ABSTRACT

Annisa Febrianti, 2020. "An Analysis of English Department Students'


Strategies in Learning Speaking Skills at Home". A thesis of The
English Departement Study Program of Tarbiyah and Teacher
Training Faculty State Islamic Institute of Palopo. Supervised by:
Jufriadi, Muhammad Iksan.

This research attempted to find out the speaking learning strategies used by the
fifth semester students of English Education Study Program of IAIN Palopo. This
research applied the descriptive quantitative method. The researcher used the
Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) questionnaire conducted by
Oxford (1990) that was translated into Bahasa Indonesia and adapted by
Muhammad Iksan (2015) to find out the learning strategies used by students. This
research population were the students in the fifth semester of English Education
Study Program of IAIN Palopo. The sample was taken by using purposive
sampling technique. The number of the sample were 30 students. The data
analysis showed that students used all of the six learning categories of Oxford
strategies; memory strategies, cognitive strategies, compensation strategies,
metacognitive strategies, affective strategies, and social strategies. But for the
most frequently used strategies were metacognitive strategies with mean score
was 4.09. The reason was because metacognitive strategies is a flexible learning
strategies for students and help them to become independent leaners. The students'
types as the Language Learning Strategies user categorized as the medium user
with the mean score was 3.48 with 18 students classified as the high user learners,
12 students classified in the medium level, and none of the students classified as
the low user.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

English has increasingly become the medium for every field of

communication in this era of globalization. As an outcome, there is a demand in

every country for speakers who can use English effectively. It makes English

recognized as a Universal Language, and as the second language in many

countries around the.world.

Speaking is considered an essential skill among the four keys to language

abilities that must be mastered to learn a new language. Mastering speaking skills

is the single most important component of learning a foreign language for most

individuals. In terms of success, the ability to maintain a conversation in that

language is evaluated1.

Speaking is an essential part of daily interaction and sometimes become

the first factor that people use to determine their English ability. The interest of

students in learning the second language is influenced by context and how the

teacher teaches them. Therefore, if the teacher wants to improve the language

mastery of the students, they must be aware of the circumstances of the students

and create a supportive learning environment in the classroom. The teacher should

motivate the students to conciously speak while teaching speaking. Students will

Hall International, Ltd, 1991).

be motivated to speak if they feel interested2.

Teachers' roles in the classroom are essential to determine whether the

students are motivated or less motivated in learning. To achieve the teaching

goals, Teachers need to be more concerned about every aspect that might help to

motivate students in learning, like what they want and need.

Based on current conditions, it is quite hard for students to depend only on

the teacher in learning English. As the spreading of Covid-19 comes as a

pandemic, there are significant changes in many aspects of human life, especially

in the education aspect. In Indonesia, the government makes a regulation for

education where the teaching and learning process has to do from home. It forces

students to learn many things independently from home because the new learning

system can't provide perfect learning as the regular system does.

It goes the same for English Department Students of IAIN Palopo. As the

major is English study, students have to improve their four skills that need to be

mastered in English, which are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. For the

speaking aspect, there are difficulties in learning alone from home because it

needs more interaction than the other three skills, so the students have to look for

other strategies where they still can improve their speaking skills even by learning

independently from home.

According to the problem above, the researcher tries to find out the

strategies used by English Department Students in learning Speaking skills at

home. These strategies might be different from each of the students, so it can be a

useful reference for others who finds struggles in learning from home, especially

in learning speaking skills.

B. Research Question

Based on the problem discussed in the background above, the researcher

formulates the research question as follows:

1. What are the strategies used the most by the students in learning

speaking skills at home?

2. What are the reason students choose the learning strategies?

3. What types of users are the students in using the speaking skills

strategies at home?

C. Objective of the Research

Concerning the statement of problems above, the researcher states the

specific objectives of the research, as follows:

1. To find out the strategies used the most by the students in learning

speaking skills at home.

2. To find out the reason student choose the learning strategies

3. To find out what types of users are the students in using the speaking

skills strategies at home.

D. Significance of The Research

The findings of this research are expected to be theoretical and practical

references, as follows :

This thesis expects to provide theoretical information by giving students

new information about strategies that can be used in learning speaking skills at

home. The researcher hopes this research will contribute in the development of the

education aspect.

Furthermore, this research can be practical information for all students too

as an alternative model on learning speaking independently at home by trying the

different strategies that might help to improve students speaking skills after

applying the strategies. And also that students can have a new experience in

learning English. Besides, this research can also be a practical reference for

lecturers or teachers in teaching and motivate them to be more creative in teaching

English, especially speaking.

E. Definition of Key Terms

a. Speaking

Speaking is an interactive meaning-building process involving the

creation of reception and processing of information3.

help them understand, learn, or maintain new data 4.

F. Scope of The Research

To focus on the study, the researcher limits the study on the Students'

strategies in learning speaking skills and the students' type of user in using the

language learning strategies at home. It explains about learning strategies and

speaking skill. This research describes the learning speaking strategies used by the

fifth semester of English Department students of IAIN Palopo.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

A. Previous Related Findings

In this research, the researcher sums up some relevant findings from other

researchers who have conducted previous research concerning learning-speaking

skills strategies.

The first research is "Exploring Students' Learning Strategies in Speaking

Performance" written by Ahmad Wael, Muhammad Nur Ashar Asnur, and

Ibrahim Ibrahim (2018). This research goal was to examine learning strategies

used by learners in speaking performance by using qualitative design. This study

found that the English department students on the third semester often used

memory strategies in learning speaking skills. The second was metacognitive

strategies preceded in the third rank by social strategies. The fourth was affective

strategies, and compensation strategies in the fifth rank, followed by cognitive

strategies in the last rank. Furthermore, the other factors also influence students'

learning strategies in speaking learning, such as psychological factors, the role of

teacher, task, environment, and social factors5.

The second related finding is "Learning Strategies Used by Student of

Acceleration Class in Speaking English at MAN 3 Tulungagung" conducted by

Astrit Itania in 2014. In this research, The researcher used the qualitative method,

and the subject was the 10th-grade students of Acceleration Class at MAN 3

Tulungagung, which consisted of 15 students. The researcher collected the data by

using qualitative interviews, observation, and documentation. As a result, it found

that the student of the acceleration class's strategy is speaking English. To help

their English learning, they used learning speaking strategies because it is more

manageable than other strategies. Hence, they choose speaking strategies and

apply them in daily activities, especially in the classroom6.

The third research is "Analysis of Learning Strategies in Speaking Class at

the Second Grade Students of Senior High School" written by Wendy Wirawan

(2017). The research was conducted in SMAN 1 Binduriang Bengkulu and the

analysis was performed using a qualitative and quantitative approach in which

twenty students from the second grade were selected as a sample. Fifty

questionnaire items were presented to the participants to verify the preference for

the learning strategy. The information was processed and analyzed through

product-moment correlation via SPSS to classify learning strategies most

commonly used by students and to find out the correlation between learning

strategy and the ability of students to communicate. The result showed that the

students used six different language learning strategies, including; meta-cognitive,

memory affective, social, cognitive, and compensation7.

The fourth study is "Students' Learning Strategies for Developing

Speaking Ability" conducted by Sofyan A. Gani, Dian Fajrina, and Rizaldy

Hanifa in 2015. This research study was conducted at SMAN 3 Banda Aceh. The

second-year students at SMAN 3 Banda Aceh who had either low or high

speaking performance results were the subject of this study. This study showed

that the high-performance speaking students had a good compromise when using

all the varieties of learning strategies to enhance their speaking abilities; with low-

performance speaking students, the result was different. In addition, high

performance speaking students have actively and appropriately employed more

learning strategies compared to low-performance speaking students8.

The fifth study was conducted by M. Iksan and Duriani (2015). The title is

"A Survey of Students ' Language Learning Strategies and Their English

Achievement in SMA Negeri 1 Palopo". This research aimed to investigate the

dominant language learning strategies (LLSs) used by students and investigate the

correlation between students' dominant LLSs and their English achievement. This

research population was the students of SMA Negeri 1 Palopo from grade 1 to

grade 3. The total number population is 943 students from whole levels. This

research employed a correlational research method that involves the collection of

data. In collecting the data, the writer used two kinds of instruments, and they are

(1) Adapted Strategy Inventory For Language Learning (SILL) version 7.0 and (2)

English achievement test. The result shows that the students of SMA Negeri 1

Palopo used all the categories of LLSs. The finding also reveals that the high

achiever students in SMA Negeri 1 Palopo are dominantly used both cognitive

strategies and metacognitive strategies. Metacognitive strategies are also the most

Speaking Ability’, Studies in English Language and Education, 2.1 (2015), 16

frequently used strategies by the low achiever students, followed by affective

strategies. The correlation between the dominant LLSs used and students' English

achievement found no statistical correlation between the dominant categories of

LLSs students used with their English achievement9.

The sixth finding is "The Influence of the Economic Students' Motivations

and Language Learning Strategies towards Their English Achievement in STIE

Muhammadiyah Palopo" written by Muhammad Iksan and D. Dirham (2018).

This study involved the first-year students of three study programs in STIE

Muhammadiyah Palopo that analyzed students' motivation and strategies that

students used in English learning by using a correlational research method that

analyzed the relationship between those two factors in English learning

achievement of students. The instruments used are motivation and SILL

questionnaire and also an achievement test of students. As a result, the students

have high motivation to learn English, and the most frequent use strategies are

metacognitive. Besides, both students' motivation and learning strategies

significantly influence their English achievement10.

The last finding is “Language Learning Strategies of Language E-Learners

in Turkey”written by Ekrem Solak and Recep Cakir (2015). The aim of this

research was to asses the language learning strategies by the e-learners and to

understand wether there were any relations between language learning strategies

and English achievement. The Turkish version of Stragey Inventory of Language

Learning (SILL) was used as a data collection instrument. The result revealed that

they preferred to take advantage of metacognitive strategies the most. It also

found that using the language learning strategies had an effect of academic

achievement11.

The research above has something similar in common: the aim is to find

out the strategies used by students in English learning, especially speaking, but

there are some differences in each of the research. The first research explored the

speaking strategies used by students in speaking performance. The second finding

was to focus on students in the acceleration class. The third research analyzed the

learning-speaking strategies and knew the correlation between learning strategy

and students' speaking ability. The fourth research was to differentiate the

strategies using by students who had either low or high speaking performance

results. The fifth finding analyzed the relationship between the students' language

learning strategies and their English achievement. It also presented a brief

description of the language learning strategies and the English achievement of the

students. The sixth finding aimed to find the students' motivation and strategies in

English learning and whether it influences their English achievement. Meanwhile,

the last one also analyzed the correlation between language learning strategies and

English achievement.

In this research, the researcher also aims to find out the strategies used by

students in learning speaking skills. Still, the difference is that in this research, the

researcher focuses the study on the strategies that are not only used at school or

university but also at home, related to nowadays condition where students have to

study from home. And also, this research focuses the subject on English

department students.

B. Theories of Speaking

a. Definitions of Speaking

There are many definitions of speaking stated by different experts, as

follows :

1. Chaney & Burk (1998) stated that speaking is the process of constructing and

communicating meaning in different contexts through verbal and non-verbal

symbols 12.

2. Huebner (1960) defined speaking as someone’s ability to communicate in

everyday life, wether at school or outside. The capacity, mainly neuromuscular

and not an intellectual mechanism, needs several repetitions. Its competence in the

transmission and reception of a message 13.

3. Lado (1961) states speaking as an ability to fluently converse or communicate a

set of ideas14.

4. Tarigan (1985) clarified that speaking is the ability to communicate, tell,

demonstrate, and think about concepts, teach, and feel articulations, sounds, or

phrases15.

12

Allyn and Bacon, 1998).
13

Cambridge University Press, 1960).
14
Robert Lado, Language Testing: The Cinstruction And Use Of Foreign Language Tests, A
Teacher’s Book (London: Longman Group Limited, 1961).
12

From some of the experts' statements above, the researcher can conclude

that speaking is an essential tool for communicating and express our idea in daily

life. It can help us to understand what others intended to say and help us to gain

informations.

b.Aspects of Speaking

Based on the accomplishment, speaking can be divided into two types:

good speaking and poor speaking. Based on the elements of speech, speaking can

be said to be good or poor. Speaking is not simply verbally voicing something.

Students, however, need to learn some speaking elements to have good speaking

abilities.

As proposed by Brown, those aspects are pronunciation, fluency,

vocabulary, and accuracy. Brown refers to the Longman dictionary for the

definition of those four aspects.

The first one, pronunciation explained as the manner in which a spesific

sound or sounds are made. It covers the manner in which speakers create simple

language when they speak. In order to connect efficiently, speakers need to

convey a consistent message to listeners. Teaching pronunciation including stress,

rhyhtm, and intonation is essential in speaking. Fluency, as the standard or state of

becoming fluent, is the next factor. A set of lexemes, consisting of single words,

compound words, and idioms that are commonly used when talking is the third

15
Henry Guntur Tarigan, Pengajaran Semantik (Bandung: Angkasa, 1985).
13

aspect, which is vocabulary . The last aspect is accuracy, explained as an ability

to use proper grammar to generate sentences or utterances.

On the other side, Harris and P says that there are five aspects of language:

pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

Pronunciation is the manner in which words are pronounced. Ones who learns

English as a foreign language has to be able to use the language’s English

pronunciation and other skills. In a language, grammar is a set of laws, or a

system of units and language patterns. The words used in a language are

vocabulary. Without vocabulary, we cannot speak at all. Fluency a parameter of

someone’s speaking level. Someone who has strong fluency can easily and

quickly implement or use the language in the correct language order. The last

element, which is comprehension, denotes the capacity to comprehend the

purpose and generel sense of the speakers. Effective understanding refers to good

comprehension. If someone’s comprehension of language is good, it can influence

their ability to communicate16.

Based on the theories from experts above, the researcher concludes that

some aspects can be determined whether our speaking is good or not; they are

vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and comprehension. These aspects

are essential and correlate to each other, so we can't only master one aspect if we

wanted to be a good speaker. Even there is an aspect which if we don't master it,

we can't speak at all.

C. Review on Learning Strategy

a. The definition of Learning Strategy

Barnwell, O'Malley, and Chamot (1991) note that learning methods are

basic thoughts or habits that people use to help them understand, learn, or

maintain new data17. Oxford (1990:8) also points out that learning strategies are

generally described as practices or processes that the learner selects and employs

conciously (or unconciously) to learn the target language or promote a language

assignment 18 . White (1999) in Hurd & Lewis (2008) states that Learning

strategies are generally described as practices or processes that the learner select

an employs conciously (or unconciously) to learn the target language or to

promote a language assignment 19 . Aside from that, Macaro (2001) defines

Learning Strategies methods, tactics, or international behavior taken by students

to facilitate learning and recall knowledge from both linguistic and content areas.

The language learning process will progress greatly with the use of the right

techniques. Appropriate strategies for language learning contribute to better, faster

language proficiency. In the course of acquiring a language, language learnig

strategies play an important role20.

In conclusion, learning strategies are tools by learners in the processing of

knwoledge to enhance their understanding, learning, or retention of new

information. To solve their language problems and help them understand new

knowledge, learners also use learning strategies.

b. Category of Language Learning Strategies

Many researchers have classified language learning strategies, for example,

by O "Malley and Chamot (1990) and Oxford (1990).

O "Malley and Chamot divide language learning strategies into three main

subcategories: Metacognitive strategy, Cognitive strategy, and Socio-affective

strategy.

a.) Meta-cognitive strategy

Metacognitive strategies are higher-order reasoning abilities that students

use to navigate their language learning. Metacognitive strategies include

preparation after an activity is completed for learning, monitoring, an asseing

learning. Metacognitive strategies go beyond the cognitive process and enable

learners to organize their learning. It allows them to effectively schedule their

language learning. O'Malley and Chamot also divided Metacognitive Strategies

into three sets of strategies: centering your learning, arranging and planning your

learning, and evaluating your learning. The aim of centering learning is to focus

on the learner to direct toward certain language activities or skills. Arranging and

planning to learn helps learners organize to get the maximum benefit from their

energy and effort. Evaluating learning helplearners with issues such as error

monitoring and progress evaluation.


16

1. Advance Organizers

It previews the key ideas and principles of the content to be learned by

skimming the text for the guiding principle. For instance, before they go into class,

students review.

2. Directed Attention

It decides to participate in a learning task in general and ignore irrelevant

distractors in advance.

3. Functional Planning

It is preparing and rehearsing the required components of linguistic to

execute an upcoming language mission. A student, for instance, makes a review of

the materials to prepare for the final test.

4. Selective Attention,

It chooses to answer particular aspect of input, often by searching for

keywords, definitions, or linguistic markers. For starters, it help to memorize the

dialogue by choosing the familliar topic to practice English orally or by writing

some important words.

5. Self-Management

recognizes and circumstances that support students and coordinate the

life of those circumstances. For instance, while studying in the classroom or

outside class, the students create a clam condition.

6. Self-Monitoring

During listening or reading, it test one’s understanding or verivies the

consistency and appropriateness of one’s moral or written development while it


17

takes place. For instance, when they memorize something, the students ask their

friens to check the correct and the wrong words.

7. Self-evaluation,

After it has been done, it tests the effects of one’s language learning

against a standard. The students try to talk to international visitors, for instance,

for practice speaking skill.

Metacognitive strategies apply to the actions of learners in concentrating,

organizing, preparing and measuring their learning. Metacognitive strategies

include (a) paying attention; (b) delaying the production of speech to focus on

listening; (c) organizing; (d) setting priorities and goals; (e) preparation for

language tasks; (f) self-monitoring; and (g) self assesment.

b.) Cognitive strategy

Cognitive methods include the use of various techniques to recall new

terms and phrases, the deduction of grammar rules, the application of previous

laws by learners, the guessing of the meaning of unfamiliar words, and the use of

different ways to arrange more knowledge and relate the new information to the

language previously studies, operate directly on incoming information,

manipulating it in ways that enhance learning. Cognitive strategies also divided

into four sets by O’Malley and Chamot: practice, receive, and send messages,

evaluate and reason, and construct the input an output structure. The most

important thing is repetition, which can be done by repeating, enganging with

sounds, and using pattern. When learners attempt to find the main idea by

skinning and scamming, receiving and sending messanges are used. Adult learners
18

typically use techniques for assesing and reasoning. These are used to

comprehend the essence of the target language. These are to make new

expressions as well.

1. Resourcing Translation

It uses target language referenge materials in the target language,such as

dictionaries, ensyclopedias, or textbooks, as a basis for second language

comprehensioan and development. Students, for example, check in the dictionary

for new words.

2. Repetition

It imitates a model of language, including open practice and silent

rehearsal. The students repeat the pronunciation, for example, before it is

mastered.

3. Grouping

It the grouping of terms, terminology, or concepts according to their

characteristic or significance. Students identify the words with the same meaning

to memorize the words.

4. Deduction

It applies rules based on language analysis to understand or create a

second language or make up rules.

5. Imagery

It uses viusal images to comprehend or recall new knowledge (either

mental or real). For examle, students use an analogy that is relevant to the subject

to memorize more quickly.


19

6. Auditory representation

The sound of an expression, sound, or more prolonged language series is

being designed back in one’s mind. When you try tolearn how to say something,

for instance, talk it first in your head.

7. Keyword method

In the second language, it recalls a new words by (1) defining a familiar

word that sounds like or otherwise resembles the new word in the first language

and (2) creating easily remembered images of any relationship between the

homonym of the first language and the second language’s new word. Identyfing

commons term that students hear, for instance.

8. Elaboration

It applies additional information to previous knowledge, applies different

parts of new data to each other, or creates substansive personal relationships with

new information. Students apply new knowledge to other concepts of memory, for

instance.

9.Transfer

to aid understanding or development, it uses prior linguistic experience or

previous skills. Suppose, for instance, the student speak about something he/she

alreay knows (in English). Al he/she has to do in that case is remember the data

and try to place it in Bahasa Indonesia.


20

10. Inferencing

To guess the meaning of new objects, forecast effects, or fill in the missing

information, it uses available data. The students think of the whole sense of the

expressions, and they can get the meaning of new words.

11. Note-taking

Keywords or concepts are written down while listening or reading in

abbreviated verbal, visual, or numerical form. The students, for example, prepare

a book to collect all the materials when listening to the segment.

12. Summarizing

Making a mental, oral, or written summary of new data gained by listening

or reading.

13. Recombination

By combining new elements in a new manner, it construct a meaningful

sentence or more extensive language sequence.

14. Translation

It uses the first language as a framework for a second language and for

creating it.

c.) Social Affective Strategies

it is a large grouping that includes either contact with another person or

influence over the impact through ideation. They are usually considered

applicable to a wide range o activities. These techniques inclue approaches used

by students to cotnrol their thoughts, motivation, and attitude to language learning.

In learning a language, social-affective techniques are important because language


21

is used in communication, an communication occurs between individuals. The

socio-affective strategies of O’Malley and Chamot are divided into three groups

of strategies: asking question, cooperating with others, and empathizing with

others.

1. Cooperation

It works to solve a problem with peers, to pool information, to check notes,

or to get feedback on a learning activity. Students, for example, work with their

friends to discuss choosing a suitable person.

2.Questioning for clarification

it requires additional explanation, rephrasing, or example of language

learning problems from a teachers or peers. For example, stuents ask their friends

or private teachers for the correct pronunciation.

3. Empathizing with others

It means putting yourself in the role of someone else to understand the

point of view of another person. To improve cultural awareness an become

mindfulof the thoughts and feeling of others, learners may use social srategies.

Affective strategies refer to how learners can minimize their anxieties, control

their movement, and how they motivate their learning, based on the description.

Social strategies refer to learner's activities involving other people, such as asking

questions to their teacher or their colleagues, cooperating with peers, and asking

for a correction.

On the other side, Oxford introduced strategies inventory for language

learning (SILL). This inventory classifies the general language learning strategies
22

(LLS) that learners employ to help them learn a new language. These LLS

classified into six types, as follows :

a.) Memorization Strategies

To more efficiently remember and pass knowledge required for potential

language usage, memorization techniques are used. Memorizaton enbale the

learners to retain essential memory data obtained from their learning. If the data is

needed for future use, these methods allow the students to get the data back. For

example, the semantic map of a group of nouns or verbs shows the relationship

between the words.

b.) Cognitive Strategies

Cognitive strategies help students use all their mechanisms to corretcly

manipulate the target language or task. These include logic, interpretation, an

conclusion. Drills, for instance, are used to learn the language and to identy

challenging words using a dictionary.

c.) Compensation Strategies

The students employ compensation strategies because of a lack of

vocabulary to compensate fot the missing information in the target language. Even

when the vocabulary is limited, the strategies help students use the language to

talkand write in the target language. Using linguistic cues to guess, for example,

compensate for their lack of vocabulary.


23

d.) Metacognitive Strategies

by focusing, scheduling, preparing, and assesing their learning, students

use metacognitive strategies to organize the elarning process. This allows learners

to regulate their learning. Students may also plan and adjust what theur learning

methids should be and wether they are not acceptable. For example, overviewing

with already known material and deciding in advance on what to pay attention to.

e.) Affective Strategies

Affective strategies are tools for helping students to regulate their

thoughts, emotions, motivations, and beliefs. Such methods have strong effect on

language learning because they help students to control their emotions. Studens,

for example, may use laughter to relax and celebrate their accomplishment to

reward themselves.

f.) Social Strategies

Social Strategies are practices in which students seek opportunities to be

exposed to an atmosphere in which it is possible to practice. These strategies are

important because other indiviuals are often interested in language learning; it is a

social behavior.

Oxford taxonomy of language learning strategies divides these strategies

into two main classes, direct and indirect strategies, according to their contribution

to the process of language learning. The first class is the direct strategy employed

by language learners. Direct strategies include memorization, cognitive, and

compensation strategies. Indirect strategies include metacognitive, affective, and

social strategies.
24

D. Learning Speaking Strategy

Speaking is a way of interacting with other people; in monologues or

dialogues, it can be achieved. Thus, speaking in human life is important because

without interacting with other people, humans can not naturally live. Speaking is a

part of everyday life that individuals take for granted. Ten of thousands of words a

day are produced by the average individual. Some people, however, such as

auctioneers or politicians, may make it even more than natural and integral

because people forget how they once struggled to achieve this ability, until they

have to learn how to do it all over again in a foreign language 21.

Many English students complain that even though they understand English,

they do not feel secure enough to engage in a conversation. There are many

explanations for this, incluing the effort to translate student from their native

language to English. Due to nervousness, lack of trust, ect., output blocking

accurs. Rather than using plain words to explain what it means, the speaker is

searching for particular phrase. In or outside the class, there are not enough

conversation opportunities. The training for the exam only focuses on grammar,

vocabulary, and leave no time for constructive use. To be fluent in speaking

English, many individuals whose mother tongue is not English need to learn more.

In learning to speak, several strategies might be useful in improving

students' speaking skill, as the research results that conducted by researchers in

previous findings, as follows :

21
Scott Thornburry, How to Teach Speaking. (Essex: Stenton Associates, 2005).
25

The first one is a cooperation strategy. It found that students use this

strategy to improve their speaking ability. To improve their ability to

communicate, the key point is the activities of the students, especially their

English communication practices. According to the result, the students try to ask

their peers to help them memorize sentences or vocabularies in speaking skills.

The second strategy is a memory strategy. This strategy uses an auditory

and visual connection to get some information to make students remember some

vocabulary, making them easy to learn to speak. Students watched the movies

that used English as the first language and watched a tutorial video about speaking

English on YouTube and remembering some vocabularies from the video.

The other strategy that might be effective to use is the metacognitive

strategy. Students can use this strategy to overcome the difficulties that appeared

during their speaking preparation and enhanced their confidence in speaking

English.

In brief, there are plenty of strategies that might be useful in speaking

learning. Not only has mentioned above, but students can also make the strategy

to help them understand and be compatible with their condition. In case each

student's condition is different, it is an important way first to understand what kind

of strategy they need and enjoy, especially by learning speaking at home. Because

they have to learn independently at home, it makes them more flexible in

choosing the strategy that might be useful for themselves.


CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter describes the research method, population, sample,

instrument of the research, and data analysis technique.

A. Research Design

This research used a descriptive quantitative method to answer the

questions of the study. Descriptive quantitative choose due to the study's aim,

which is to find out the strategies used by students collected through the

questionnaire and the calculation presented in the table.

B. Population and Sample

1.Population

The population of this research were the English Department students in

the fifth semester of IAIN Palopo. The researcher chooses the fifth semester based

on consideration that they have got enough experience in learning speaking. The

total numbers of the population were 152 students.

2. Sample

Sample is part of the population that can represent all of the population. In

this case, the researcher used purposive sampling technique, which described as a

random selection of sampling units within the population segment with the most

26
27

information on interest characteristics22. This technique determines the research

sample with specific considerations to make the data obtained more representative.

In this research, the researcher used a characteristic of choosing the sample, which

has good motivation to learn English, especially speaking, so the researcher

focused this study on D class. The sample of this research were 30 students from

D class.

C. Instrument of the Research

1. Questionnaire

The first instrument on this research was questionnaire. Questionnaire is a

technique of collecting data by delivering or distributing a questionnaire to the

respondent to respond to the questionnaire. For the questionnaire in this research,

the researcher used The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) to

assess the Learners' Language Learning Strategies (LLSs). It was developed by

Oxford (1990) that was translated into Bahasa Indonesia and adapted by

Muhammad Iksan (2015). Several items were selected as instruments for

assessing the learners' language learning strategies in improving their speaking

skills. The questionnaire will be accessed by a student from google form. The

questionnaire consisted of six parts: (a) remembering more effectively (memory

strategies), (b) using mental processes (cognitive strategies), (c) compensating for

missing knowledge (compensation strategies), (d) organizing and evaluating

28

learning (metacognitive strategies), (e) managing emotions (affective strategies),

and (f) learning with others (social strategies). The SILL"s 5-point scale was

ranged from "never" to "always". The overall average indicated how often the

learner tended to use the learning strategies in general, while the averages for each

part of the SILL showed which strategy group(s) the learner tended to use most

frequently.

2. Interview

This research used a stuctured interview, which is one of the data

collection technique where researcher gives the same question to each respondent.

In this research, the researcher asked several of the chosen respondents about the

reasons of choosing the learning strategies which they have filled in the

questionnaire.

D. Procedure of Collecting Data

The Procedure for collecting the data is arranged in the following steps:

1. The researcher explained how to fill the questionnaire.

2. The researcher distributed the link to access the questionnaire.

3. The researcher collected the questionnaire filled by students, analyzed it, and

made conclusions as the research results.

E. Technique of Data Analysis

After collecting the data, the researcher analyzed the data with the

following steps:

1. Processed the data gained through questionnaires by using Microsoft Excel.

Each of the students' result were tabulated in the following table:

2. Calculated the data of questionnaire gained through Microsoft excel through the

Statistical Packages for the Social Science (SPSS) Version 20. Descriptive

statistics including frequencies, means, standard derivation, and ranking were

implemented to investigate the data and the use of language learning strategies.

3. Writing report. The writer presented the data from the questionnaire in the form

of table. Then, in the data discussion, the writer discussed the result.
CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS

A. Findings

This chapter focuses on presenting the findings of the research based on

the result of the questionnaire. In other words, this chapter presents the answer of

the research question. Besides, it also presents the discussion based on the related

theories to clarify the findings.

As explained in the previous chapter, the researcher used a questionnaire

to collect the data, which are grouped into memory strategy(A), cognitive

strategy(B), compensation strategy(C), metacognitive strategy(D), affective

strategy(E), and social strategy(F).

Based on the table above, for memories strategies, the students choose

"remember new English words or phrases by remembering their location on the

page, on the board, or a street sign" as the most frequent strategy used (MEM9).

The least chosen strategy is to "use a flashcard to remember new English words"

(MEM6).

Based on the result of the cognitive strategies above, it shows that

students' most used strategy is "practice the sound of the English words" (COG12).

And for the least frequently used strategy is "start a conversation in English"

(COG14).
37

3.) Compensation Strategies

Table 4.4 The Result of Compensation Strategies

COMP28 30 1 5 3.53 1.07 4

COMP29 30 1 5 4.03 1.06 2

For compensation strategies, students mostly choose "use gestures"

(COMP25). Furthermore, in the least strategy used, they choose "read English

without looking up every new word" (COMP27).

META37 30 3 5 4.57 0.67 4

META38 30 3 5 4.67 0.66 2

As we can see from the table of the metacognitive strategies above, it

shows that students tend to use "pay attention when someone is speaking English"

(META32). The least strategy used is "look for opportunities to read as much as

possible in English" (META36).


39

5.) Affective Strategies

Table 4.6 The Result of Affective Strategies

AFF43 30 1 5 2.00 1.14 6

AFF44 30 1 5 2.73 1.28 5

Based on the table above, for affective strategies, the students mostly use

"encourage oneself to speak English" (AFF40) as the frequent strategy used. On

the other hand, students choose "write down their feeling in a language learning

diary" (AFF43) as the least strategy used.


40

6.) Social Strategies

Table 4.7 The Result of Social Strategies

SOC49 30 2 5 3.00 0.74 4

SOC50 30 1 5 3.07 1.31 3

For the social strategies, learners prefer to "ask the other person to slow

down or say it again" (SOC45) strategy. Furthermore, most students choose "ask

for help from the English speaker" (SOC48) as the least strategy used.

Besides the result from each of the strategies category used, the researcher

also analyzes the most frequently used strategies from a total of 50 questions, as

shown in the table below:


41

Table 4.8 The Result of Most Frequently Used Individual Strategies

COG12 30 4.57 0.62

META37 30 4.57 0.67

META31 30 4.27 0.94

The result shows five individual strategies chosen under the metacognitive

strategies and one individual strategy chosen under the cognitive strategies. After

analyzing the individual strategies used by students, the result of the most

frequently used strategies among six groups of language learning strategies will

show in the table below:

Table 4.9 The Result of Most Used Strategies Category

From the result above, it can be seen that social and memory language

learning strategies are the least frequently used by the students. On the other hand,

the highest scores occur in metacognitive strategies, and the second-highest scores

occur in compensation strategies. But it shows that students use all of the six

categories of strategies in learning speaking skills at home. However, even though

the students use all of the LLSs, the frequency of each student in using the LLSs

at home are various, as shown in the table below:

Mean Score : 3.48 (Medium User)

As shown from the data above, from 30 students who filled the

questionnaire, 18 students were classified as high user learners, 12 students were

classified as medium users, and none were classified as low users. The mean score,
44

which is 3.48, shows that students are the medium user of language learning

strategies.

B. Discussions

In this subchapter will be discussed about the findings. The findings have

shown the result of the strategies used by English Department Students in learning

speaking and the students type of user in using the speaking skill strategies.

As stated by Oxford, there are six categories of learning strategies, which

are Memory Strategies, Cognitive Strategies, Compensation Strategies,

Metacognitive Strategies, Affective Strategies, and Social Strategies. The result

from the finding shows that students used all of the six strategies classified by

Oxford. Still, metacognitive strategies are the most frequently employed strategies

among the other five categories, followed by compensation strategies, cognitive

strategies, affective strategies, social strategies, and memory strategies at last.

The popularity of metacognitive strategies were supported with the data on

the result, which shows that the mean score of metacognitive strategies is 4.09 and

also five individual strategies of metacognitive placed in the six most used

strategies from the total of 50 strategies from the questionnaire with the mean

score is 4.27 and above. The six frequently used strategy were (1) paying

attention when someone is speaking English, (2) thinking about the progress in

learning English, (3) trying to find out how to be a better learner of English, (4)

practicing the sounds of English, (5) having clear goals for improving the English

skills, and (6) noticing the English mistakes and use that information to do better.
45

The six popular strategies used show that students tend to monitor their learning

process and evaluate what and how well they had learned.

Based on the interview with several students about the reason why did

they choose metacognitive strategies as the most used learning speaking strategies

at home, it found that students are more comfortable to choose their own way of

learning and they feel that metacognitive strategies are flexible and suitable for

that. They prefer to seek new methods of learning, which according to them can

help in improving their speaking skills. Besides that, according to the conditions

of this pandemic, their socialization are limited. Therefore they must be able to be

independent in learning. That is the reason they prefer to mostly use

metacognitive strategies in learning speaking from home.

The other found was the types of students as the user of the LLSs, which

showed that Eglish Department students on the fifth semester of IAIN Palopo is

the medium user of the LLSs, presented in table 4.10 with the mean score is 3.48

that categorized students as the medium user.

This research's findings were systemically related to the earlier researches

about English learning strategies associated with the previous research findings.

Among seven of the previous related researches, all of the findings show that the

six categories of LLSs were all used by the students. On the other hand, there are

also differences between this research's findings and several previous researches.
46

Wael et al., (2018) ; Itania (2014) have contrast finding with this research.

The result shows that students frequently used memory strategies in their learning.

It explained that students commonly use imagery and visual connection. The other

reason is students think that memory strategies are the straightforward strategies

to use. With memory strategies, they can control their speaking design properly.

They can memorize a variety of vocabulary quickly, and it makes them easier to

talk because they can capture what their friends are talking about. Besides, they

can apply the strategy in daily activities, such as watching a movie, and it is easier

to remember the vocabulary from the movie that they can use when they are

speaking.

Wirawan (2017) ; Gani et al., (2015) ; Iksan & Duriani (2019) ; Iksan &

Dirham (2018) ; Solak and Cakir (2015) ; Nisbet et al., (2005) Chayma et al.,

(2018) have similar finding with this research about the frequently used

strategies, which are metacognitive strategies. It showed that metacognitive

strategies tend to be popular and the most used strategies by students.

Metacognitive strategies categorized as "centering your learning, arranging and

planning your learning and evaluating your learning." Metacognitive strategies,

therefore, facilitate learners to self-control to their learning process. If they feel

what they have planned doesn’t work well, they might re-organize according to

the best fit. It shows that there is a clear link between being an independent

English learner and metacognitive strategies (Manzanares, 1985).

CHAPTER V

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

A. Conclusions

Based on the findings and discussions in the previous chapter, it can be

concluded that:

1. The English Department Students on the fifth semester of IAIN Palopo, in the

process of learning speaking at home, using all of the learning strategies

conducted by Oxford (1990), which are: memory strategies, cognitive strategies,

compensation strategies, metacognitive strategies, affective strategies, and social

strategies. But for the most used strategies category were metacognitive strategies

with mean score 4.09 followed with compensation strategies in the second place

with mean score 3.68, then cognitive strategies with mean score 3.49, affective

strategies with mean score 3.31, social strategy with mean score 3.12, and the

least used learning strategies were memory strategies with mean score 3.06.

Metacognitive strategies became the most popular strategy used; it showed that

students tend to arrange and plan their English learning, especially speaking.

Nowadays, students have to study at home, so they have to find the best way to

keep practicing and learning to develop their speaking skills independently at

home.

2. The reason students choose metacognitive strategies are because they feel it as

a flexible learning strategies for learning speaking at home. With nowadays

condition where the sosialication are limited, students have to become an


48

independent learner, and they assume that metacognitive are suitable for that

because they can arrange and make plan with their own way of learning.

3. The English Department Students on the fifth semester of IAIN Palopo shown

as the medium user of the Language Learning Strategies (LLSs). Because, as

explained previously, students used all of the learning strategies and also the data

shows that the mean score of 30 students in the using of the LLSs is 3.48 which

categorized them as the medium user. It means that students keep trying to find a

way to practice their speaking skills at home.

B. Suggestions

It is essential to use the various learning strategies in the process of

learning a foreign language. Because learning itself is not easy to do, the students

can choose the best strategies that fit them well and improve their skills in

learning a foreign language, especially learning English. As related to nowadays

condition where students have to study at home, they have to keep practicing their

English, especially for English department students because they major in English

education program, so they have obligations to master English.

The lecturers, especially of the English Education Study Program of IAIN

Palopo, have to be more concerned about students' needs. They must know about

the students' characteristics in learning English to apply a suitable method for

students. Besides, with nowadays conditions where the teaching and learning

process is held from home, the lecturers have to monitor the students' learning

process and help them overcome their difficulties, give a clear explanation,

solution, and example for the learning strategies.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS

A. Question: Berdasarkan hasil dari questionnaire tentang strategi belajar

speaking dari rumah, metacognitive strategy menjadi strategi yang paling banyak

di gunakan. Metacognitive sendiri merujuk kepada peningkatan kesadaran belajar

dengan memantau, merancang, dan merefleksikan proses belajar. Apa alasan anda

memilih lebih banyak menggunakan strategi tersebut dalam belajar speaking dari

rumah?

B. Answer

Respondent I: Jadi alasanku kenapa pakai strategi metakognitif, karena

menurut saya.. eh, itu toh lebih mudah untuk saya. Lebih mudah untuk saya

belajar bahasa Inggris karena bisaka atur diriku sendiri. Karena lebih saya suka

saya temukan caraku sendiri untuk belajar dibandingkan eh.. orang lain yang atur

ka begitu. Karena saya yang akan belajar, saya yang berusaha pahami jadi lebih

kusuka cari caraku sendiri. Kayak itu yang poin “memperhatikan kesalahan saya

dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan informasi tersebut untuk

menjadi lebih baik”, eh seringka kayak misalnya kudapat eh sesuatu dari buku, oh

ternyata begini pale yang betulnya, selama ini yang saya bilang salah. Biasa saya

terapkan ke diri ku, oh berarti kalau begini ka tidak boleh ka lagi bilang begitu.

Terus, selaluka sebenarnya cari cara untuk menjadi seorang pembelajar bahasa

Inggris yang lebih baik, dan lewat apa postingan postingan di ig tentang akun-

akun bahasa Inggris biasa saya ambil kalau main ig ka. Kulihat lagi ada informasi-

informasi atau materi-materi yang bisa berguna untuk saya. Terus eh, ada itu poin
yang saya mengatur jadwal agar saya memiliki waktu yang cukup untuk belajar

bahasa inggris, karena kan sibuk ka toh diwarung ka biasa, jadi saya cari sendiri

curi curi waktu begitu. Saya siasati dengan itumi dengan baca kayak yang ada

bahasa Inggrisnya, even tidak saya tau apa artinya atau tidak pahamka, yang

penting saya baca. Paling tidak adalah satu dua kata yang bisa saya serap begitu.

Menurutuku ini cara yang efektif untuk saya belajar karena, eh waktunya itu lebih

fleksibel. Bisaka atur sendiri waktu ku, terus lebih gampang saya cerna begitu.

Respondent II: jadi alasanku pilih metakognitif itu karena selama belajar

dari rumah itu lebih sedikit waktuta untuk bersosialisasi, jadi haruski pilih sendiri

cara ta untuk belajar bahasa Inggris, apalagi speaking. Jadi dari situ metakognitif

menurutku yang paling cocok karena sesuai dengan kebutuhanku sebagai

mahasiswa bahasa Inggris. Kayak misalnya ada itu poin yang saya selalu berfikir

tentang perkembangan saya dalam belajar bahasa Inggris, itu karena ada tujuan

yang mauka capai, yaitu tingkatkan speaking ku, makanya kalau tidak

perkembangan itu saya selalu cari cara lain lagi dalam belajar yang lebih cocok

sama saya.

Respondent III: oke jadi perkenalkan nama saya A. Huzni, saya dari

kelas Big D semester 5. Jadi eh kenapa saya memilih metode metakognitif karena

saya merasa bahwa saya suka untuk mencoba segala cara, mencoba segala

metode-metode yang saya fikir cocok untuk saya. Saya suka mencoba hal-hal

yang baru. Maka dari itu saya selalu mencari tahu apa yang saya fikir cocok

dengan saya. Nah juga em, saya tidak bisa belajar bahasa Inggris secara monton,

maka dari itu saya menggunakan cara metakognitif, karena metakognitif kesannya
lebih fleksibel dan juga eh, lebih ke kognitif. Lebih ke metode belajar yang selain

dari, yang kinestetik maksud saya. Maka dari itu saya memilih metode

metakongnitif. Terimakasih.

Respondent IV: jadi ada beberapa hal atau beberapa alasan saya memilih

strategi metakognitif. Yang pertama saya sangat sengang mendengarkan

percakapan bahasa Inggris, baik itu ketika dilakukan oleh diri saya sendiri

maupun ketika dilakukan oleh orang lain. Karena dari hal tersebut saya bisa

melihat ekspresi, saya dapat mendengarkan pronounciation, dan juga saya dapat

mempelajari ciri khas dari masing masing orang ketika melakukan percakapan

bahasa Inggris. Nah hal ini lebih mempermudah saya untuk mengingat vocabulary,

mengingat sentence yang pernah mereka katakan. Berbeda halnya ketika saya

hanya melihat teks tanpa melihat ekspresi dan juga mengengarkan pronounciation.

Nah yang kedua, eh saya sangat senang mencari metode-metoe baru dalam sistem

pembelajaran bahasa Inggris. Sebagai contoh, eh saya membuat sebuah akun

dimana akun tersebut hanya memfollow kegiatan-kegiatan bahasa Inggris. Atau

kegiatan kegiatan yang dapat mengimprove kemampuan saya dalam bahasa

Inggris. Hal ini sangat berguna karena sebagian besar waktu saya di zaman online

sekarang lebih banyak berselancar di dunia maya, lebih banyak melakukan

kegiatan googling, dan sebagainya. Jadi eh meskipun saya melakukan kegiatan

bersosial media dalam waktu yang lama, ada hal-hal yang dapat saya pelajari.

Walaupun itu hanya sepatah dua kata, tapi itu dapat mengimprove dan juga

menambah wawasan saya dalam berbahasa Inggris. Yang ketiga, saya juga selalu

berfikir tentang perkembangan saya dalam bahasa Inggris. Bagaimana saya


kedepannya, bagaiman eh bobot saya kedepannya, saya sangat memperhatikan itu,

jadi saya selalu mengoreksi hal hal yang keliru pada diri saya. Saya selalu mencari

metode-metode baru, mencari hal-hal baru, yang kiranya dapat menambah dan

juga memerbaiki kemampuan saya dalam bahasa Inggris. Eh saya rasa sekian,

terimakasih.

Respondent V: jadi alasan saya memilih strategi metakognitif yaitu

karena saya orang yang cenderung tidak bisa menerima pelajaran dengan baik

ketika saya tidak merasa nyaman dengan cara belajar saya. Saya cenderung lebih

menyukai cara belajar yang saya dapatkan sendiri dan saya akan mecarinya

sendiri. Mulai dari mencari sendiri makna kata yang tidak saya pahami di google,

atau mencari teknik-teknik berbahasa Inggris yang baik di internet ataupun

menonton video yang dapat menunjang bahasa Inggris saya di youtube.
