Abstrak

One of four skills in English that has to be mastered by the students is speaking. It includes as one of productive skills. As productive skill, speaking is supposed to be one of the challenging skills in English. The fact shows that there are many students of class X-5 of SMA 1 Gebog Kudus that still have difficulties to express their ideas because they find difficulties to develop and arrange them into a good sentence orally. Therefore, I propose Clustering technique as a learning technique to solve the students’ problem. The objectives of this research are to describe the implementation of Clustering technique in improving the students’ speaking ability and to find out whether Clustering technique can improve the speaking ability of class X-5 students of SMA 1 Gebog Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014. I hope this technique can help the students to generate and develop their ideas so they will be easier to express them orally. This research belongs to classroom action research. The technique that is used in this research is Clustering technique. This research is conducted in SMA 1 Gebog Kudus, while the subject is the students of class X-5 of SMA 1 Gebog Kudus that consist of 34 students. This research is done in 2 cycles. In addition, I use two instruments in this research. The first is observation sheet that is used to know the teacher’s and the students’ activity in teaching and learning process, while the second one is oral test to measure the students’ speaking ability Based on the finding of this research, the students’ average score is improved from 69.1 in cycle 1 then it is changed into percentage to be 69.1 % to 75.5 in cycle 2 that is changed into percentage to be 75.5 %. From the data above, the category of the average score of the students’ speaking ability in cycle 1 is sufficient, while the category of the average score of the students’ speaking ability in cycle 2 is good. From the explanation, it can be concluded that Clustering technique can improve the speaking ability of class X-5 students of SMA 1 Gebog Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014. From the facts above, I give suggestions to the teacher to use Clustering technique to solve the students’ problem. So the students can use the technique as their learning technique to help them in generating and developing their ideas.
