One of the basic problems in foreign language
teaching is to prepare learners to able to use the language. Speaking is one of
language skills that need practices much. It is not the same as knowledge
obtained by learning process. Speaking as a skill couldn’t be learned only, but
is has to be practiced continually.
Speaking is one of the four language skills
(listening, speaking, reading, and writing). According to Tarigan (1981 :3)
state that speaking of speak is a language skill which is growth in the child’s
life and its only limits on the listening skill even the speaking skill is
learned at the period.
Speaking skill
have two word element, they are skill and to speak. Tarigan (1981: 15) defines
that speaking skill is the ability to communicate and speech articulation or to
speak a talk for expressing an ideas and massages. And skill is the ability to
learn and to do something has been learned (depdikbud, 1989:552).From
the definition above, it can conclude that speaking skill is ability which is
communicating the speech sound for expressing and conveying a massage or ideas.
No language skill is so difficult to assess with
precision as speaking ability. Like writing, speaking is a complex skill
requiring the simultaneous use of a number of different abilities which often
developed at different rates. According
to Harmer (2992 : 269) says that the ability to speak fluently presupposes not
only a knowledge of language feature, but also the ability to process
information and language on the spot. The element of language features are the
following
- Connected speech. It means that effective speakers of English need to be able not only to produce the individual phonemes of English, but also to use fluent connect speech.
- Expressive devices, it mean that how to change the pitch and stress of particular part of utterances, vary volume and speed, and so by other physical and won verbal.
- Lexis and grammar. It means that spontaneous speech is marked by the use of a number of common lexical phrases, especially in the performance of certain language function
