Abstract

The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant effect of using the fan-n-pick technique on speaking ability in the tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Kusambi. This research uses a pre-experimental design that consists of one class as a treatment class. The population in this research is the tenth-grade students of MIA, and the sample of this research is students in class X MIA 1 of SMAN 1 Kusambi in academic years 2019/2020. The sample uses random sampling, and the total number of students is 25. The research instrument is a speaking test focused on descriptive text. The researcher collects the data by giving pre-test, giving treatment in the class using the fan-n-pick technique, and lastly giving the post-test. The data are analyzed by descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. For testing the hypothesis, the researcher uses paired sample t-test, which is calculated through SPSS 16.0. The result of this research represents that students' mean post-test score is 55.20, which raises 1.72 points from the pre-test (38). Additionally, the sig (2-tailed) is 0.000. It means that the probability (sig) value is lower than α (p-value < α or 0.000<0.05). Therefore, the fan-n-pick technique significantly has affected students' speaking ability among the tenth-grade students of SMAN 1 Kusambi.
