ACCURACY AND FLUENCY IN SPEAKING SKILL
Generally, speaking can be said as the crucial
part in teaching learning process because the
audience will not understand the meaning if the
speaker are not be able to transfer the meaning of
what are being he saying accurately. In speaking, we
will face two words “accuracy and fluency”. They are
two importance things to support the development of
student speaking ability.

3. 1. Accuracy
Accuracy in speaking skills is the student ability
to speak in conversation using correct grammar and
vocabulary. In this case, the student should be able to
use the correct component in speaking, such as:
vocabulary, grammatical features and pronunciation. If
the student can use the correct component of
speaking they will be easy to say what they what to
say in correct pronunciation. In other to achieve the
best result in speaking, as the teacher you should be
able to improve your student ability first especially in
vocabulary, grammatical features and pronunciation.
Finally, you can evaluate your student by do the
conversation as feedback the material.

student to speak or talk in conversation easily,
smoothly and correctly. It is the main achievement in
learning English. To get the fluency in speaking skill
is not simple. It depends on the method or strategies
of teacher in teaching learning process.

7. ENCCOURAGING THE STUDENT TO SPEAK
In teaching speaking skill, the teachers are
often difficult to encourage their student to speak or
pay their participation in teaching learning process.
The following suggestions are intended to help the
teacher creates a classroom in which students can
feel comfortable, secure, willing to take risks, and
ready to test and share their ideas. There are some
ways that the teacher can do to increase the
participations of student in order to speak in
discussion:

8. 1.Encourage your students to learn each other's
names. Generally, Students are more likely to participate
in class if they feel they are among friends rather than
strangers; so at the beginning of the term, ask students
to introduce themselves and describe their primary
interests or background in the subject. These
introductions may also give you some clues about the
discussion that you want to give and it will be interesting
for your student. The teacher can also use "The First Day
of Class" where this way can helping students get to
know one another.

9. 2.Arrange the seating to promote discussion. If your
room has movable chairs, ask students to sit in a
semicircle position, so that they can see one another
and it can make your student more interesting to
talk with their relation. If appropriate, ask students
to print their names on name cards and display them
on their desk or the table. According the research,
shows that people tend to talk to the person who is
sitting opposite them, on the contrary, the people
who are sitting next to each other tend not to talk to
one another. So, we can encourage the student to
speak by arranging the student chairs.

10. 3.Allowing your class time to warm up before
you start the discussion. The teacher can
arriving in the class two or three minutes early
and make an informal discussion with the
student. It will make the student feel comfortable
to talk with you. Besides that, you can open the
class with a few minutes of conversation about
greeting includes the materials that you want to
teach, their condition or their activities.

11. 4.LIMITING YOUR OWN COMMENTS. According
the research, the most of time in discussion is
dominated by the teacher. They tell the material too
much without giving the turn for the student to
speak or share their ideas. To avoid this condition,
the teacher can divide the allocation time when the
turn of student and when the turn of teacher to
speak in the class. So, the student will get the
chance to share or speak what they want to say.
5. GIVING THE STUDENT REWARD. By giving
the reward, student will give more their participation
and trying to join more deeply in the discussion.
You can imagine in this way, the teacher make the
competition in the class where among the student
will compete to get the reward as fair as possible.

12. TECHNIQUES/METHODS IN TEACHING SPEAKING
As we know, the success of teaching speaking
depends on the technique that the teacher uses in the class.
If the teacher use the suitable technique in teaching, the
student will be able improve their speaking skill easily. So,
there are the techniques that the teacher can apply in the
classroom:
1.Giving information
In this stage, the teachers explain the material that they
want to teach in the class. With giving the information, the
students are able to imagine and guessing the material that
they will be received by the teacher.
2.Survey
It’s can the teacher do by giving the student
quisionare. Where, the quisionare consist about the
weakness and the strength of the material. Besides that,
survey can give the teacher a clue to choose the suitable
method in teaching learning process.

13. 3. Role play
In this step, the teacher explains the activity rules
when teaching learning process in the classroom. As the
result, the teacher can decide the suitable activities to
improve the student ability, especially in speaking skill.
Exp: The teacher use “pair work” activities. They ask their
student to make a conversation with their friend in one
table. It is including asking question and giving
information. They will be able to practice their speaking
skill in there.
4.Discussion
Generally, discussion is the effective activity or
strategy in improving the student ability because all
components in the classroom (the teacher and student)
can play the role in teaching learning process. They will
practice their speaking skill with their relation regularly.

14. 5.Answer and question
Answer and question are the activities that will
influences the development of the student ability
because they will respond what the teacher who ask
to them and they also can ask the teacher if they
face the strength of the material.
