English department students of Nusa Cendana University. The writer

will focus on how the English department students of Nusa Cendana University apply

English outside the classroom in such a way to practice their speaking ability. Having

small talk, conversation, even discussion with their friends and lecturers are the

examples of activities that can be used to practice their speaking ability.

In this study the writer also discussed about the frequency of English usage by

the research sample. How much the English department students use English in their

activities mentioned above to improve their speaking ability. The other focus on this

study is about how the English department students select their partner in using English

outside the classroom.

“Because of the limitation of energy, cost, and time and so that the results of

the study are more focused, a researcher will not study towards the whole in the object

of a research”, Sugiyono (2017). In order to make this study more focus on the research

purpose, the writer made some limitation on this study. First, not all the student’s

activities were studied. The focus was only the activities that require the students to

speak. Second, this study only focused on the student’s partner who they speak to using

English. The students’ partner at least could facilitate them in using English so that

their conversation would be in English. The third limitation is not all the students’

5
conversation were studied on this research but only the conversation including English

will.

CHAPTER II

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 The Definition of English Usage Outside the Classroom

English usage outside the classroom is defined as an effort to improve English

proficiency by practicing it directly under certain conditions in everyday life. Another

researcher uses the term “Out-of-class English language learning” in referring to the

use of English outside the classroom. Both “English usage outside the classroom and

out-of-class English language learning” have the same meaning.

Ferdous (Benson 2001 : 62) defined out-of-class learning, as any kind of

learning that takes place outside the classroom and classified out-of-class learning into

three categories: (a) self-instruction (i.e., students’ locating resources to help them

improve the target language), (b) naturalistic language learning (i.e., students’ learning

to communicate and interact with the target language group unintentionally), and (c)

self-directed naturalistic language learning (i.e., students’ creating or searching out a

language learning situation).

The use of English outside the classroom will provides opportunity for the

English learners to apply their English skill especially speaking ability in the real

communication. It is a kind of play-based learning activity or experimentation-based

learning activity that is more effective among many learning activities used by English

learners as a strategy.

9
Ferdous (2013: 8) explained the benefit of learning beyond the classroom as

follows:

By taking learning beyond the classroom learners will find dozens of


opportunities to make learning concepts, real and relevant by putting them
into a more realistic context. Many concepts which seem too difficult to
get a grasp of in the classroom are a lot easier to understand in the big
wide world when they’re set in context, and when the learners are more
engaged and motivated to understand and learn. It can nurture creativity
and imagination.

2.2 Other Studies on English Usage Outside the Classroom

Many researches have been done regarding to the use of English outside the

classroom. It is stated by Mane Sargsyan and Anna Kurghinyan (2016) that the study

done by Grau (2009), aimed to investigate and compare how German High school

students use English outside their classroom and then in the classroom. The results

showed that German students use English much during their free time outside the

classroom. There was also statistically significant difference between boys and girls.

Boys prefer more playing computer games while girls watch English programs and

listen to music. The findings also indicate that teachers’ and learners’ opinion about

using English during free time are mostly similar.

Sultana (2014) conducted a study of outside-classroom English language

learning on Bengali intermediate English learners at Tertiary Level in Bangladesh and

found that majority of the students opined that English conversation had less

contribution to develop their writing skill rather enriched their speaking skill along with

10
sentence making capability and mostly used grammatical structures, which is required

for the conversation.

The studies above show us that many researchers have put their attention on

the use of English outside the classroom. There are also lots of advantages from

outside-classroom English as shown by Sultana’s study that majority of the students

opined that English conversation had less contribution to develop their writing skill

rather enriched their speaking skill along with sentence making capability and mostly

used grammatical structures. As a teacher the writer can argue that we should put our

attention on how students realize about English usage outside the classroom as the

effective strategy in improving English speaking ability.

2.3 The Role of English

English is an international language used by so many people around the world.

English has been officially accepted as an international language by the reason of

science and technological development and globalization. Nowadays English plays

very important role in the world. As stated by Firmus Mo’a Passar (2002) that it can’t

be denied that the role of English as an international language become so important and

even it is a requirement for those who want to be success. It is a fact that every formal

education starts from elementary school to higher education employ English as one of

the subjects.

Since it is accepted as an international language, English seems to be the most

important language in the world as we know the fact that almost every school in the

11
world employs English as one of the important subjects that must be taught in that

school. Indonesia for example, junior high school and senior high school in Indonesia

employ English as the national examination course. Even some elementary school in

Indonesia also employ English as the national examination course.

Regarding to the important of English to be studied, students are demanded to

at least understand English before they can spoke it. But for the faculty of teacher

training and education/FKIP students especially English department students,

understand a language (English) is not enough yet to prepare all the skills and

competences of a teacher candidate. Speaking is the important skill for a teacher. In

order to make students understand the material, a teacher is required to be good in

speaking.

2.4 Definition of Speaking and Speaking Skill

In oxford dictionary, speaking is defined as the action of conveying

information or expressing one's feelings in speech. Wahyuni (Harmer, 2007:284),

“speaking is the ability to speak fluently and presupposes not only knowledge of

language features, but also the ability to process information and language on the spot”.

Zyoud, (Chaney 1998 : 13), “speaking is the process of building and sharing meaning

through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts".

Torky (2006) in his thesis in titled The Effectiveness of a Task- Based

Instruction program in Developing the English Language Speaking Skills of Secondary

Stage Students, stated that Burns & Joyce (1997) defined speaking as an interactive

12
process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving and processing

information. Its form and meaning are dependent on the context in which it occurs,

including the participants themselves, the physical environment, and the purposes for

speaking.

From the definitions above, the writer can conclude that speaking is the

activity of producing ideas and thoughts in mind by transform them into the oral form

or spoken language while speaking skill can be defined as the ability to do the speaking

activity (transforming ideas and thoughts in mind to the spoken language) in

accordance with the language features including structural and grammatical rule.

2.5 Components of Speaking Skill

Huges (in Sulaiman, 2016 : 9) divided components of speaking into 5 components.

Those are pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

1. Pronunciation

Pronunciation is the most crucial part of speaking because words

and sentences that can be produced by a speaker were depend on how good

the speaker’s pronunciation is. The capability to pronounce a word by

English learners is depends on the mother tongue. Since the way mother

tongue works is influenced and formed by the learners’ native language, the

capability to produced words and sentences among English learners is

different one and other.

13
Pronunciation also determines whether the listener able to catch the

words produced by the speaker or not. Sulaiman (2016) stated that to make

our communication by interlocutor it is better for us to produce the words

clearly, because the pronunciation effects the interlocutor understanding in

receiving the meaning of messages.

2. Grammar

Grammar also plays a crucial role in speaking in order to make the

speaking activity understandable. The existence of grammar in speaking

related to how a speaker can produce a good sentence. Hornby (in Sulaiman,

2016) stated that grammar is the rules in a language for changing the form

of words and combining them into sentences. The lack of grammar

capability can lead to misinterpretation and misunderstanding in speaking.

3. Vocabulary

According to Hornby (in Sulaiman, 2016) defined vocabulary as the

total number of the words in a language.

4. Fluency

Hornby (2019) define fluency as the quality of being able to speak

or write a language, especially a foreign language, easily and well.

5. Comprehension

Rukun (2014) simplified that if someone says something beyond the

topic discussed, it can be said that he has no comprehensibility towards the

14
topic. Rukun also stated in other words that comprehensibility determines

how well the speaker interprets and responds the massage received.

2.6 Types of Speaking

There are three types of speaking; interactive speaking, partially interactive

speaking, and non-interactive speaking. Vilagran (2008 : 3) given the examples of those

three types of speaking as follows:

a) Interactive Speaking :

• Face-to-face conversations,

• Telephone calls,

• Chance to ask for clarification, repetition or slower speech from our

conversation partner.

b) Partially Interactive Speaking :

• Giving a speech to the live audience, where the convention is that the

audience does not speak,

• The speaker check comprehension from the audience’s faces.

c) Non-interactive Speaking :

• When recording a speech for a radio broadcast,

• Performing in a play,

• Reciting a poem,

• Singing.

15
In addition, the interactive speaking also covers the activity such as discussion,

debating, conversation, and small talk. The partially-interactive speaking including

seminar, presentation and public speech.

2.7 Functions of Speaking Skill

Brown and Yulie (in Armashita 2017 : 12) divided function of speaking into

three categories including speaking as interaction, speaking as performance and

speaking as transactions.

1. Talk as interaction

Speaking as interaction refers to the interaction which serves a primarily

social function. When people met, they exchange greetings, engage in small

speaking and chit chat, recount recent experiences because they wish to be

friendly and to establish a comfortable zone of interaction with others. The

focus is more on the speaker and how they wish to presents themselves to each

other.

2. Talk as performance

Speaking as performance refers to public speaking; it is talk which

transmits information before and audience such as public announcements and

speeches. Speaking as performance tends to be in form of monolog rather than

dialogue, often follow a recognizable format and it is closer to written

language than conversational language.

16
3. Speaking as transaction.

Speaking as transaction refers to situation where the focus is on the

message about what is said or achieved in order to make people understood

clearly and accurately.

2.8 Some Varieties of Speaking Activity

The speaking activity has some varieties classified based on the its topics, time

spend, participants and procedures as the indicators that most determine which type

a speaking activity categorized.

2.6.1 Quick Question and Respond

Quick question and respond is the speaking activity that happens in

a short time. For instance, when someone is asking for time and address to

his/her friend and his/her friend respond.

2.6.2 Small Talk

Small talk is the speaking activity that happens in an informal

situation and usually involves two people. The topics or what are being

talked in this speaking activity are more specific and not complex. This is

an interactive speaking activity.

2.6.3 Conversation

The speaking activity that involves two or more people. This

speaking activity sometimes takes a bit long but sometimes takes a very

long duration because the topic or what is being talked in this activity is free

and not systematics. This is an interactive speaking activity.

17
2.6.4 Discussion Group

The speaking activity that requires two or more people, usually

happens in a forum, and usually takes a long time. The topic or what is being

talked in this speaking activity is more systematics. When the people that

involved in this speaking activity have finished one topic, they move to

another topic systematically This activity is aimed to result some ideas,

thoughts and agreements as the output.

2.6.5 Debate

Debate is the speaking activity in which people are oppose each other

and usually takes a long time. The topic for this speaking activity is

systematics. The participants must follow its procedures and try not to run

out from the topic.

2.6.6 Public Speech

The kind of speaking activity that usually involves only one person

in the front of some people and the length of the activity is based on the

topic of the speech.

2.9 The Scope of English Speaking Skill

Theoretically, English skill is divided into two kinds; receptive skill including

reading and listening, and productive skill including speaking and writing. Receptive

skill refers to the absorption process of data or information into the brain (decoding

process). In practicing the receptive skill students just need to be passive and receive

18
the data or information they are learning. In the other side productive skill refers to the

ability of producing a language from the brain whether in oral form or written form.

2.5.1 Competences in Speaking

It is explained earlier that speaking ability is extremely needed to avoid

any misinterpretation and misunderstanding in communication. Regarding to that

important role of English speaking ability in communication, there are some

important competences that need to be improved since they are performed at the

same time when we speak. Those include structural competence, grammatical

competence, translation competence, syntactical, lexical, and pragmatical

meaning.

Ferdous (2013) stated that Canale and Swain (1980) developed a

framework for communicative competence in their 1980 paper and listed these

components of communicative competence: 1) Linguistic/Grammatical

competence, 2) Sociolinguistic competence, 3) Discourse competence, and 4)

Strategic competence. Grammatical competence refers to the knowledge of the

structural properties of a language: phonology, vocabulary, syntactic rules, etc.

of a language. Sociolinguistic competence includes appropriate use of politeness,

appropriate language adjustments according to interlocutor, and appropriate

language use in different social contexts. The ability to create lengthy texts and

combine phrases smoothly is called Discourse competence, while Strategic

19
competence refers to an individual’s strategies that they employ to successfully

communicate.

2.5.2 Genres of Speaking

Torky, (Carter and McCarthy, 1997) classified speaking extracts in

terms of genres as follows:

• Narrative: A series of everyday anecdotes told with active listener

participation.

• Identifying: Extracts in which people talk about themselves, their

biography, where they live, their jobs, their likes and dislikes.

• Language-in-action: Data recorded while people are doing things such

as cooking, packing, moving furniture, etcetera.

• Comment-elaboration: People giving casual opinions and commenting

on things, other people, events and so on.

• Debate and argument: Data, in which people take up positions, pursue

arguments and expound on their opinions.

• Decision-making and negotiating outcomes: Data illustrating ways in

which people work towards decisions/consensus or negotiate their way

through problems towards solutions.

It is recognized that no speech genre can be entirely discrete; for

example, narratives can be embedded within other main generic categories.

20
Furthermore, speaking genres overlap with language functions explained

before, Torky (2006).

2.5.3 Errors in Speaking

Regarding to the communicative role of speaking, the challenging

work in speaking is that some competences of communication must be performed

at the same time along with speaking competences. This is the theory that leads

to the fact that almost every new language learner around the world is easier to

understand a new language rather than to speak that new language. Almost all

new language learners do not find too much difficulties to apprehend the language

but they struggle a lot to speak the language even done a lot of mistakes in

speaking.

Purwoko (Norrish, 1983) classified the mistakes done by the students

into four types; (1) error (2) mistake (3) lapse (4) careless slip. Error is defined

as a systematic deviation, when a learner has not learnt something and

consistently gets it wrong. Mistake is defined as errors that deviate from the

linguistic form that students have learned. Purwoko (Johnson, 1988) stated that

mistake related to the students’ imperfection in transforming their communication

skills into expression that is appropriate with the linguistic form that is demanded

by the target language even though they have previously learned. Lapse is

defined as the lack of students’ concentration caused by limited memory or

21
fatigue. Careless slip is related to the students’ attitude especially when they did

not pay attention when learning a lesson in the classroom.

2.5.4 Difficulties in Speaking

Sargsyan and Kurghinyan (2016) mentioned that the study done by

Hyland (2004), found out that many students and teachers use English outside the

classroom mainly for listening and reading but not for speaking. The most likely

reason why EFL learners do not use English for speaking is that they are afraid

of making mistakes while speaking and using the language incorrectly (Hyland,

2004). Sargsyan and Kurghinyan (Barker 2004), also agreed that for many

students, speaking outside the classroom may be a problem. To overcome their

anxiety Barker (2004), suggested giving students speaking homework

assignments, which will make them communicate each other.

In practicing this kind of skill students are required to be more active

as in productive skill students must produce something as a result from receptive

skill. To produce idea or message through speaking, language components are

used as the way to go through. The language components of speaking skill

including pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar.

Pronunciation relates to the sound, intention, intonation, and wording,

vocabulary refers to the meaning from the concept of a word while grammar

refers to the rule for combining the words. Those three components will run

22
together at one time when the students speak as one activity. The stages of that

activity are as follows:

1. Get the ideas, thoughts and arguments,

2. Extract them into sentences,

3. Find the appropriate words as they determined by the context or situation,

4. Arrange the selected words into a sentence by applying the grammatical

rules of the target language,

5. Produce the sentence orally.

The most difficult stages in the speaking procedures above are stage 3

and stage 4 as they will determine whether the listener understand what is being

spoken or not. Students have to avoid of making any mistakes in those stages as

they may cause any misunderstanding between the speaker and the listener.

2.10 Effective Ways to Improve English Speaking Skill

In improving speaking skill of English, students’ personalities play a large

role. Those who are risk-takers, unafraid of making mistakes will generally be more

talkative. By doing any errors in speaking, students can learn how to fix them. But for

the shy students may take a long time to speak confidently because they are afraid of

making any mistakes.

23
Participants of the research done by Hyland (2004), suggested different kind

of activities like reading newspapers and magazines, writing emails or speaking with

friends for improving the language.

However, students have their own way or technique to develop and improve

speaking skill. In improving the speaking skill, there are many ways that can be used

by the students depend on what way they prefer to use. Many students choose to take

private and some other even choose to go to the western country just in purpose to

improve their speaking skill. This fact shows that learning English in school is not

enough yet for students to have a good speaking skill. Students are demanded to be

more creative and smarter in choosing the way or technique that they think effective

enough to improve their speaking skill.

Efendi jbi (2015) in Learning English Online Blog, states two from eight

effective way of how to learn English effectively. The first way is Trying, and the

second one is Beyond Class Activities. According to Efendi, learning English is like

learning to ride a bicycle or learning to drive a car. We can’t just read and understand

the manual book but we have to try to do it. Efendi also states that students have very

limited time in learning English in the classroom. Usually they have only four hours of

class from 24 hours a day. To be more effective in learning English, students have to

create extra time outside the classroom to practice it in any ways whether through

discussion or communicate using English with their friends.

24
Anonym in Hellenic American Union blog spot listed 15 ways to improve

students’ English outside the classroom and five of them are follow:

1. Agree with friends to speak only English at specific times, such as after the

lesson, on the subway, or on a specific day of the week.

2. Attend plays or other events (talks, presentations) in English organized by

English language organizations.

3. Visit art exhibitions or participate in other art events that are offered in English,

including cultural events at the Hellenic American Union.

4. Practice specific communication situations on your own - at home in front of

the mirror, for example. Imagine that you are introducing yourself,

disagreeing, giving an interview, or asking for information. Find a partner and

role-play.

5. Practice your pronunciation by reading out loud. It’s a good idea to be together

with someone who knows English and can correct you. Also, you record

yourself and notice the way you speak. Set yourself specific goals, such as

understanding the difference in pronunciation between “cat” and “cut”. Write

down the words you often mispronounce.

A statement that language is a matter of habit warns us that to master a

language especially in speaking skill we must practice, practice, and practice. Most of

the students can easily understand a language but hard to speak it. To solve the problem,

25
the use of English outside the classroom is one of the most effective way to practice

the students’ speaking skill.

2.11 Hypothesis

Hypothesis is the writer’s opinion or prediction about a phenomenon in a


research as the temporary result of the study. A scientist defines hypotheses as a hunch,
assumption, suspicion, assertion or an idea about a phenomenon, relationship or
situation, the reality or truth of which the researcher do not know. This hypothesis will
be proved its rightness and its validity by the result of the study.

The rightness and the validity of the hypothesis can be divided into three level:

1. Right;
2. Partially right; or
3. Wrong.

The writer’s hypothesis for this study is that the level of English usage on

speaking outside the classroom by students of English department of Nusa Cendana

University is very low, the usage frequency is only rarely, the topics dominations are

only Quick Question and Respond and Greetings, the partnership domination is only

college. However, the main purpose the English Department Students of Nusa Cendana

University speak English outside the classroom is for practicing their speaking ability.

This means that very few students of English Department of Nusa Cendana University

who practice their speaking skill outside classroom.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.1 Research Design

Research design is the researcher’s plan regarding to the technique used to

conduct the study including the research setting, population and sample, research

instrument, data collection technique, and data analysis technique. Research design

containing some important and particular information about the study. It relates to the

way the researcher collects the information that will be used to answer the questions

guiding the study.

Sugiyono (2017:3) defined research design as the scientific way to get the data

with the specific purpose and usage. There are four key words in the Sugiyono’s

definition; scientific way, data, purpose, and usage. Scientific way means the research

activity is based on scientific principles; rational, empirics, and systematics.

There are two models of research design in general; quantitative research and

qualitative research. Sugiyono (2017:14) stated that Quantitative research can be

defined as the research method based on positivism philosophy, used to study certain

population or sample where the sampling technique is performed in random way, the

data collection by using research instrument, and the data analysis by using quantitative

model / statistic model with the purpose of this kind of research is to test the hypothesis

that has been set.

27
Sugiyono (2017), also divided the type of research according to its level of

explanation into three types; descriptive research, comparative research, and

associative research. Linarwati, et. al. (Sukmadinata, 2006:72) define descriptive

research as a form of research that aimed to describe the phenomena that exist, whether

a natural phenomenon or man-made phenomenon.

Based on the general research model explained above, this study applied

descriptive quantitative model in which the writer described the phenomena about the

use of English outside the classroom quantitatively so that the output of this study was

in percentage form. This study also used descriptive approach where the writer

described how English department students of Nusa Cendana University use English

outside the classroom.

3.2 Population and Sample

Sugiyono (1997: 57) stated that: "Population is the generalization region

consist of the objects or subjects that become a certain quantity and characteristics

established by the researcher to be studied and then to be drawn its conclusions.

Nawawi (1985: 141) stated that, "the population is the totality of all possible values,

whether the results of counting or quantitative and qualitative measurement of certain

characteristics concerning certain complete objects.

In a simple explanation, population and sample is the object of a phenomena

that can be studied in a research. Population is the whole object of the study while

sample is the population in more particular or more specific.

28
The research population for this study comprised all the students of English

department of UNDANA University and the students in third semester of class A were

taken as the sample of this study.

3.3 Data Collection Technique

Data collection technique is the researcher’s technique in collecting the data.

Sugiyono (2017) stated that there are two main factors determining the quality of the

research result; the research instrument quality and data collection quality. Research

instrument quality related to the validity and reliability of the research instrument while

data collection quality related to the accuracy of the methods used in collecting the

data.

Generally, there are three types of data collection technique in descriptive

research; observation, questionnaire and interview. Questionnaire is the technique of

data collection by giving a set of questions in written form to the respondents to be

answered, Sugiyono (2017:199).

To collect the data in this study, the writer used questionnaire technique where

some sets of questions were given by the writer to the students in the form of

questionnaire. All the research questions guiding the study were extracted into the

questionnaire as the research instrument.

29
3.4 Research Instrument

The research instrument is a most important research media used by a

researcher in collecting the data. Generally, there are two different kinds of research

instrument based on the types of the research. Sugiyono (2017:133) stated that in

quantitative research, the researcher uses the research instrument while in qualitative-

naturalistic research, the researcher is the research instrument because in the qualitative

research, a researcher is the key instrument.

The research instruments are not only used in collecting the data but also used

in analyzing the data. Research instrument must be strong and effective in order to

ensure the validity and reliability of the whole information that going to be studied and

to ensure the accuracy of the research result.

In choosing an appropriate research instrument, the researcher must first

consider the effectiveness of the instrument where it is determined by the research type.

Since the type of this research is descriptive-quantitative research, then the writer used

questionnaire as the research instrument to collect the data in this study.

In order to design and build an effective research instrument, a researcher

needs to create instrument development matrix. Sugiyono (2017:149) stated that the

starting point of the matrix development is the research variables that have been set.

The operational definition of those variables will be given to determine the indicators

that will be studied during the research in the form of research questions.

Questionnaire Forms

In order to build a reliable research instrument, every indicator from the

instrument development matrix on the previous page was then being broken down into

questionnaire form. The methodology to create research questionnaire for this study

was employed from Sugiyono (2017 : 149-159). The questionnaire contains the list of

questions that will be answered by the respondent. There were three models of

questionnaire form used in this study;

1. Form 1: contains general questions about what language the students use in

speaking English outside the classroom in comparison to other languages including

Bahasa Indonesia and Kupang Malay.

The score interval for this form used Likert Scale where from the scale of

Always to Never the score interval was 5 to 1, Sugiyono (2017 : 134-135). The

interval score of scales for this study were 5 for Always, 4 for Often, 3 for

Sometimes, 2 for Rarely, and 1 for Never.

In this form, students were asked to give the scores in the scale of always

with 5, often with 4, sometimes with 3, rarely with 2, and never with 1 in order to

know what language they use and how often they use that language in a particular

condition.

2. Form 2: contained some specific statements about how the students use English in

speaking outside the classroom covering its frequency of usage in the scale of

always to never, the topic domination of their English usage outside the classroom,

and the interlocutor domination / partnership domination of their speaking using

English outside the classroom.

The scoring methodology for this form also used Likert Scale method where

the students were asked to give check (√) in the given data interval in order to

represent how often they use English in a specific condition, the topic domination,

and interlocutor domination. Scores were given to each scale to get the weight that

can be measured in the data analysis. From the interval of 5 to 1, 5 was given to

Always, 4 to Often, 3 to Sometimes, 2 to Rarely, and 1 to Never, Sugiyono (2017 :

3. Form 3 : contained the questions in relation to students’ knowledge regarding to

the benefits of using English outside the classroom, students’ agreements to use

English outside classroom, and students’ purposes / aims / goals of using English

outside classroom.

The scoring methodology for this form was used Rating Scale by Sugiyono

(2017 : 141-144) where the students were asked to circle the given scores in the

data interval of Yes with 4 score to No with 1 score. The scores that the students

have given represented their knowledge, agreement, and willingness, regarding to

the use of English outside the classroom.

3.5 Data Analysis Technique

Data analysis technique is the researcher’s technique in analyzing the data or

how a researcher changes the data into the information that going to be published

through a research. The information then become the answer of the research questions.

40
The quantitative research uses statistics as the data analysis technique. There
are two types of statistic usually used in quantitative research; descriptive
statistic and inferential statistic. The descriptive statistic used just to describe
the research sample without generalizing the conclusion to the research
population while the inferential statistic used to describe the research sample
in purpose to generalize the information to the research population, Sugiyono
(2017:207-208).

In this study, the writer used quantitative methodology as the data analysis

technique. Since three forms of research instrument were used in this study, the data

analysis was also in three stages based on its instruments. First stage analysis analyzed

the data collected using the first research instrument (form 1). It was aimed to produce

information related to the usage level of English on speaking outside classroom in

comparison with other languages including Bahasa Indonesia and Kupang Malay.

Second stage analysis analyzed the data collected using the second research instrument

(form 2). It was aimed to produce the information related to ;

➢ how often the students speak using English outside classroom,

➢ topic domination in English usage on speaking outside classroom, and

➢ interlocutor domination in English usage on speaking outside classroom.

Third stage analysis has analyzed the data collected using the third research

instrument (form 3). It was aimed to produce information related to how students use

English outside the classroom as an effective strategy to improve speaking ability. The

points of this stage were ;

➢ students’ knowledge about the benefits of English usage outside classroom,

41
➢ students’ agreement of using English outside classroom as a speaking ability

improvement strategy,

➢ students’ aims of speak using English outside the classroom,

Form 1 Data Analysis

This form is analyzed using Likert Scale method where the measurement was

done by calculating the scores given by the respondents to the data interval. The data

interval in form 1 used the scale of always to never while the scores were given from

(5) for always, (4) for often, (3) for sometimes, (2) for rarely, (1) for never. The highest

score in this form was ‘5’. In calculating the level of usage in percentage form, the

highest score was set as the expected result, Sugiyono (2017 : 135).

According to the analysis methodology of Likert Scale, since the total

respondents in this study was 35 respondents, the calculation formula was as follows:

The Expected Score (ES) = HS x TQ x TR

ES = 5 x 25 x 35 = 4375

Total Language Scores (TLS)


Usage Level (UL) = x 100%
Expected Scores (ES)

UL = … %

HS : Highest Score UL : Usage Level (%)

TR : Total Respondent TLS : Total Language Score

TQ : Total Question ES : Expected Score

42
Form 2 Data Analysis

Data analysis for this form applied the same methodology as used in form 1

but three kinds of searched information were resulted from this analysis. First

information was the answer of the second research question related to the frequency of

English usage, the second information was the answer of the third research question

related to the topic domination and third information is the answer of fourth research

question related to the partnership / interlocutor domination of the out-of-classroom

English usage.

The analysis in this form was used Likert Scale methodology which by

calculate the scores given to the scales. To analyze the usage frequency using Likert

Scale method, the expected score was required to measure it.

❖ English Usage Frequency

As in the research instrument, students were asked to give check (√) on the

predetermined scales. According to Likert Scale, by the total, 23 statements in

the questionnaire with 5 as the highest score, then for 35 respondents, the

calculation formula to get the expected score was as the following:

Expected Score (ES) = 5 x 23 x 35 = 4025

Total Scores
Usage Frequency (UF) = x 100%
ES

UF = … %

43
The result of the calculation using the formula was translated qualitatively in

the following data interval:

Figure 1 : Data Interval of English usage frequency

Always Often Sometimes Rarely Never

4025 3220 2415 1610 805

UF

❖ Topic Domination

Topic domination analysis also done by calculating scores that given on every

statement in the questionnaire. The total score for every topic is resulted from

the total scores given on its questionnaire statements. Each topic represented by

abbreviation; QQR for Quick Question and Respond, Gr for Greetings, Disc for

Discussion, SM for Social Media, GC for General Conversation, ST for Small

Talk and Deb for Debating. The formula to get the expected score for 35

respondents by Likert Scale was as follows:

Expected score for every topic = Highest Score x Total Statements

Expected score for QQR = 30 x 35 = 1050

The expected score for Gr = 15 x 35 = 525

The expected score for Disc = 10 x 35 = 350

The Expected score for SM = 15 x 35 = 525

The Expected score for GC = 15 x 35 = 525

44
The Expected score for ST = 15 x 35 = 525

The expected score for Deb = 15 x 35 = 525

The formula to get the result of topic domination for 35 respondents by

Likert Scale was as follows:

Total Scores (TS)


Topic Domination (TD) = x 100%
Expaxted Scores (ES)

TD = …%

❖ Partnership / Interlocutor Domination

This analysis was for resulting the information related to the question to who

the students usually speak English with. There are three kinds of interlocutor

option given in the research instrument question; teacher/lecturer, college

friends, and other people. Each interlocutor was represented by its abbreviation;

TL for Teachers / Lecturers, FC for Friends / Colleges, and OP for Other

People. Scores has been given in the scale of Always with “5” to Never with

“1” to indicate how much the students speak English to certain interlocutor.

The expected score by Likert Scale was resulted from the highest score

multiplied by total statements for particular interlocutor in the questionnaire.

The formula of expected score for 35 respondents was as the following:

The expected score for TL (6 items) : 5 x 8 x 35 = 1400

The expected score for FC (7 items) : 5 x 7 x 35 = 1225

The expected score for OP (3 items) : 5 x 3 x 35 = 525

45
The formula to get the result of interlocutor domination by Likert Scale

was as follows:

Total Scores (TS)


Interlocutor Domination (ID) = x 100%
Expected Scores (ES)

ID = …%

Form 3 Data Analysis

This analysis was aimed to figure out students’ acknowledgement in accordance to the

use of English outside classroom as an effective strategy to improve their speaking

ability. The acknowledgement is including the level of knowledge, level of agreement,

and purposes of English beyond classroom. There are four questions given in the

research instrument. Students are asked to give score in the scale of Yes with 4 to No

with 1.

The scaling methodology for this form was by using Rating Scale method. By

the amount of respondent is 35, the expected score (ES) for each question is 4 x 35 =

140. To figure out the result, the total scores of each question was put in the data

interval as shown in the following figure:

Figure 2 : Data Interval of form 3 data analysis

3.6 Research Schedule

It is important for a researcher to put all the research plan into a schedule to

make sure the study is done on target and to result a valid and reliable information. As

the scientific activity, a research must be conducted by design and setting especially

the timing.

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Findings

The research questions are the benchmark of the data analysis. The data was

analyzed based on the research questions to figure out the answer that going to be

gathered on this study. There were three types of questionnaire forms to be analyzed

on this study. The writer named them as form one, form 2, and form 3. Each form was

analyzed based on the research questions guiding the study. Since this study was used

descriptive quantitative methodology, the data analysis was done quantitively which

means the analysis result will be in number or percentage form.

4.1.1 Form 1 Data Collection Result and Data Analysis Result

Form one data analysis was aimed to answer the first research question. The

data analysis for this form was to figure out the level of English usage outside the

classroom in comparison to other languages including Kupang Malay and Bahasa

Indonesia. In order to find out what language is dominated in outside-classroom

language, scores have been given by the respondents for each language. For 35

respondents, the total scores that they have given was listed in the table below.

Total Scores 1968 3333 2559

As listed in the above table that the total scores given by 35 samples has been

calculate by the researcher. The result was shown that total scores for Kupang Malay

is 1968, Bahasa Indonesia is 3333, and English is 2559. To compute the result using

Likert Scale method, the writer used the highest score to calculate in percentage form

the domination of each language.

In form 1 questionnaire, the respondents were asked to give scores in the scale

of always with 5, often with 4, sometimes with 3, rarely with 2, and never with 1 to

each question. According to Likert Scale, the highest score (HS) for each question was

5. For 25 questions that has been set in the questionnaire (TQ), the expected score for

each respondent is 125 resulted from 5 multiplied by 25. Since the total respondents

(TR) were 35 persons, then the total expected score for the total respondents is 4375

resulted from 125 multiplied by 35.

According to the analysis methodology of Likert Scale in Sugiyono (2017),

the calculation formula was as follows:

50
➢ Kupang Malay

The Expected Score (ES) = HS x TQ x TR

= 5 x 25 x 35 = 4375

Total Language Scores (TLS)


Usage Level (UL) = x 100%

UL = 58.49%

The usage level of each language is measured from how the percentage

amount of that language reach 100% total expected percentage. The calculation result

shown that Kupang Malay reach 44.98%, Bahasa Indonesia reach 76.18%, and English

reach 58.49% from 100% expected.

4.1.2 Form 2 Data Collection Result and Data Analysis Result

Form 2 data analysis is to answer the research question number 2, 3, and 4.

The first analysis is to find out how often English is used outside the classroom in

the scale of always to never. The output for this analysis will inform us how many

percent scales such as always, often, sometimes, rarely, and never are given to all

the speaking categories or how they reach the domination in speaking categories.

Data analysis in this form is based on the scale given by the respondents to each

statement in the questionnaire.

The Frequency of English Usage

The data collection has produced scores for each frequency as shown in the

following table :

The question “how often do the English department students speak English

outside the classroom” is distributed to each statement on the questionnaire form

where the speaking activity is expanded to more specific categories. For instance,

if the scale always is given to the specific speaking activity such as asking a quick

question, then one point is counted for always as the usage frequency of English.

The data in the table informed that each scale on the frequency column has

their own point where 1 point represent 1 time the scale appears in the

questionnaire. For 35 respondents, Always has 103 points, often has 152 points,

sometimes has 256 points, rarely has 205 points, and never has 92 points. To get

the total scores the total points of each scale was multiplied by the scores that has

been set for each of the scale. As the table has shown that the total score for usage

frequency is 2393.

According to Likert Scale, the expected score for 23 statements and 35

respondents is 4025. To figure out in which interval scale the score is categorized,

54
the expected score has to be divided into 5 interval scales so that the total scores

for the usage frequency can be measured through the interval as shown the

following figure:

Topic Domination

This analysis is to figure out what topic was dominated on the use of English

outside the classroom. The topic categories are quick question and respond (QQR),

Greetings (Gr), Discussion (Disc), social media (SM), general conversation (GC),

small talk (ST), and debating (Deb). The table below is data collected during the

research.

The result shows that the topic quick question and respond reach the largest

score, followed by greetings, small talk, general conversation, social media, and

debating. Discussion however reach the lowest score. All the raw scores for the

topic categories will be translated into percentage.

The highest score expected to be given to each statement in the questionnaire

is 5. The number for basic computation to measure how many percent a topic

category dominates the outside-classroom speaking is generated by multiplying the

total statements appear for a category and 35 respondents. The formula to get the

expected score by Likert Scale for 35 respondents was as follows:

Expected score (35 respondents) = Highest Score x Total Respondents

Expected score for QQR = 30 x 35 = 1050

The expected score for Gr = 15 x 35 = 525

The expected score for Disc = 10 x 35 = 350

The Expected score for SM = 15 x 35 = 525

The Expected score for GC = 15 x 35 = 525

The Expected score for ST = 15 x 35 = 525

57
The expected score for Deb = 15 x 35 = 525

4.2 Discussion

This part contains a clear discussion of the whole information that produced

by this research in order to leave a comprehensive understanding about the

matters being studied. All the information that has been produced by this research

was basically took reference from the research questions. This part provides

explanations of the systematical connection and correlation of the four aspects

being studied in this research which originated from the research questions.

The results of the data analysis were aimed to figure out information that

will answer the questions guiding the study. Since there are four research

questions for this study, all the results of the data analysis were classified based

on the research questions. The research findings were in four classifications. First

one discussed about the level of English usage outside the classroom, second one

discussed about the usage frequency of English as outside-classroom language,

third one discussed about topic domination, and the last one discussed about

partnership domination.

The data analysis results have shown that there were some differences

among the outside-classroom languages including Kupang Malay, Bahasa

Indonesia, and English. The biggest percentage for language domination was

given to Bahasa Indonesia with 76.18%, while the smallest percentage was given

for Kupang Malay with 44.98%. English unexpectedly dominates the outside-

67
classroom language in the second place with 58.49%. There were also some

differences for topic domination and partnership domination.

4.2.1 The Level of English Usage Outside Classroom

The level of English usage outside the classroom deals with how

English has any chances to be used as outside-classroom language and how

many of that chances are measured quantitatively. To get the exact number

representing the level of usage, scores have been given to all indicators in the

questionnaire. The given score indicates how big a chance is given by

respondents to certain language.

The calculation result has shown that among three languages asked in

the questionnaire, English reaches the second place in the level of usage with

56.49% from the expected 100%. Bahasa Indonesia in the first place with

76.18% level of usage and Kupang Malay in the third place with 44.98% level

of usage. The following figure shows the achievement level for each language.

This research has revealed that among three languages including

English, Bahasa Indonesia and Kupang Malay, English reached the second

place by 58.49% usage level from 100% expected while Bahasa Indonesia

reached 76.18% and Kupang Malay reached only 44.98% from 100%

expected. The measurement point as the highest level was set to 100%. In the

other word the first research question has been answered that the level of

English usage outside the classroom was 58.49%.

The usage level of English resulted from this research covers three more

aspects including how often English was used, in what topic, and to who

English was spoken. The details of the usage level were expanded into those

aspects.

4.2.2 The Frequency of English Usage Outside Classroom

Derived from the usage level achievement of English quantitatively, a

further explanation was required to comprehend the result qualitatively.

Because any kind of academic property proposed to consumed publicly as an

information should be able to achieve its capability of clarity in understanding.

In relation to how often do English department students speak English

outside classroom, respondents have given their points to 5 scales distributed

to 23 speaking activities as the indicators. The highest scale was always,

followed by often, sometimes, rarely and never. The calculation method was

by counting how many points are given for each scale of each indicator and

69
accumulates the total points given by 35 respondents to 5 scales in 23

indicators. After that the researcher put the total points into the scale interval

of Always to Never as shown in the following figure:

Figure 9 : The result of English usage frequency

Always Often Sometimes Rarely Never

4025 3220 2415 1610 805

2393

In the data collection result, English has 2393 total scores for usage

frequency. According to Likert Scale, by the data interval of 4025 to 805,

English’s score was categorized close to “Sometimes” within the interval

between “Sometimes” and “Rarely”. The analysis result has shown that the

usage frequency of English outside classroom by the English Department

Students of Nusa Cendana University in the interval scale of Always to Never

was between Sometimes to Rarely but closer to sometimes.

In another word the usage frequency of English was low enough. The

writer’s hypothesis had been proved by the accuracy of partially right.

4.2.3 The Speaking Topic Domination of Outside Classroom English

Speaking topic in this research deals with speaking topics represented

by speaking category. There are 7 (seven) speaking topics that have been set

70
in the questionnaire including quick question and respond (QQR), greetings

(Gr), discussion (Disc), social media (SM), general conversation (GC), small

talk (ST), and debating (Deb).

The analysis for topic domination was aimed to find out how a topic

reaches the highest percentage which indicates that the students of English

department mostly speak English outside the classroom in that topic. The

percentage result was calculated from the scores that were given by

respondents to each particular speaking topic which appears in the

questionnaire.

The expected percentage for each topic was set to 100% which indicates

that the respondents always speak English in that topic. The following chart

represent the topic domination based on the result of data analysis.

71
The chart shows that the topic with the largest percentage in English

usage outside classroom was Quick Question and Respond (QQR) as the most

dominated speaking topic with 73.52%. The second place for topic domination

was Greetings (Gr) with 64.76%, followed by Discussion (Disc) with 57.71%

in the third place. Small Talk (ST) and General Conversation (GC) were side

by side with 52.57% for Small Talk in the fourth place and 52% for General

Conversation in the fifth place. Social Media (SM) and Debating (Deb) were

also close to each other with 49.71% for SM in the sixth place and 49.52% for

Deb in the seventh place.

In terms of difficulties, the result of this study has shown that the easier

the speaking activity the more the students prefer to speak. This gives a clue

that most of the English Department students of Nusa Cendana University

speak English outside classroom by the reason of easier to speak. As the

research result has shown that the most difficult speaking activity such as

debating has the lowest percentage.

4.2.4 The Partnership Domination of Speaking English Outside Classroom

Partnership domination deals with the last research question. In this

research, what has been studied on the interlocutor domination of outside-

classroom language was basically to get a description of interaction among

students to their lecturers, students to their colleges and students to other

people using English.

72
This study only took lecturer, colleges, and other people as the

interlocutors. Those three interlocutors were chosen to give limitations on the

possibility of out of researched area since lecturers and colleges were chosen

because the writer wanted to cover more interaction around the campus area.

For the same reason why “Other People” was chosen in general instead of in

details.

The result has shown that the most dominated partner or interlocutor

was lecturer with 66.29%, followed by colleges with 59.07% and other people

with 51.35% as shown in the following chart.

Figure 11 : The result of partnership domination

Lecturers Colleges Other People


The result leaved a clue that English Department students of Nusa

Cendana University speak English outside the classroom mostly by the reason

of comfortable. In another words, they used to speak English outside the

73
classroom when they feel comfortable enough in any circumstances with their

interlocutor. In this case, the circumstance plays an important role in

supporting any English learners especially in Nusa Cendana University to

speak English outside classroom.

In writer’s opinion, the most effective strategy to handle the

uncomfortable feeling is by providing a room to give the students chance to

speak English especially outside classroom. This needs a policy from the

authorities. Because basically, the students wanted to speak English outside

classroom as proved in the result from the analysis of form 3 questionnaire.

The result shown that the students’ answer for the question “Do you know that

using English outside the classroom can improve your speaking ability?” was

mostly Yes.

4.2.5 Why Speak English Outside Classroom?

Anyone may argue that why should they speak English outside

classroom? Is it not enough if they just study English inside classroom? The

answer for those questions was speaking ability is not enough to be studied in

the classroom, it has to be practice in the real context.

Other findings of this study were related to students’ knowledge of the

benefits of English usage outside classroom, agreement, and purposes of using

English outside classroom as the strategy to improve speaking skill.

74
The analysis result in form 3 has shown that when respondents were

asked the first question about their knowledge of the benefits of using English

outside classroom that can improve their speaking ability, most of the students’

answer was Yes. The data interval has shown that in the interval of Yes to

Know, the respondents answer was stood in between Yes and Yes with

exception but very close to Yes.

The third question and fourth question were asked to figure out whether

the respondents use English outside classroom in purpose to improve their

speaking ability or for any other purposes. When the respondents were asked

the third question, the answer was stood in the data interval between Yes and

Yes with exception but this time closer to Yes with exception.

In the contrary, when the respondents were asked the fourth question

regarding to whether the respondents use English outside classroom for any

other purposes, the answer was stood in the data interval between Yes with

exception and No with exception but closer to Yes with exception. The result

of the calculation in the data analysis was shown in the following figures :

4.2.6 Do the Students Agree to Use English Outside Classroom?

An interesting finding of this study was the students’ agreement to use

English outside classroom. This finding indicates that the low of usage level

percentage and usage frequency was not because the students did not want to

speak English but it might be any other causes.

When the respondents were asked the second question in form 3

research questionnaire regarding to their agreement to use English outside the

classroom as the way to improve their speaking ability, the students’ answer

76
was mostly Yes. In the data interval of Yes to No, the students’ answer was

stood in the interval between Yes and Yes with exception but closer to Yes as

shown in the following figure;

Figure 15 : The result of students’ level of agreement

140 105 70 35

Level of Agreement

This research has proved that students were mostly agreed to speak

English outside classroom. This leads to the question; what makes the usage

level and usage frequency low? The most sensible answer was there was no

room for the students where they could fell comfortable to speak using English

outside classroom even with some errors that they might done during the

speaking.

77
CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

5.1 Conclusion

This research has been accomplished, all the data has been gathered and

analyzed based on quantitative methodology. The findings are clear and able to

answer the whole questions on this study. However, conclusion needs to be drawn

in order to clear the answers for this research. Regarding to that, the researcher has

provided some conclusions as the following:

1. The level of English usage on speaking outside the classroom among

three languages including Kupang Malay and Bahasa Indonesia reached

58.49%.

2. The frequency of English usage on speaking outside the classroom in

the scale of always to never was between sometimes and rarely but

closer to sometimes.

3. The students of English department of Nusa Cendana University usually

speak English outside the classroom in the topic of quick question and

respond (QQR) which reached the domination of 73.52% and greetings

(Gr) which reached the domination of 64.76%.

4. The students of English department of Nusa Cendana University usually

speak English outside the classroom with lecturers and colleges as the

78
interlocutor domination reached 66.29% for Lecturers and 59.07% for

colleges.

5.2 Suggestion

Due to the English usage on speaking outside the classroom by the English

department students of Nusa Cendana University is low, the researcher’s

suggestion for the campus especially for the head of English Department to

provide such a room or regulation where the students could be more comfortable

to speak English outside the classroom so that they can practice their speaking

skill since that strategy is considered as the most effective strategy to improve

speaking ability.

The regulation is not proposed to control whether the students speak English

outside classroom or not, but more to create comfortable feeling for the students

to start speak English outside classroom. Even though the English Department

cannot control every single student to speak English outside classroom but since

the students know that they must use English, they could be more comfortable to

speak English.
