Based

on experience through Teaching Training Program (PPL) Students have much memory about grammar and vocabulary but have less confidence in speaking because they are lack of practicing speaking Students are ashamed to speak because they are afraid that sentences are used incorrectly and their friends laughed on their speaking

 The

effect of applying communicative activities on the students speaking ability The students speaking ability tought by applying communicative activities

C . The Scope and Limititation

In this research, the writer just focuses on pair work activity because there are many benefits that students will get by doing pair work activities, such as: more communication will take place; motivation can be high, build students confidence, and develop other skills.

 Based

on the background of the study, the problem is formulated as follows: Does Communicative Activities significantly affect on students speaking ability?

E. The Objective of The Study

The objective of the study is to investigate the significant effect of applying communicative activities on students speaking ability.

 Increasing

the students confidence in using English, especially in speaking ability Enriching the teach creativity in applying the various techniques in the order to make the class room atmosphere lively and interesting.

 This

research will be conducted at SMP Swasta Galih Agung Pesantren Darul Arafah Raya.The location of research is at Jl. Lau Bakeri Deli Serdang, Medan Tj. Sari. This research will carry out the seventh year sudents 2013/2014. This students are choosen because other researcher has never been conducted yet in this school and also the location in term fund and time is accessible one.

 The

population of this research will be taken from the 2012/ 2013 seventh year students of SMP which is consisted of 34 students in 2 parallel classes. The number of population is shown in table Table I
Class V II - 1 V II - II Total Population 34 34 68 Sample 34 34 68

 Based

on the total population, the population will be regarded as the sample. It is based on the statements of Arikunto ( 2006 : 134 ) states just for the assumption, so if the subjects are less than 100, it is better to take all the subject so the researcher is called population research . Then, if the number of subjects are greater, it can take the range from 10 % - 15% or 20 % - 25% or more. Based on the quotation, the researcher will take all the students or it will be equal 100 % from the whole population.

 This

study will be conducted by using an experimental design with two groups. They will be experimental and control groups. Experimental group will be the group that receives treatment by using communicative activities, while the control group will be the group that receives treatment by without using communicative activities. The design of research can be drawn as follow:

This study will use test as the instrument to collect data in which the teacher makes interview test. The researcher will ask the students to pick a paper from a box that consisted of ten diffrent names and then the students are interviewed individually. This test is given in order to know students vocabulary, structure, fluency, and pronunciation. For this study, pre-test an post-test are given to both experimental and control group. In scoring the students answer, the researcher will use a clarks FSI (Foreign Services Institute) Weighting in Lubis (1988: 89) that gives the heaviest emphasis to structure, secondary emphasis to vocabulary, and least emphasis to pronunciation. Each criteria score is described below:

Proficient Description Structure Vocabulary Fluency

 In

teaching presentation,the sample is divided into two groups. First group is experimental group which is taught by using communicative activities (pair work). Second group is control group which is taught without using communicative activities. Pre test Post test

Best and Khan (2002: 208) define that the quality of the data gathering instrument or procedure that enables it measure what it is intended to measure. This research will construct validity which is concerned with the extent to which a test will be measured specific trait or construct. The term construct is used to refer to something that is not itself directly measurable but which explained observable effects.

 Reliability

refers to the consistency of the measurement. Arikunto (1988: 170) states that a test can be measured more than one and its result is stabile, it is reliability. This study will use inter-rater reliability to gain the result by calculating the real score from the first rater and the second rater. The interview is recorded, transcribed and assesed by the two different raters. To get the reliability of the test, the writer will use Spearman Brown formula as follows:

Where: N : The number of students X : The total score of rater I Y : The total score of rater II According to Aruan (2007) asserts that reliability of the test can be categorized as follows: 0,0- 0,20 The reliability is very low 0,21- 0,40 The reliability is low 0,41- 0,006 The reliability is fair 0,61- 0,80 The reliability is high 0,81- above The reliability is very high.

Where : Mx :The mean score of experimental group My : The mean score of control group dx2 : The standard deviation of experimental group dy2 :The standard deviation of control group Nx :The total number samples of experimental group Ny :The total number samples of control group
