Abstract

Oral communication skill is the ability to receive and process the information (listening) and then respond and produce language (speaking) for which the messages delivered across and communication can run successfully. To most Indonesian students, speaking and listening English as can be challenging. Many factors influence how well someone can communicate orally in English, for instance: physical tools (ear and mouth), vocabulary mastery, grammatical knowledge, spoken discourse, and so forth. Therefore, I propose one technique namely “Three-Minute Descriptive Speech” which is executed during preteaching session to the students of The State Institute for Islamic Studies Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin (IAIN STS) Jambi. The qualitative data taken from twenty-seven students through openquestionnaires were analyzed. I found that the application of the technique gave benefits to the students, such as raising confidence, increasing motivation, and enhancing their oral communication skill.Keywords: Descriptive Speech, Speaking Skill, Oral Communication, Feedback

Abstract

Teaching writing in English as a foreign language to Indonesian students is truly essential. Through writing, students can express their feeling, idea, and also their knowledge in the visual demonstration. Infact, writing interest of the senior high school students in Indonesia is low. That problem might be caused by many reasons from both the teacher and students aspects. This paper is proposing one technique in teaching text writing that is Learner-Based Teaching [a technique in teaching English which has main principle that all class activities can be done using information that the learners themselves bring to the class]. Analyzing the examples of Learner-Based Teaching classroom activities we can conclude that Learner-Based Teaching is advantageous in increasing the students’ writing ability not only for the students but also for the teacher in term of motivation, effectiveness of Teaching-Learning activities, and relations among all.
