Daftar Isi:
- Speaking is one of the language skills that prioritized in education curriculum at junior high school level (SMP) in Indonesia. However, there are still many students who have difficulty in speaking. This is due to the way teachers that teach ineffective and less varied, so that students are less motivated to interact with teacher or with other students in the classroom. Therefore, many techniques have been developed by educational experts to assist teachers in creating effective and efficient ways of learning. One of them is teaching speaking by using “information gap activity”. The use of this technique is expected to facilitate and motivate the students in improving their interaction in the classroom and also improve their speaking ability. This technique is used during the experimenting phase to help the students engage in fun conversation. By using this technique, students are expected to be able to speak actively inside or outside the classroom.
