Abstract

This final project was a study examining the use of podcast to enhance Students’ Speaking Skill of the X Grade Students’ Conversation at SMA N 1 Comal. The objective of this study was to determine whether there was any significant difference in learning achievement of speaking skill between the students who were taught by using podcast and those who were taught by using textbook. Besides, the tenth grade of SMA N 1 Comal in the academic year 2019/2020 was the population of this study. There were 72 students as the total numbers of the population which were divided into two classes with 36 students for each class. Pre-test and post-test were applied in this study. The researcher did not choose the sample by using random sampling. As a sample the researcher decided that the X MIPA 2 was an experimental group while the X MIPA 3 was a control group. The other hand, podcast was given to the experimental class while text book for the control class. Furthermore, try-out test was run by the researcher to get the validity and reliability. The research design in this study was a quasi-experimental study with the pre-test and post-test design. The research instrument used was test. At last, the result of the test was analyzed using t-test formula. The result of the hypothesis test showed that there was a significant difference effect on the students’ speaking skill between those who were taught by using podcast and those who were not taught by using podcast. It could be proven from the result of t (3.782) which is higher than t table (1.993). Another result of analysis showed that the mean score of the students who were taught by using podcast (74.02) was higher than those who were taught by textbook (72.33). Hence, the students who were taught by podcast have better speaking skills than those who were not thought by using podcast. Therefore, active participation from the teacher and students were needed to maximize the use of podcast in learning activities in order to enhance the students’ speaking skill.
