The Use of Talking Chip Strategy to Help Student’s Speaking Performance
The current study conducted at SMPN 19 Malang aimed to improve
students’ speaking performance as well as to explore their response after learning
using talking chips strategy. This research employed the classroom action
research method, utilizing Kemmis and Taggart's (1998) model with one cycle
that has four meetings to ensure a thorough investigation.
The focus of the study was on a specific class where students faced
challenges in their speaking performance. Through four meetings of
implementation of the talking chips strategy, the results of the speaking test
revealed a significant improvement, with an achievement rate of 88.6% (26 out of
30 students), achieving the predetermined success criteria. Additionally, there was
a notable increase in student activity during each session, increasing from 58.33%
to 95.83%, indicating the success of the treatment.
Notably, the talking chips strategy not only proved effective in improving
academic performance but also had a positive impact on the students' responses.
The students said they feel more interested and happier when they join the lessons.
The strategy contributed to made the learning environment more engaging, and
the students became more attractive and active participants in the educational
process.
The findings of this research can serve as valuable insights for future
researchers, offering a solid foundation for designing similar studies. By learning
from the successes and potential shortcomings of the present study, subsequent
researchers can refine and optimize the application of the talking chips strategy to
achieve even more effective results. This study encourages a continuous
exploration of innovative teaching methods and their impact on student outcomes,
contributing to the ongoing improvement of language education practices.
