Abstract
This research applied Classroom Action Research (CAR) to know if Pair-work technique is appropriate used to teach English Conversation. This research was conducted in two cycles of teaching learning activities, it was attained that the students’ ability at speaking could be increased which found the students’ test scores from pre-cycle (before doing treatment) to the second cycle (after the treatment done) increased. In the pre-test denoted that 78.1% (25 students of 32 research subjects) got scores below 70, in the post-test of cycle one was attained 90,6% (29 students of 32 research subjects) got scores 70 up and in the cycle two- post test 93,75% of the students got scores 70 up. This strategy could also drive the students actively taking part in the classroom
Highlights
A Teacher’s thought about teaching - learning process will certainly have impacts on the way he teaches
An appropriate technique will affect on class activities in speaking class, Traditional teaching technique will lead students to be good listeners where Students Talk Time (STT) is less than Teachers Talk Time (TTT)
The role of Instructor in speaking class is facilitator in order the students have more opportunity to practice the target language and he should focus on the learning process rather than teaching the language
Summary
A Teacher’s thought about teaching - learning process will certainly have impacts on the way he teaches. Learners need to learn how to use the target. In terms of the language use, it is still found some undergraduate students are still poor at spoken language even few of them finished their study, this phenomenon drives the writer to find out the alternative solution to overcome this problem. This problem may be able to overcome by applying appropriate technique. The Instructor should be able to bring students to use the target language naturally. In pairwork activity students had opportunity to explore ideas by using the target language. The Instructor’s role is a facilitator during the class-taking place, the situation was learners – centered activity
