IMPROVING SPEAKING SKILL BY USING JUST A MINUTE TECHNIQUE

Abstract

The aim of the study is to determine the students’ improvement in speaking skill by using Just A Minute Technique. This research uses the Quasi-Experimental method with two classes as sample, namely class XI A as the experimental class, and class XI B as the control class. The researcher used pre-test and post-test as research instruments. Data analysis in this research uses t-test analysis. Based on the research results, the researcher found that the average pre-test score for the experimental class was 53.57 and the average post-test score was 70. Meanwhile, the average pre-test score for the control class was 56.42 and the average post-test 60.23. Based on the results of the t-test analysis, values were obtained to (2,62) > tt (1,68) in degree of significant 5% and to (2,62) > tt (2,42) in degree of significant 1%. This means that the alternative hypothesis (ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (h0) is rejected. In other words, it can be concluded that there is an increase in students' speaking abilities by using Just A Minute Technique.
