The Use of Dictogloss Technique to Improve Students' Speaking Skill at the Second Grade of SMA Al-Kautsar Bandar Lampung

It is generally confirmed that speaking is one of difficult language skills to study 
because there are many crucial elements involved, such as pronunciation, grammar, 
vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. For this reason, it is not uncommon that 
SMA students find serious difficulties to require this skill. This research was aimed 
at finding out the significant difference of students’ speaking skill and finding out 
the aspect of speaking that improved the most after the implementation of dictogloss 
technique at the second grade of SMA Al-Kautsar Bandar Lampung. This research 
was basically a quantitative research which used a one group pretest-posttest 
design. 
The subject of this research were 30 students of class XI IPS 1 at SMA Al-Kautsar 
Bandar Lampung in the academic year 2017/2018. There were two raters to assess 
students’ speaking performances and speaking test was used as the instrument. The 
students’ speaking skills were measured in terms of pronunciation, grammar, 
vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The data were analyzed by using repeated 
measure t-test in which the significance was determined by p<0.05. 
The result of the research showed that t-value was higher than t-table (9.420>2.042) 
and the value of the significant level was 0.00<0.05. The mean score of posttest 
(74.40) was higher than the pretest (60.33) and the gain was 14.07. It means that 
there was a significant difference in the students’ speaking skill after being taught 
using dictogloss technique. Briefly, referring to the results above, it can be said that 
dictogloss technique can be applicable to improve students’ speaking skill.
