SPEAKING, ITS PROBLEM AND SOLUTION IN SMK STUDENTS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Language means the human’s way to communicate each other by using three ways namely spoken,
written, and sign language. In learning English, there are four basic skills should be mastered namely
listening, speaking, reading, and writing. From those four basic skills, speaking is seemed to be hard skill
for SMK students in Purworejo regency. The main problem are the differences of sound system (due to
having Javanese and Indonesian mother tongue), having shy to speak in front of their friends and to be a
shame when they are laughed by their friends because of their mistakes in pronouncing English words,
and the teacher found them to be kept in silent when he gives questions or asking for their comments.
The key solution of the problems above is making the students have self confidence in speaking and one
of the media might be used is by using real objects or realia. In this research, the researchers want to
know how realia could increase students speaking skill ofdescriptive text SMK at Batik PerbaikPurworejo
