Key Words : Motivation, Speaking Ability.

The purpose of this study is to know whether there is any correlation between students’
motivation in learning speaking and students’ speaking ability at second grade of SMA
Darussalam Ciputat. The sample of this study is 30 students taken from second grade of
SMA Darussalam Ciputat. The method used in this study was a quantitative method and
the technique used in this study was a correlational technique. In collecting the data, this
study was distributing questionnaires to the respondents and conducting classroom
observation to assess students’ motivation. The questionnaires based on the indicators of
intrinsic and extrinsic motivation which adopted from The Attitude/Motivation Test
Batery (AMTB) by Gardner and translated into Indonesian language. Besides, in
assessing students’ speaking ability, this study conducted oral test to the students. In
analyzing the data, the questionnaires were assessed by Likert’s scale rating, classroom
observation was assessed based on the classroom observation rubric, and oral test was
measured by David’s scale rating. The result of this study shows that there is a positive
correlation between students’ motivation in learning speaking and their speaking ability.
It is proved by the rxy (0.555) is bigger than r table in the degree significance 5% (0.349)
and 1% (0.449). It is considered that the null hypothesis (Ho) in this study is rejected
and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) which is states that there is correlation between
students’ motivation in learning speaking and their speaking ability is accepted. In
conclusion, there is a positive correlation between students’ motivation in learning
speaking and their speaking ability. It means that students with higher motivation will
get better speaking ability than the lower one. In other words, the higher motivated
students, the better speaking ability can be achieved.

 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. Background of Study
Speaking is a tool to communicate with other people. It is an activity
conducted by a person to communicate with others in order to express ideas,
feelings, opinions, etc. It also used to share information among people, to
negotiate, to solve problems, to maintain social relationship and friendship.
Speaking is used by people almost every time to interact with others. Therefore,
it is an essential skill to be learned by students in learning English.
Speaking is a complex skill among the other three skills in English. No
doubt that many students get difficulties in learning speaking, moreover to
practice it. To learn speaking skill is not only learning about the language itself,
but also learning how to speak in real communication.1 However, many students
cannot use English in the classroom and in real communication. Because
English is not their mother tongue, it is rarely used in daily activities to interact
with others. They are not accustomed to use English neither in the classroom nor
outside the classroom. On the other hand, actually to get successful in learning
speaking, students should be at the situation in which they are willing to speak in
English. Besides, students also should have strength from inside to speak up. In
other words, many factors affect students in learning speaking.
One of factors affects students in learning speaking is motivation.2
Motivation seems having an important role in developing students’ speaking
ability. Motivation is energy of students which come from inside or outside
encouraging themselves to do something.3 It will give strength to students in
learning speaking in order to speak up. In fact, motivated students will do
everything which supports their performance. They will do the best way to get
the best result.

 However, every student has different perception about speaking. Not all
students perceive speaking in the same feeling. Many students judge speaking is
a difficult subject to be learned. There are many factors that cause students
getting problems in learning speaking. Many students are lack of vocabulary as
not knowing what to say in English. Students often complain that they cannot
think of anything to say. Besides, students feel that they are lack of confidence
as the result they feel shyness. Students are also lack of practicing English
neither in the classroom nor in the real communication. They prefer to speak
their mother tongue rather than English because they feel it is more natural and
easier to speak in Indonesian language. It happened because they are not
accustomed to use English in and out the classroom. Moreover, students are
afraid of making mistakes and being laugh by their classmates.4 So, they
consider that speaking is difficult skill to practice.
Based on the explanation above about students’ perception of speaking,
it is assumed that many Indonesian students have low motivation in learning
speaking. Actually, all of students have different motivation in learning
speaking. Some of them are highly motivated students. Students with high
motivation in learning speaking will push themselves to speak up. They will
overcome obstacles which come to them with strong strength from inside.
Moreover, motivated students often get best result because motivation will
improve their performance. They will become the most successful students. In
contrast, low motivated students will have little interest to the subject and tend
to have difficulty in learning.5 In fact, most of students have low motivation in
learning speaking.
Low motivated students in learning speaking are caused by many factors.
Based on the observation in the school in teaching speaking, here is some factors
affects students’ motivation. Firstly, the method of teacher in teaching and
learning process is not interesting for students. It makes students lazy to learn
speaking. Secondly, the situation of environment is not support to speak up,

 neither inside the classroom nor outside. In the classroom, students have a
limited time to learn speaking, so they cannot practice English well in a very
little time. While outside the classroom, students are not used to speak English.
They prefer to speak in their native language, Indonesian, because almost people
around them speak Indonesian. Thirdly, students feel shy and lack of confidence
to speak up because they are afraid of making mistakes and being laughed by
their friends. Then, students’ view about speaking that it is a difficult subject to
learn causes them difficult to practice it. They think that many components of
language should be mastered to speak English well such as pronunciation,
vocabulary, grammar. However, not all low motivated students in learning
speaking have low speaking ability. On the other hand, highly motivated
students do not always have good speaking ability.
Therefore, the study is conducted to know students’ motivation in
learning speaking and to know whether there is any correlation between
students’ motivation in learning speaking and their speaking ability at the second
grade of SMA Darussalam Ciputat by the title “The Correlation Between
Students’ Motivation In Learning Speaking and Their Speaking Ability”.

B. Identification of Problem
From the explanation above, the writer identifies some problems
teaching and learning speaking, they are:
1. Speaking is an essential skill to be learned by English students.
2. Many students cannot use English in the classroom and in real
communication.
3. One of factors affects students in learning speaking is motivation.
4. Motivation seems having an important role in developing students’
speaking ability.
5. All of students have different motivation in learning speaking.
6. Most of them have low motivation in learning speaking.
7. Many students consider that speaking is very difficult subject to learn.
8. The method of teacher in teaching and learning process is not interesting.
9. Most of students feel shy and lack of confidence.

 10. It is assumed that students with high motivation in learning speaking will be
more successful to speak rather than students with low motivation.

C. Limitation of Study
To avoid the study being too broad, the writer limits the study to know
the correlation between students’ motivation in learning speaking and their
speaking ability.

D. Formulation of Problem
Based on the limitation of study above, the formulation of problem in
this research is “Is there any correlation between students’ motivation in
learning speaking and their speaking ability?”

E. Objective of Study

 CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW

A. Motivation
1. Meaning of Motivation
Motivation is very important in everything we will do. It is a powerful for us to
get the best in doing something. Moreover, in teaching and learning process, motivation
is really needed. Motivation makes teaching and learning easier and more interesting. It
is very good if both of teacher and students motivate each other in teaching and learning
process.
Many experts in psychology have given various definitions of motivation.
According to Santrock, “motivation is the processes that energize, direct, and sustain
behavior”.6 It means that motivation is the process in which pushes and shows students
to do something and keep on the activity continuously. Motivated students will feel
eager to achieve what they want with strong desire. It is similar with the idea of Schunk
that motivation is the process of students to conduct activities based on their goals and
to keep them on straight away.7
Motivation has a significant role in teaching and learning process. The students
who have a higher motivation will get a better opportunity to achieve the goal in their
learning activities than the lower one. Harmer states that motivation is an energy of
students which come from inside encouraging themselves to do activity.8 It assumed
that motivation is an essential of learning to achieve something. It is a process which
directs students to activity to get goals.
James says that the idea of someone to conduct activity and control the
frequency of the actions is called motivation. It is used to see whether the students are
interested in the classroom activities.9 So, students’ motivation becomes a vital part in

teaching and learning process. It gives a great influence to students to push themselves
in learning to get their needs, goals, and interests.
From those definitions above, it is concluded that motivation is an energy and
direction to do something. Motivation is a process to get success and has a great
influence to the future achievement. In teaching and learning process, giving motivation
to the students is a process to push and to support them to learn. Therefore, it can help
the students to achieve their goals.

2. Kinds of Motivation
Schunk classifies that motivation is divided into two parts, extrinsic motivation
and intrinsic motivation.10
a. Extrinsic motivation
Extrinsic motivation is motivation which engages in an activity as a means to
an end. Motivated students extrinsically work on activities because they believe that
participation will result in desirable outcomes such as reward, teacher praise, or
punishment. According to Santrock, extrinsic motivation causes someone to conduct
something in order to get something else. In other words, it is a means to get
something.11 Motivation is caused by external incentives such as rewards and
punishments.
Extrinsic motivation is motivation which come from not from inside of
ourselves but from outside. As Oemar Hamalik explains that extrinsic motivation is
motivation that caused by outside factors of situation.12 In Marsh’ book, he informs
that extrinsic motivation is “Experienced by students when they receive a reward, or
avoid punishment, or in some other way unconnected with the task earn approval for
particular behavior.”13 From the statement above, it is assumed that extrinsic
motivation is caused by factors from outside of students. It can be from teachers,
parents, friends, environment, etc.

 Besides, for the further explanation about extrinsic motivation, according to
Gardner and Lambert’s research, there are two main types of extrinsic motivation:
they are integrative motivation and instrumental motivation:14
1) Integrative motivation
In integrative motivation, students need to be attracted by the culture
of the target language community. It involves students’ reasons for
learning the language. To strengthen this motivation, students wish to
integrate themselves into that culture and learn hard to master the
language. A weaker form of this motivation would be the desire to know
as much as possible about the culture of the target language community
(English).
2) Instrumental motivation
This motivation describes a situation in which students believe that
mastery of the target language will be instrumental in getting them a
better job, position, or status. The language is an instrument in their
attainment of such a goal.
From those explanations above, it is considered that integrative motivation is
the reasons of students to learn the English language, while instrumental motivation
is students’ view of English as a means to get a better job, position, and status in the
future life.
Actually, many other factors that can influence upon students’ extrinsic
motivation in teaching and learning process as follow:
1) Teacher
Teacher is a person who has an important role in teaching and learning
activity to socialize and shaping motivation among students. Teacher is not
only a person who transfers the knowledge to students, but also as a motivator
who always motivates and supports the students in teaching and learning.
Dornyei informs that teacher’s skill in motivating students should be seen as

14
R. C. Gardner and Lambert, Attitude and Motivation in second language learning, (Newbury House,
1972).

8
 the central in teaching and learning process.15 Teacher is the key instrument to
handle and organize students in the classroom.
The teacher has responsibility to make teaching and learning process
successfully. Thus, teacher has an obligation to arise motivation to the students
to learn hard.
According to Penny Ur, other sources are certainly affected by the
teacher actions; they are success and its reward, failure and its penalties,
authoritative demands, test, and competition.16
a) Success and its reward
This is the single most important feature in raising extrinsic
motivation. Learners who have succeeded in the past tasks will be
more willing to engage with the next one, more confident in their
chances in succeeding, and more likely to persevere in their effort.
The teacher’s most important function here is simply to make
sure that learners are aware of their own success; the message can be
conveyed by a nod, a tick, even significant lack of response.
b) Failure and its penalties
Failure is not just a matter of wrong answer; learners should be
aware that they are failing if they have done significantly less that
they could have, if they are making unsatisfactory, or not taking
care. Failure in any sense is generally regarded as something to be
avoided, whereas success is something to be sought.
c) Authoritative demands
Learners are often motivated by teachers’ pressure. They may
be willing to invest efforts in tasks simply because you have told
them to, recognizing your authority and right to make this demand,
and trusting your judgment.
d) Tests
The motivating power of tests appears clear: learners who know
they are going to be tasted on specific material next week will

31, p. 130.

Penny Ur, op.cit. pp. 277-279.

9
 normally be more motivated to study it carefully than if they had
simply been told to learn it. Again, this is a useful incentive,
provided there is not too much stress attached, and provided it is not
used too often.
e) Competition
Learners will often be motivated to give their best not for the
sake of the learning itself but in order to beat their opponents in a
competition.
Individual competition can be stressful for people who find
losing humiliating, are not very good at the language and therefore
likely consistently to lose in contest based on (linguistic)
knowledge; and is over used, it eventually affects negatively
learners’ willingness to cooperate and help each other.
2) Parents
The role of parents can influence upon students’ extrinsic motivation in
teaching and learning process. Parents give great influence to their children as
students in school. Parents are expected to motivate their children to achieve
the good goals in school. Jeremy Harmer stated that “if the parents are very
much against the culture of the language this will probably affect his or her
motivation in a negative way. If they are very much in favor of the language
this might have the opposite effect”.17 This statement means that parents have
an important role to motivate their children. They should have to support their
children to create their motivation.
3) Environment
The teaching and learning activity in which conducted in good, clean,
and health environment can give better satisfactory both of for teacher and
students than conducted in bad environment. Environment also will cause
students’ motivation. Students will be more interesting, if the environment of
the classroom is comfortable. According to Tabrani environment is everything

17
Harmer, op. cit., p. 4.

10
 which exist around us, which has correlation and gives influence to
ourselves.18
b. Intrinsic motivation
Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation concerned in activities for its own
sake.19 Internal motivation involves motivation to do something for its own desire.
This motivation is appeared from ourselves. The students who have intrinsic
motivation will study hard and enjoy the teaching and learning process because they
have desire to do everything from inside themselves. They do activities because they
have own desire and reward from themselves and do not depend on the external
rewards. Harmer states that intrinsic motivation takes a vital role in the result of
students’ language learning.20 Many students bring no extrinsic motivation to the
classroom. They may perceive no interest about language learning in the classroom.
Therefore, it becomes teacher’ role to create intrinsic motivation in the classroom in
order to maintain students’ learning.
According to Emily in her research, intrinsic motivation is appeared from
students’ personal such as their comfort, happiness, interest.21 Researchers often
contrast intrinsic motivation with extrinsic motivation, which is motivation
governed by reinforcement contingencies. Traditionally, educators consider intrinsic
motivation to be more desirable to result in better learning outcomes than extrinsic
motivation. Intrinsic motivation is better for students because if the students have
intrinsic motivation, they will be easier and more enthusiasm in learning. Students
who have intrinsic motivation also will be quicker and more simply to achieve their
goals because they have motivation inside themselves.

3. The Characteristics of Motivated Students

The most successful students are not necessarily those to whom a language
comes very easily. However, they are those who display certain characteristics, most of
them clearly associated with motivation, as follows:22

11
 The characteristics of motivated students according to Penny Ur are: a.
Positive task orientation: the student is willing to do tasks and challenges, and
has confidence in his or her success, b. Ego-involvement: the student finds the
task important to succeed in learning in order to maintain and promote his or
her own self-image, c. Need for achievement: the student has a need to
achieve, to overcome difficulties and succeed in what he or she sets out to do,
d. High aspirations: the student is ambitious, goes for demanding challenges,
high proficiency, top grades, e. Goal orientation: the student is very aware of
the goal of learning, or of specific learning activities, and directs his or her
efforts toward achieving them, f. Perseverance: the student consistently invests
a high level of effort in learning, and is not discouraged by setbacks or
apparent lack of progress, g. Tolerance of ambiguity: the student is not
disturbed and frustrated by situations involving a temporary lack of
understanding or confusion; he or she can live with these patiently in the
confidence that understanding will come later.

4. Motivation and Learning Achievement.

Motivation seems to be a vital role in teaching and learning process. It gives great
influence for students to encourage themselves to learn eagerly. It is also as a director
for students to conduct activities to reach their goals.23 Each student is differed from
how they react to any school activity or material. Some students will enjoy the learning
happily, some will learn the material lazily, some will receive new topic with eagerness,
and some will deny to follow the teaching and learning. Some students also will do the
assignment you gave for them, and others will copy the assignment from their friends.
Besides, any students always try to get the best in everything they do, and any of the
students just do what they want. All of the differences in the students’ perception
towards learning above are affected by motivation.24
Motivation is one of the most important factors that will influence students'
English achievements or performance. Achievement is the result of an activity that has
been done, created by students. It becomes a measurement whether the students success
or failure in learning. If it can affect students learning and performance, surely it will
influence students’ learning achievement. It was proved by Shams’ research that
motivation affects students’ language learning achievement.25 His research findings
show that a high degree of extrinsic motivation influence students’ language learning

outcomes. Motivated students got the higher score in language learning than the lower
one.
Bo wang also considers that motivation is one of the important factors that
influence English learning achievement. According to him, in order to help the students
to maintain a proper strength in English learning, motivation is very necessary for the
teachers in the daily teaching procedure by encouraging students to be more attractive in
teaching and learning process. He also explains in his paper that Zhang Bensheng did
research on 70 outstanding students including English and non-English majors from
seven key colleges and universities in Wuhan. The results showed that the achievements
of the students had a close relationship with their motivation. All of the students
possessed some kind of motivation for learning English: some were intent on making a
useful contribution to society, while others wanted to improve their professional
prospects in the future. Such students seemed to have instrumental motivation. Still
others were interested in the learning environment or encouraged by their previous
success. They had task and situational motivation. A few of them were attracted by the
target culture; they were integrally motivated.26
Besides, Wolters’ study towards mathematics’ students shows that motivated
students expressed the stronger focus on learning and reached the goal of learning than
the lower one.27 His study was conducted in the secondary school. It describes that the
motivated students attempt to get the best result in learning. Students with high
motivation show the greater effort and persistence to get everything they want.
Therefore based on the explanations above, it can be considered that motivation
has an important role in teaching learning. It can affect students’ performance and
achievement in learning. It also gives contribution in students’ success or failure in
learning. As Fortune et.all state in the journal of Social Work Education that Students
with high motivation to reach something will success in their school and carrier.28
Motivated students will get the higher achievement than the lower one. Students with

eagerness.

5. Assessing Motivation
Assessing motivation is an important topic for researchers and practitioners to
know the level of motivation and how to optimize it. Motivation can be assessed in
various ways. Schunk describes three kinds of methods for assessing motivation:29
a. Direct observations
It refers to behavioral instances of choice of tasks, effort, and persistence.
It is usually used to measure motivation. Motivated students can be seen by
the observation of students’ persistence at tasks, the effort they expend to
perform well, and how willingly they engage in tasks.
b. Rating by others
Another method to assess motivation is done by observers (teachers,
parents, researchers) to rate students. Rating by others is judgments by
observers of students on characteristics indicative of motivation. One of the
advantage of rating by others is observers may be more objective about
students rather than students do it themselves because it is done by others.
c. Self-reports
Self-reports involve people’s judgment and statement about themselves.
The types of self-report instruments are questionnaires, interviews,
stimulated recalls, think-alouds and dialogues.
1) Questionnaires are consisted of a number of questions should be
answered by respondents asking about their actions and beliefs.
2) An interview is a type of questionnaire in which the questions or
points to discuss are presented by an interviewer and participants
answer orally.
3) Stimulated recalls, recall of thoughts accompanying one’s
performances at various times.
4) Think-aloud refers to students’ verbalizing aloud their thoughts,
actions, and emotions while working on a task.

29
Schunk, op.cit., 13.

14
 5) Dialogues are conversation between two or more persons.
In fact, self-reports are the most commonly used in assessing motivation by the
researchers. For examples, Dina’s research about students’ motivation in learning
English, she used questionnaires to know the students’ motivation. The questionnaires
are consisted of some indicators that indicate students’ extrinsic and intrinsic
motivation. The result of the research shows that questionnaires can measure the level
of students’ motivation in learning English.30
Besides, Samaya used interview instrument to know the motivation of students
at Basic Education grade 2 to speak English. He used it because he was interested in
understanding students’ views about speaking activities directly. The interview is
conducted in their mother tongue to avoid students’ nervous and to encourage the
students to speak in more details and without pressure using English. His interview was
consisted of three specific issues. In the first interview, he asked students to agree or
disagree with a number of statements about their feelings about learning English and
about different types of skills and activities. The second interview focused on their self-
confidence and the last is he engaged the students in a self-assessment exercise using a
unit of material from English for Me Grade 2. These three interviews allowed the
research to collect in-depth information from each student about their motivation in
relation to speaking activities in learning English. Finally, the result of his study showed
that motivation took an important role to encourage students in speaking English. The
study also proved that most of the students thought that they were not ready to speak
English because they did not know English much yet.31
Moreover, a number of research by Gardner also used self-reports to assess
motivation. The Attitude/Motivation Test Battery is the kind of technical report to know
students’ motivation and attitude toward language learning. It is consisted of many
statements describing students’ perception in learning a language. AMTB is made to
assess non-linguistic aspects in language learning.32 Many researchers also adopted
AMTB to assess their study about attitude and motivation because the questionnaires

are quiet valid and reliable to asses students motivation. This study also adopted some
questionnaires from International AMTB Research Project by Gardner. This AMTB is
the English-language version for use with students studying English as a foreign
language. However, the researcher only took the questionnaires about motivation which
are suitable with this study.
To strengthen the result of motivation, this study also conducted observation to
the English teaching and learning process. It is done to confirm the result of motivated
students in questionnaires whether they truly have high motivation or not. Motivated
students can be seen by the observation of students’ persistence at tasks, the effort they
expend to perform well, and how willingly they engage in tasks.

B. Speaking
1. The Definition of Speaking
Speaking is the essential skill among other language skills that must be learned
by English students. It is as the major criterion to consider that the English students’
competence is good or lack. There are many definitions of speaking from English
experts. However, the writer only chooses several definitions which are important to
talk about.
According to Jo McDonough and Christopher Shaw, “speaking is a desire and
purpose-driven that may involve expressing ideas and opinions; expressing a wish or a
desire to do something; negotiation and or solving a particular problem or establishing
and maintaining social relationship and friendship”.33 Besides Lynne Cameron’s
definition, “speaking is the active use of language to express meanings so that peoples
can make senses of them”.34
From the definitions above, the writer conclude that speaking is a desire or a
wish of person to express ideas, opinions and feelings to others, to negotiate, to solve
problems in order to make and to maintain interaction, social relationship, and
friendship.

(Cambridge: Blackwell Publisher, 1993), p. 152.
34
Lynne Cameron, Teaching Language To Young Learners, (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press,
2001), p. 40.

16
 The essential thing in speaking is practicing the language, because practices
make us perfect. This skill is used by everyone to communicate in daily life whether at
school or outside school. It is can be done by two or more people to communicate, to
share information and to achieve a particular goals.

2. The Goal of Speaking

Scrivener informs in his book, fluency and confidence are the important goals in
the speaking class.35 From the statement above, it means that speaking exercises
students to have fluency and confidence to communicate with others. Fluency is used to
describe the ability to communicate an intended message. Fluency is expected to be
accurate in order to the listener easy to get the point of the message.
The goal of teaching speaking is to encourage students to develop ability to
communicate and interact with others, to develop fluency and natural in expression and
to have bravery share their ideas, feeling and opinion to other people.
Basically the goal of speaking is to communicate, as Henry Guntur Tarigan says:
“the particular aim of speaking is to communicate”. Speech has three general goals: “to
inform, to entertain and to persuade”.36

3. Kinds of Speaking Activity

Speaking is an oral communication. It is a process in which someone uses
spoken words to express feelings, ideas, opinions and information to another person.
When students learn a language, they must practice speaking. There are many activities
may be useful for students to improve their speaking ability as follow:
a. Communication games
Speaking activities based on games are a useful way of giving students
valuable practice. Game-based activities can involve practice of oral strategies such
as describing, predicting, simplifying, asking for feedback through activities such as
filling questionnaires and guessing unknown information.

Macmillan publisher, 2005), p. 146.
36
Henry Guntur Tarigan, Berbicara: Sebagai Suatu Satuan Ketrampilan Berbahasa, (Bandung:
Angkasa, 1985), p. 16.

17
 Actually the students really like this activity because they can learn how to
speak the language by using games. They don’t realize that the teacher asks them to
practice the language itself because they really enjoy it. They do it voluntarily.
Whereas, when the teacher asks them to practice a dialogue, sometime they feel shy.
This activity makes them fun, so they don’t feel bored.
b. Role play/simulations
One way of getting students to speak in different social contexts and to
assume various social roles is to use role play activities in the classroom. In role
play activities, the teacher gives information to the learners such as who they are
and what they think or feel.
Simulation is very similar to role play but there is a little differences. In
simulation, students can bring items to the class to create a realistic environment.
c. Information gap
In this activity, students are supposed to be working in pairs. One student
will have the information that other partner does not have and the partner will share
their information. Information gap activities serve many purposes such as solving a
problem or collecting information. Also, each partner plays an important role
because the task cannot be completed if the partners do not provide the information
the others need.
d. Retelling story
Retelling a story in a foreign language is a very demanding task. The
demands of retelling story after listening and understanding should be not
underestimated: language needed at a word, sentence and discourse levels must be
found and produced. If the students are to retell the story, they are asked to work at
this level in production.37
The students are expected to be able to enter to imaginative world that the
story creates. It means that they can understand enough about the characters and
their lives to be able to empathise with them. Thus, they can produce sentences by
retelling the story well because they can image what the story actually looks like.
e. Discussion

37
Cameron, Op. Cit., p. 176.

18
 Discussion is an activity to talking about something to others. It can be done
in pairs or groups. It is a very good and useful activity to improve students’
speaking skill. For example, after hearing a story, each student is given the
opportunity to comment and to react to one another’s comments. Students are asked
to discuss the value or moral in the story. Surely, many different opinions come out
from each student.
f. Dramatization
It is an active situation with a lot of learning and experiencing. This involves
students in learning lines for their role and can provide them with a memorable
occasion to practice English. This activity involves a high amount of participant by
the group. The group should learn how they would act in a situation, or explore
being characters in a situation and what is making them act the way they are in order
to the drama appears natural.
g. Speeches
The Prepared speech is an activity which is commonly used in the speaking
skill class. The topics used for speeches will vary depending on the level of the
students and the focus of the class. It is good for students to be given some leeway
in determining the content of their speeches.38

4. The Characteristics of Good Speaking Activity

According to Penny Ur, there are many characteristics of good speaking activity
as follows:39
a. Learners talk a lot
As much as possible of the period of time allotted to the activity is occupied by
learner talk.
b. Participation is even
All of students get a chance to speak and contributions are fairly evenly
distributed. So, classroom discussion is not dominated by a minority of talkative
participations.
c. Motivation is high

publishers, 1991), p. 106.
39
Penny Ur, Op. Cit., p. 120.

19
 Learners are eager to speak because they are interested to the topic and have
something new to say about it, or because they want to contribute to achieving a
task objective task.
d. Language is of an acceptable level
Learners express themselves in utterances that are relevant, easily
comprehensible to each other and of an acceptable level of language accuracy.

6. Assessing Speaking Ability

Evaluating speaking skill is the most important aspect in language testing.40
However, Speaking is a complex skill among the other skills in English to be assessed
because many criteria should be evaluated in speaking such as pronunciation,
vocabulary, grammar, fluency, comprehension. Moreover, the administration of
speaking test is quite difficult because it will be not effective and sufficient to test
speaking skill in large number of students at limited time.
The other skills can be assessed by paper and pencil test, whereas speaking
cannot be assessed by it. Students’ speaking skill should be measured by oral test. The
kinds of oral test commonly used by teachers and practitioners to know the students’
speaking is face to face speaking test (interview), conversations, role plays, story-
telling, oral presentations, etc. Actually all of them only the most popular choices of
oral test in teaching and learning English to assess students’ speaking skill.
According to Kemtong in her journal, interview is considered as the most
popular means in evaluating speaking ability. It is a direct test, face to face speaking
between the students and the interviewer(s).41 It is right that interview is the most
commonly used to measure speaking skill because it is the simplest one and direct
means to know students skill. By interview the examiner can get the students’ speaking
skill clearly and get the information from the students in depth.
Besides, Poonpon in his study to measure students’ speaking test also used
dialogue speaking task and monologue speaking task. In dialogue speaking task,
students are required to work in pair to prepare a 3-minute dialogue using phrases they

Edition, p. 88.

20
had learned from their English course. The students were given a chance to rehearse the
dialogue before taking the test. While in monologue speaking task, students are asked to
give their opinion about a topic for a minute orally.
However, it is different from Dina’s study in evaluating students’ speaking skill.
She assessed students’ skill by using role play test. In role play, students are asked to act
as an actor based on the situations and contexts. Students are given a situation and
problem before they act. Then, she scored students’ performance by using rating scores
of oral test by Higgs and Clifford.42 It is important that whatever techniques of oral tests
used to evaluate students’ ability, the most essential in this test is scale rating scores.
Teachers and researchers should have reference of scale rating score of speaking to
assess students’ speaking ability.
Therefore, this study is used conversational exchange to assess students’
speaking ability since it is simple and good to know information about students’ skill in
depth. The test is evaluated into five criteria; they are pronunciation, grammar,
vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The five criteria are the components of
speaking skill. In this study, the students are scored based on five components of
speaking skill by using the scale rating scores of David P. Harris.

C. Motivation and Speaking Ability

Motivation is energy of students come from inside or outside which push
themselves to do something. Motivation is considered as an essential part in learning
speaking ability. It affects students’ ability to speak up. Motivated students will speak
up eagerly without feeling shy. Murcia states in her book that to motivate the
acquisition of communication skill of students and to provide real communication inside
and outside of the classroom are the goals of speaking.43
Speaking is the essential skill among other language skills that must be learned
by English students. It is as the major criterion to consider that the English students’
competence is good or lack.44 The essential thing in speaking is practicing the language,
because practices make us perfect. This skill is used by everyone to communicate in

21
daily life whether at school or outside school. It is can be done by two or more people to
communicate, to share information and to achieve a particular goals. However, based on
the writer’s observation in teaching speaking, many students feel shy to speak up in the
classroom. They are also afraid of being laughed by their friends when they speak up.
Moreover, many students are still lack of vocabulary.
All of them actually happened because of students are low motivated. It is
assumed that motivated students will not face the problems above. Students with high
motivation will study hard and attempt to get the best in learning. One of characteristics
of motivated students is high persistence and effort in learning. Besides, Sumaya states
in his research that motivation has important role in developing students’ speaking
ability.45 In his research, he also faced many students’ problems which are almost
similar with the problems above such as the students are lack of confident, lack of
vocabulary, and worried making mistakes. He also declares that motivation should be
created among students by the teacher in the classroom. Teacher should encourage and
support the students to speak up, and also help them to feel enjoy by making interesting
situation in learning process. Therefore, teacher has a vital role in teaching and learning
to create motivation among students.46
Besides, the research conducted at Ha Noi University of technology students
shows that motivation plays an important role in learning speaking. According to the
results of the study, students at Ha Noi University of Technology have a higher degree
of extrinsic motivation in learning English speaking skill than other kinds of
motivation.47

D. Relevant Study
Meenaz Sham conducted study by the title Students’ Attitudes, Motivation and
Anxiety towards English Language Learning. This mini-research study attempted to
investigate gender wise students’ attitudes, motivation and anxiety towards the learning
of English as a second language in the multilingual context of Karachi, Pakistan. The
study adapted a survey questionnaire from Gardner’s ‘Attitude Motivation Test

Battery,’ to explore attitudes (English language and learning), motivations (intrinsic and
extrinsic) and classroom anxiety of grade 8th students in a private secondary school. The
survey findings of 77 students (40 males and 37 females) highlight that students have
positive attitude and high level of enthusiasm towards English language and its learning.
This study also described a higher degree level of extrinsic motivation than intrinsic
motivation. Overall, the results emphasized girls to have a slightly higher degree of
positive attitudes and motivation comparable to the boys.
Dina Maryana also conducted research at SMP Muhammadiyah Ciputat by the
title “The Correlation between Students’ Motivation in Learning English and Their
Speaking Achievement”, the study was showed that there was a significant correlation
between students’ motivation and achievement in learning speaking. It means that the
students with higher motivation get better achievement in speaking than the lower one.
Her research was used survey method through correlational technique. This research
took 34 participants as the sample taken by using random sampling technique. The data
were collected by two techniques. The first technique was distributing questionnaires to
measure the students’ motivation. The second technique was collecting students’
speaking score from English teacher. Then, the data collected were analyzed by formula
of correlational product moment. The result showed that the correlation index between
X variable (students’ motivation) and Y variable (Students’ speaking achievement) is 0,
406. It means both variables have medium correlation and the hypothesis of the research
is accepted.48
Based on Lisa Kusumawati’s research at Department of English Education UIN
Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta by the title “The Correlation between students’ motivation
in learning English and their speaking achievement”, the study was used a correlational
method. In collecting the data, the researcher distributed questionnaires to the
respondents and took students’ speaking score from English teacher. This research used
random sampling to take respondents as the sample. After the data collected, the data
were analyzed by formula of correlational product moment. The study stated that there
is correlation between students’ motivation in learning English and their speaking
achievement and the students with high motivation in learning English will get better

48
Dina, op. cit., p. 46.

23
speaking achievement than those with low motivation in learning English. It means that
motivation in learning English affects students’ speaking achievement.
Besides on Desi’s research, there is no significant correlation between students’
motivation and their achievement in learning English at MTs Negeri Parung. It was
approved by the data which showed the rxy is smaller than ttable; rxy is 0.128 and ttable
from the df (34) on the degree of significant 5% is 0.349. It means that the null
hypothesis (Ho) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is rejected. This
research was used quantitative research trough survey method. The population of this
research was students at eight grade of MTs Negeri Parung. However, the researcher
only took 36 students as her samples. The data collected by distributing questionnaires
to the students at the school and taking students’ speaking score from the English
teacher. Then, both of the data were analyzed by the formula of correlational product
moment.49

E. Conceptual Framework
Speaking is a process to get meaning by sending and receiving information
between two people or more. It is one of skill used by everyone to communicate in daily
life whether at school or outside school.
One of characteristics of good speaking activity is high motivation to speak.
Students are eager to speak because they are interested to the topic and enjoy the
teaching and learning process. Therefore, it is assumed motivation having correlation
with speaking ability. Motivation is a power which comes from inside or outside of
students and pushes themselves to do something.
Students who have motivation will make an effort to follow the learning process
intensively and they will learn the lesson which supports speaking ability as well as
possible not only in school but also out of school. Besides, students with high
motivation in learning usually feel enjoyable in learning. It makes them easier to speak
up and may practice easy or complex sentences to their friends accurately and fluently.
It is assumed that motivation affects students’ speaking ability.

F. Hypothesis of Study
It is assumed that there is a correlation between students’ motivation in learning
speaking and their speaking ability at the second grade of SMA Darussalam Ciputat.
The hypothesis which is formulated in this study as follow:
1. Null Hypothesis (Ho)
There is no correlation between students’ motivation in learning speaking and
their speaking ability.
2. Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)
There is a correlation between students’ motivation in learning speaking and
their speaking ability.

 CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A. Place and Time

1. Place
The research was conducted at the second grade of SMA Darussalam
Ciputat.
2. Time
The research started from July to November 2013. It was done to know
the students’ motivation in learning speaking and their speaking ability and to
know whether there is any correlation between them.

B. Research Method and Design

The method used in this study was a correlational method in a quantitative
design. In correlational method, the researcher uses the correlation statistical test to
describe and measure between two or more variables.50 In other words, it is used to
analyze whether there is any correlation between two or more variables. This study is
conducted to know the correlation between two variables. They are students’ motivation
in learning speaking as the independent variable and students’ speaking ability as the
dependent variable.
In the process of writing, the writer did field research. To get data of students’
motivation, she distributed questionnaires and conducted oral test to the students as the
sample and also observed students’ classroom to confirm students’ motivation in
learning speaking. Then, after data completed, the data will be analyzed by the formula
of correlation product moment.

C. Population and Sample

The population of this research is all of students at the second grade of SMA
Darussalam Ciputat. There are four classes in the second grade. However, there are 30
students as sample taken by using purposive sampling techniques. This technique was
50

Qualitative Research, (New Jersey: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2008), Third Edition, p. 356.

26
taken because of some purposes. The first purpose is the students have same level of
intelligence in English. The second is the recommendation of teacher in SMA
Darussalam to take sample in grade 2.1. Moreover, this study used purposive sampling
because the research has limited time, energy and fund.

D. Technique of Collecting Data

Based on the explanation above, the techniques used to collecting data in this
research as followed:
a. Questionnaire
To get data of students’ motivation in learning speaking, the writer used
questionnaires to get students’ answers. Questionnaires are consisted of a number
of questions should be answered by respondents asking about their actions and
beliefs. 51
The questionnaires are adopted from The Attitude/Motivation Test Batery
(AMTB) by Gardner. Actually it consists of many items of statements involving
attitude and motivation but the researcher only took 30 items which are suitable
with this study and modified the questionnaires based on the context of students.
Therefore, the researcher only took motivation statements from AMTB and then
translated into Indonesian language.
The questionnaires are “closed”, it means the respondents are only choosing the
best one on the items and making checklist on the given answers. In answering the
questionnaires, the students are asked to choose one of the options by giving a
mark or checklist. Then the students are tested by oral test.
The questionnaires are based on the indicators of extrinsic and intrinsic
motivation. These are the components of indicators of students’ motivation in
learning speaking used in this research:
1) Extrinsic motivation
a) Teachers
b) Parents
c) Environments

b. Test
The kind of test used in this research is oral test. It is done to know the students’
speaking ability involving their pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and
comprehension. The students’ speaking ability is as the dependent variable in this
research. So, to know the score of students’ speaking ability, the writer conducted
oral test to the students.
The oral test carried out to the students once after the students answering the
questionnaires. The type of oral tests used in this study is conversational exchange.

30
 Students are given a situation and required to develop the sentences on the lines of
certain pattern. To avoid subjectivity in this study, the oral test is assessed by two
persons whom know about speaking ability test.52 The test is conducted in the
classroom. Students are asked to practice speaking in pairs (Asking and Giving
Information). Before students practice, they are given a situation “You meet your
friend in the classroom and then you ask him/her about “What did you do last
night?”. Then each pair of students speaks in front of the classroom.
c. Observation
In order to get students’ motivation in depth and to strengthen the instrument
in this study, this study also used observation for triangulation. Observation was
conducted to know the reality of students’ motivation in questionnaires, whether
there is any similarity between the result of questionnaire and the activities in the
classroom which describing the participant of students in learning speaking. In
other words, it is used to confirm the students’ motivation assessed by
questionnaires with classroom observation. In this study, the researchers observed
the process teaching and learning English in the classroom which show the
characteristics of motivated students. Motivated students can be seen by the
observation of students’ persistence at tasks, the effort they expend to perform
well, and how willingly they engage in tasks.53
This study employed non-participants observation which means the
researchers are not directly involved in the situation observed. The researcher
only watched the English teaching and learning process in the classroom and
evaluated the activities which describe the characteristics of motivation in a form
of rubric. Arikunto states that the most effective way in using observation
technique in collecting data is to use form of rubric.54 The rubric is consisted of
items about events or activities that happened in English teaching and learning
process inside the classroom.

E. Technique of Data Analysis
After the writer got the data from questionnaires of motivation, observation of
students in English teaching and learning speaking and test of speaking ability, she
measured each of data:
1. Assessing Motivation
To measure motivation in this study, the researcher used two techniques:
Questionnaires and classroom observation.
a. Questionnaires
The questionnaires in this study have 30 items adopted from AMTB by
Gardner. The questionnaires were assessed by Likert scale rating. This scale
rating has five options. They are: Strongly Agree (Sangat setuju), Agree
(Setuju), Undecided (Ragu-ragu), Disagree (Tidak Setuju), and Strongly
Disagree (Sangat Tidak Setuju). Each option also has score based on the
Likert Scale Rating below:55

Strongly agree 5 1

Agree 4 2

Undecided 3 3

Disagree 2 4

Strongly 1 5

b. Observation
To analyze data from observation, the researcher used descriptive
technique to describe the result from observation in English teaching and
learning activities based on the classroom observation rubric. She explains
the situation and the condition in the classroom and reveals activities that

5 Student follows the teaching and learning process.
6 Student is interested in the material which delivered by teacher.
7 The interaction between teacher and student are created lively in
the classroom.
8 Student studies hard toward material sources given by teacher.
9 Student does assignment given by teacher.
10 Student answers teacher’s question well.

2. Assessing Speaking Ability.

To know students’ speaking ability in this study, students are assessed by
oral test. The test is evaluated into five criteria; they are pronunciation,
grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The five criteria are the
components of speaking skill. In this study, the students are scored based on
five components of speaking skill by using the scale rating scores of David
P. Harris.

3. Assessing Two Variables (Motivation and Speaking Ability of Students)

All of the data above were analyzed by using the formula of correlation
product moment to know the correlation between students’ motivation in
learning speaking and their speaking ability:56 The students’ motivation in
learning speaking is X variable and students’ speaking ability is Y variable.
The correlation product moment is one of techniques commonly used to seek
the correlation between two variables.

 CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDINGS

A. Data Description
As mentioned in the research methodology, to get the data, the writer
distributed questionnaires to know students’ motivation in learning speaking to
the students at second grade of SMA Darussalam. Then, she conducted oral test
to know students’ speaking ability. After both of data collected, the writer
conducted classroom observation to confirm students’ motivation in learning
speaking and their speaking ability.
Finally, after all of the data collected, the writer analyzed each data
firstly. Motivation is assessed by Likert’ scale rating and speaking ability is
measured by David’ scale rating score. Besides, the result of classroom
observation is described to know the reality of students’ motivation in learning
speaking at the classroom. Secondly, after each data analyzed, to see the
correlation between students’ motivation in learning speaking and their speaking
score, the writer analyzed both of data by applying the formula of Correlational
Product Moment by Pearson.
B. Data Analysis
1. Students’ Motivation Score
In this study, students’ motivation in learning speaking is as the
independent variable (X). To measure students’ motivation in learning
speaking, the study used two techniques: distributing questionnaires and
classroom observation.
a. Questionnaires
As mentioned in technique of data analysis, the questionnaires in
this study have 30 items adopted from AMTB by Gardner. Before the
questionnaires were distributed, the questionnaires were validated by two
experts. It means that the questionnaires were used content validity to see
they are measure what should to be measured.

37
 The questionnaires were assessed by Likert scale rating. This
scale rating has five options. They are: Strongly Agree (Sangat setuju),
Agree (Setuju), Undecided (Ragu-ragu), Disagree (Tidak Setuju), and
Strongly Disagree (Sangat Tidak Setuju). The results of questionnaires
are described in a table (See appendix 2). The following table describes
the result of questionnaires about students’ motivation in learning
speaking after accumulated.

Maximum 93.00

From the data above, we can see the total score of 30 respondents is
2602. By applying SPSS program, it shows that the mean of students’
motivation score is 86, the median is 87, the range is 15, the minimum score
of students’ motivation is 78 and the maximum score of students’ motivation
is 93.
Based on the statistic result above, there are 2 categories of motivation
score. The first is low motivation and the second is high motivation.
Students categorized by low motivation score are under 87 score and
students categorized by high motivation score are above 87. Therefore, from
the table above, it is considered that the mode of students’ motivation score
is 87. It means that most of students have high motivation in learning
speaking. It is also confirmed by the result of classroom observation shows
that students who have high motivation’s score also follow the teaching and
learning process well, pay attention to the teacher’s explanation, express
their ideas, do assignment from teacher, etc.
b. Classroom Observation
Classroom observation in this research is conducted to confirm the
reality of students’ motivation in learning speaking. It is also done in second
grade of SMA Darussalam Class 2.3. The researcher observed the teaching

39
and learning process from beginning of class till the end based on the
classroom observation rubric.
Based on the result of observation in the classroom, students who have
high motivation score also show good performance in the classroom. They
do activities which represent their interested in learning speaking. Most of
them do activities which stated on the observed aspects.
The first aspect is motivated students always pay attention when their
teacher explained the material in front of the classroom. They listened
carefully to the teacher’s explanation about speaking material. Students with
high motivation score point their good behavior out in the teaching and
learning process. They represent their motivation in learning speaking by
paying attention to the teacher’s explanation seriously. In contrast, students
with low motivation in learning speaking did not pay attention well to the
teacher’s explanation. Any students talked each other during the lesson. The
teacher sometimes admonishes them to stop talking during the lesson. Any
students also seem a little bored to the teacher’s explanation method. They
were nice themselves by playing their pen and no pay attention to the
explanation.
The second observed aspect is asking to the teacher when students face
problems about the material. Based on the observation in the classroom,
when motivated students did not understand any materials, they asked to the
teacher eagerly and the teacher also answered the questions. They did not
feel shy to ask the teacher about their problems. They have good confidence
to speak up in front of their friends and the teacher. However, students with
low motivation have no bravery to ask to the teacher when they got problem.
They have no confidence to speak up in front of the teacher and afraid of
being laughed by their friends. They prefer to ask their problem to their
friend.
Thirdly, students with high motivation score stated in the result
questionnaire are brave to express their ideas in their mind. They uttered
what they think about something to the teacher gorgeously. For example,

40
when teacher explained about the hottest topic, any students told the
information to the teacher bravely.
Fourthly, motivated students in learning speaking wrote down the point
important of teacher’s explanation. They thought that it would help them to
remind the material. However, not all students wrote down the teacher’s
explanation. Many students were lazy to write the explanation.
Besides, students with high motivation would follow the teaching and
learning process seriously from the beginning lesson till the end. They did
not play with their friends during the lesson. However, any students played
with their partner during the lesson. They seemed not interested to the
teaching and learning process.
Sixthly, motivated students are interested to the speaking material
delivered by the teacher. They like the way their teacher in delivering
material. It seemed in the classroom observation that they have enthusiasm
in learning speaking. Students engage in teaching and learning process by
paying attention to the teacher. However, any students are not interested to
the speaking material because they did not like to the teacher method in
sending material.
The seven observed aspect is the interaction between teacher and
students are created lively in the classroom. The teacher and students interact
one another during teaching and learning process. The interaction in the
classroom is created between teacher and students not only teacher himself.
It means that the teaching and learning process in this classroom is balanced.
In balance instruction, the portion of teacher-centered instruction and
learner-centered instruction are considerably balance. The teacher becomes
the facilitator and the students are the initiator of the process. The role both
of them are balance in the classroom.
The eight observed aspect is students learn hard toward material sources
given by the teacher. Motivated students work hard to get the best in their
achievement by learning hard toward material sources given by the teacher.
Moreover, any students learn from other sources which supported the

41
 material. They try to achieve the best score in learning speaking by learn
hard.
Moreover, motivated students do all assignment given by teacher well.
They do not postpone doing assignment as long as possible. Besides, they
learn hard and follow the teaching and learning process seriously and
enjoyable. However, any students are lazy to do assignment from teacher.
When the teacher asked them to do assignment, they postpone as long as
possible. It shows that they have low motivation in learning speaking.
The last observed aspect in the classroom is students answered teacher’s
question well. When the teacher asked question to motivated students, they
would answer the question as well as possible. They could answer the
question in English confidently. However, any students cannot answer the
teacher’s question. They have no confidence to answer the question in front
of teacher and other students.
2. Students’ Speaking Score
In this case, the students’ speaking ability is as the dependent variable
(Y). To know students’ speaking score, the researcher conducted oral test to
the students. The test is evaluated into five criteria; they are pronunciation,
grammar, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. The five criteria are the
components of speaking skill. In this study, the students are scored based on
five components of speaking skill by using the scale rating scores of David
P. Harris. Here are the results of students’ speaking ability.

From the data above, we can see that the total score from 30
respondents of students’ speaking score is 2189. By applying SPSS program,
it shows that the mean of students’ speaking score is 72, the median of
students’ speaking score is 73, the mode of students’ speaking score is 68,
the standard deviation of students’ speaking score is 5,68, the range of
students’ speaking score is 22, the minimum score of students’ speaking is
64 and the maximum score of students’ speaking is 86.

43
 Based on the result statistic above, the average speaking score is
72. It means that most of students’ speaking ability is in the medium level. It
is seen from the minimum speaking score is 64 and most students got score
in 72-78 score.
3. The Correlation between Students’ Motivation in Learning Speaking
and their Speaking Ability.
In this case, both the score of students’ motivation and students’
speaking ability are correlated by Pearson’s Product Moment formula. The
data are described in the following table:

From the calculation above, it is found that rxy is 0.555. The next step is to find
the significance of variables by calculating rxy is tested by significance test
formula:57

Therefore, it is calculated that:

t count = =

t count = 3.530

Before tested by tcount, the writer made two hypotheses of significance: an

alternative hypothesis (Ha) and a null hypothesis (Ho).
Ha = There is significant correlation between two variables.
Ho = There is no significant correlation between two variables.

The formulation of test:

1. If tcount > ttable, it means that the null hypothesis is rejected and there is
significant correlation.
2. If tcount < ttable, the null hypothesis is accepted and there is no significant
correlation.

Based on the calculation above, the result is compared by ttable in the

significant 0.05 and n = 30. The writer found out the Degree of Freedom (Df)
with the formula:
Df = N – nr
= 30 – 2
= 28
From Df = 28, it is obtained ttable = 2.048. It means that tcount is
bigger than ttable or 3.530 > 2.048. Therefore the alternative hypothesis is

46
 accepted. In other words, there is significant correlation between students’
motivation in learning speaking and their speaking ability.

C. The Interpretation of Data

After the writer calculated the data by applying the correlation of Product
Moment formula and finding the result of rxy, the next level is to give
interpretation of the rxy.
From the analyzing data of students’ motivation in learning speaking (X)
and students’ speaking score (Y), it appeared that the correlation index between
X variable and Y variable is 0.555. It means that between both variables has a
medium correlation. It can be seen at simple interpretation toward the
correlational index “r” Product Moment (rxy) on the following table:58
Table 4.6
The Simple Interpretation of rxy.
“r” Product Moment (rxy) Interpretation
0.00 – 0.20 Very low/weak
0.20 – 0.40 Weak
0.40 – 0.70 Medium
0.70 – 0.90 High
0.90 – 1.00 Very High

Therefore, from the calculation of both variables above and indicated to

the table of interpretation of rxy above, it interprets that in both of variables has
correlation. By calculation above, it indicates that between X variable and Y
variable has no negative correlation. It means that both of variables have
positive correlation (one way correlation). It is considered that the higher
motivation of students in learning speaking, the better speaking ability of
students will get. In other words, students with high motivation in learning
speaking will get better speaking ability.
By looking at the result of rxy = 0.555, It shows in the interval 0.40 –
0.70. It indicates the gravity of correlation in this study is in the medium level. It
concluded that there is medium correlation between students’ motivation in
learning speaking and students’ speaking ability. It means the alternative
hypothesis of the study is accepted.

58
Ibid, p. 193.

47
 Then, in order to complete the result of the study, the interpretation of
rtable is also used in the study. Firstly, the writer found out the Degree of
Freedom (Df) with the formula:

Df = N – nr
= 30 – 2
= 28
Secondly, by checking the “r”table (rt) in Df = 28, it is found that at the
degree of significance 5% is 0.349 and at degree of significance 1% is 0.449.
5% = ro: rt = 0.555 > 0.349
1% = ro: rt = 0.555 > 0.449
To know the correlation between ro (rxy) = 0.555 and rt with the Df (28)
in the significance 5% and 1%, it can be concluded as follows:
The significance 5% = ro : rt = 0.555 > 0.349, it means that in the
significance 5% ro (rxy) is bigger than rt. So, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected
and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) which states there is correlation between
students’ motivation in learning speaking and their speaking ability is accepted.
Besides, in the significance 1% = ro : rt = 0.555 > 0.449, it means that in
the significance 1% ro (rxy) is bigger than rt. It is considered that the null
hypothesis (Ho) which state there is no correlation between students’ motivation
in learning speaking and their speaking ability is rejected and the alternative
hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. In other words, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is
accepted both in significance 5% and 1%.
Furthermore, from the result above, it is considered that the higher
motivation in learning speaking, the better speaking ability will be achieved by
the students. The students who have high motivation will make an effort to
follow the learning process intensively, and they learn the lesson as well as
possible not only in the school but also out of the school. They are motivated to
enrich their vocabulary and to practice their speaking ability. Moreover,
motivated students usually feel enjoyable in their learning. It makes them easier
to speak up confidently wherever they are although English is a foreign
language.

48
D. The Test of Hypothesis
To prove the result of hypothesis in this study, the writer calculated the
obtained data by Pearson’s coefficient correlation of Product Moment in the
previous term. Below are the formulations of hypothesis of this study:
1. The null hypothesis (Ho) = There is no significant correlation
between X variable and Y variable.
2. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) = There is significant correlation
between X variable and Y variable.

From the formulation above, the writer follows some assumptions as

follow:
1. If the result of calculation ro is lower than rt (r table) ro < rt, the null
hypothesis is (Ho) is accepted, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is
rejected.
2. If the result of calculation ro is bigger than rt (r table) ro > rt, the null
hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is
accepted.
The result of rcount value (0.555) is bigger than rtable value with significant
value 0.05 and 0.01. So, the conclusion is:
a. Ho is rejected.
b. Ha is accepted.
c. There is positive correlation between students’ motivation in learning
speaking and their speaking ability at Second Grade of SMA
Darussalam Ciputat.

 CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. CONCLUSION
Based on the description of the data which described in the previous
chapter, it can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between
students’ motivation in learning speaking (X variable) and their speaking ability
(Y variable). After analyzing both variables by Pearson’s Product Moment
formula, it is found that rxy = 0.555. Based on the result of rxy = 0.555, it
indicates the gravity of correlation in this study is in the medium level. It is
considered that there is medium correlation between students’ motivation in
learning speaking and students’ speaking ability. Besides, by looking at
calculation above, there is positive correlation between X variable and Y
variable. It means that students with higher motivation will get better speaking
ability than the lower one. In other words, the more motivated students are, the
better speaking ability can be achieved.
Furthermore, by checking the r table in Df = 28 and comparing it with
rxy, it is found that at degree of significance 5% ro : rt = 0.555 > 0.349 and at
degree of significance 1% ro : rt = 0.555 > 0.449. It means that in the
significance 5% and 1%, ro (rxy) is bigger than rt. In other words, in the degree of
significance 5% and 1%, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative
hypothesis (Ha) which states there is correlation between students’ motivation in
learning speaking and their speaking ability is accepted.
In conclusion, there is positive correlation between students’ motivation
in learning speaking and their speaking ability at second grade SMA Darussalam
Ciputat.

B. SUGGESTION
After doing the research and looking at the conclusion above, it is found
that there is significant correlation between students’ motivation in learning
speaking and their speaking ability. The statistic correlation of this research
shows that rxy = 0.555. It is considered that there is positive correlation between

50
students’ motivation in learning speaking (X variable) and their speaking ability
(Y variable) in a medium level. It means that students with higher motivation
will get better speaking ability than the lower one. From the findings above, it is
proved that motivation is an essential part in teaching and learning process.
Motivation can make teaching and learning easier and more interesting.
It is very good if both of teacher and students motivate each other in teaching
and learning process. English teacher has important role to support their students
in learning English, especially in speaking skill. The teacher should create an
interesting and comfortable situation in the classroom in order to make students
speak up confidently. Besides, students also should have motivation from inside
themselves to learn speaking. It can encourage students to learn and to achieve
their goals. Motivated students will overcome obstacles which come to them
with strong powerful from inside. They like to face challenging things in
learning. Moreover, motivated students often get best result because motivation
will improve their performance to achieve their goals.
The writer also would give suggestions in the following points: For
English teachers, they are expected to improve their students’ motivation in
learning English, especially in speaking skill because motivated students will
concentrate and enjoy the teaching and learning process. Besides, teachers
should tell the important of English knowledge to their students. Secondly for
students, they are expected to increase their motivation in learning English,
especially speaking skill. They are also expected to be more aware that English
is very important in their life. Moreover, for the headmaster of this school, he is
expected to encourage the English teachers to improve their motivation in
teaching and students’ motivation in learning English. Besides, the headmaster
should enrich the facilities of teaching and learning process that can encourage
students’ motivation in learning English. Finally, for further researchers who are
interested in conducting similar study. This study can be used as a reference for
them to support their study. However, the further researchers are expected to
take the larger sample in their study because the sample of this study is only 30
respondents. They are also to conduct their study in a longer time in order to get
more valid and more reliable data in their study because this study was

51
conducted only within a month. Besides, they are expected to add the
instruments in collecting the data for their study because this study only used
questionnaires and classroom observation in assessing students’ motivation, and
oral test in assessing students’ speaking ability.
