The Implementation of Talking Football Game Towards Students’ Speaking Skill at Second Semester English

The purpose of this research was to know the students’ speaking ability by implementing Talking Football Game at second semester English Department students of STKIP Dharma Bakti Lubuk Alung. This research was experimental research called One-Shot Case Study which used one class as the sample. The population of this research was second semester English Department students of STKIP Dharma Bakti Lubuk Alung registering in 2014-2015 Academic Year. The data of this research were collected by using oral test. The data were analyzed by t-test formula. From the calculation of the result of the test, it was indicated that t calculate was 3, 22 and t table 2, 02 with a = 0,05. So, it means that t calculate was greater than t table and the hypothesis was accepted. The result of this research showed that Talking Football Game increase students’ speaking ability. It implied that Talking Football Game could be used as a technique of teaching speaking ability at second semester English Department students of STKIP Dharma Bakti Lubuk Alung year of 2014-2015.


A. INTRODUCTION
Speaking is regarded important language skill which is learned by the students as foreign language and second language.The importance of speaking made the researcher paid great attention in teaching it in order to make their students had a good ability.In fact, there were several problems that cause the low of the students' speaking ability.
The first problem was lack of interest of students in speaking.They did not involve in the activity maximally.They felt that speaking were an activity that made them ashamed.They were lazy to speak in front of the classroom even just spoke in their seat.They liked to do other activites better than following the activity in the class.When the teacher asked them to speak or perform their conversation in front of the class, they were just silent while saying that they were not ready yet, they waited untill the time was over.
In the other hand, most of students felt that speaking was very difficult since they had lack of vocabulary, so that, when the teacher asked them to write a dialogue, they spent much time to find the words in dictionary.Consequently, they did not have enough time to do the activity well and they do not know what they spoke because they did not care the sentence in the dialogue whether correct or not.
From those problems, it could be seen that the students' speaking ability were very poor.In fact, students need a good competency which is knowledge, skills, and abilities or capabilities that a person achieves, which become part of his or her being to the extent him or she can satisfactorily perform particular cognitive, affective and psychomotor behaviors.
In this case, the writer was interested in conducting the research by implementing Talking Football Game toward students' speaking ability.According to Harmer (2010:2) Football Game is "ideal for activities that require students to collocate words and make sentences, in this game there are cue words and main texts.Players try to combine a cue words at the side with a main texts in the middle to make sentences".
In applying Talking Football Game, the students were involved in learning activity because the game engaged the students in a group work that guide them through had a competitive thinking by formulating a sentence with combining some clue words.
Thus, this technique encouraged the students to be active and thoughtful learners.The students were guided to understand the vocabulary first before thinking about the sentence they formulates to speak.In addition, through this game, the students' prior knowledge could be activated.

B. METHOD OF THE RESEARCH
This research used experimental called single-group design called one-shot case study, because this research implemented a technique in giving treatment only for one group without giving a pretest.It was supported by Borg and Gall (1989:670) who state that "the oneshot case study hardly qualifies as an experimental design.
Population is the total number of the students in the research.According to Tayie (2005:31), "one goal of scientific research is to describe the nature of a population, that is a group or class of subject, variables, concepts, or phenomena".In this research, the population was the second semester English Department of STKIP Dharma Bakti Lubuk Alung 2014/2015.There are two classes with 25 students for each class.
According to Tayie (2005:32), a sample is a subset of the population that is taken to be representative of the entire population.In this case, the researcher took class A of second semester English Department of STKIP Dharma Bakti Lubuk Alung as the sample of the research.The sample of the research consists of one class namely experiment class.
The data were calculated by using quantitative data in order to measure if the Talking Football Game gives a positive effect towards students' speaking skill by using oral test where the students spoke only one sentence between present tense and present continuous.
Because of this research is Single-group design called one-shot case study, researcher took only one class for giving treatment three meeting, and after that researcher took the students' post-test by using performance test.

C. RESEARCH FINDING
The data of the research was taken from the students' speaking scores before giving treatment and compared with the score of posttest that has been given for the class.The treatment was done during three meetings.The posttest was oral-test in the form of short talk especially simple sentence of simple present and present continuous tense.The students were divided into eight groups, and then every group played the game by two groups in each playing.
In this playing, every group which was playing spoke only one sentence based on the clue that was pointed out by one another group.After getting the clue, one of the members in the group must spoke a sentence, if the student could not spoke up the sentence directly, they were given a chance to write a sentence before spoke.If the sentence was correct, other students would clap their hand, yet if the sentence was not correct, other students would clap once, and then the group got one chance to fix their sentence.If the answer was still correct, they must stop to play, and let another one group played the game.
While students were playing the game, the scorer took their scores by concerning five aspects of speaking, those are: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.Each aspect had its score.The range of possible scores was between 1 and 5.In this research, all of students involved in the playing of the game and achieve a good score for the fifth aspects of speaking that were used by the scorer to measure the skill of the students in speaking by using Talking Football Game, the aspects should be filled by the students were Comprehension, Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Fluency.
By applying this game, students could speak orally and interacted with their friends and had cooperative learning process, another that, students also have known about simple present and present continuous more than just they have known in general.Furthermore, students were also given many new vocabularies that would be important for them in reading a text.
