APPLYING ROUND ROBIN TECHNIQUE ON STUDENTS’ SPEAKING ABILITY

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the impact that using the RoundRobin technique had on the student's level of oral communication. This investigation was carried out with the participation of seventy students at SMAS Budi Agung Medan. The pretest and posttest results of the students were used to compile the data. This research was conducted using quantitative methods. The research design that was used in this investigation consisted of simple experiments. In this study, seventy students from the twelfth grade participated. The test consisted of a speaking component. The tests consisted of a pretest and a posttest, both of which were administered. The test was administered, and the results were analysed using SPSS. These are the results. The results showed that the average number of points obtained on the posttest by students in the control group was 78.4, while the average number of points obtained by students in the experimental group was 87.6. If the value of the hypothesis test showed that sig, two-tailed (p) was less than the number alpha () 0.005, then Ho (Nil Hypothesis) was rejected, and Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) was accepted. This decision was based on the value of the hypothesis test. In this research, the researchers obtained sig. 2 tailed was 0.000, and the hypothesis was proven true. It demonstrated that the application of the RoundRobin technique significantly affected the student's ability to communicate verbally.
