CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

A. Conclusions

After the research about improvement student’s speaking skill through

Story Joke, here are the research’s conclusions based on research findings.

The conclusion such as below:

1. Many students find difficulties in speaking English. Some factors are

fear of making mistake, fear of be laughed at their friends, and having

less confidence of their own ability.

2. Based in the 2006 National Curriculum, the students have to knowing

English is communicating language, and we have to prepare the

students to challenge globalization era. Mostly of the teaching

method before the past decades, found the teacher tend to carry out

the teaching process in the classroom by applying traditional and

monolingual principle ways of teaching unsatisfactory. This shows

that teacher need enrichments with appropriate ways of teaching

atmosphere, that why in teaching English as the second language by

applying new and modified fashions in order that the result of

45
 46

teaching learning process would contribute more input to reach

satisfied learning outcome.

3. Teacher should help the students to overcome this problem by

motivating them to speak. For this reason, teacher should use

effective teaching methods that encourage students to take a part

actively in every activity. The teaching-learning process should

involve not only between teacher and students, but also between

students and students.

4. There are many benefits to implementing humor or jokes in the

classroom: it creates a cooperative atmosphere helping students to

better relate to one another, and it focuses them more effectively.

Humor facilitates the acquisition of vocabulary and helps distinguish

figurative from literal meaning. Similarly, it helps develop visual

memory and improves the capacity to solve linguistic problems. The

devices that we can use to add humor to a language class range from

idiomatic expressions, riddles or proverbs, to pronunciation games,

comics, and the use of realia, jokes or typical grammatical errors.

5. Speaking a language involves using the components correctly –

making the right sounds, choosing the right words and getting

constructions grammatically correct. It is one activity to share

 47

information, idea, and felling by sound produce that signify and then

we can make some communication with other people.

6. To building up confidence and to improving the students’ speaking

skill should be the first step a good language teacher does to the

learners. The teacher should be able to identify each learner’s

problems. This is a matter of constructing a mindset and a friendly

atmosphere in the classroom that speaking is a fun activity and that it

is easy.

7. Research finding in cycle 1 are:

When learning starts, researchers were not familiar with the

character and condition of the eighth-grade students. The students’

courage when they start to make conversation is still less. Most of

them still do not understand the meaning of funny in a short

conversation topic. They still make a lot of mistakes in pronouncing

of the sentence

8. Research finding in cycle 2 are :

Understanding of students with story joke making the atmosphere

more fun in class. Students’ courage to talk to occur after the split

into pairs. Fluency and pronunciation, have increasing when

compared with the first cycle. Researcher is beginning to understand

 48

the character of each student when they show the conversation in

front of the class.

9. Research finding in cycle 3 are :

There the competition was held among the pairs work The students

were more interested when did the conversation with their pairs

work Building relationship with among students was very important.

In trusting releationship, the threat that students feel is reduced and

therefore nondefensive learning in promoted Students can learn from

their interaction with each other as well as their interaction the

teacher.

10. From three cycles, the research conclussion that improving the

students’ speaking skill through story joke is efectivelly in speaking

learning process. First that the researcher must make situation of the

classroom more conducive so that the students can fell more safely.

The researcher has to choose effective dialogue to make involve and

participant from students. The students more encourages and more

active when the researcher gives the materials by group, they more

confidence to improve their ability speaking skill and to make

conversation by their group.

 49

During the research process progresses, the researchers found some of the

findings, both of the subjects or from the location of the research. There are :

1. From students, there some of students have low motivation and low

confidence to make start speaking activities. The teacher have to be

more sensitive with students’ problem, especially in speaking

learning activities in the class.

2. From the teacher, mostly of the teaching method before the past

decades, found the teacher tend to carry out the teaching process

in the classroom by applying traditional and monolingual principle

ways of teaching unsatisfactory. This shows that teacher needs

enrichments with appropriate ways of teaching atmosphere. From

institution, school conditions that need a lot of complementary

facilities and infrastructure, this is understandable because the

average student in junior Al Hasaniyah including from public middle

and lower economic levels.
