Abstract

Speaking is a form of communication. Thus, speaking becomes an important skill learned in language learning. In the teaching and learning process, it is common to find several problems since the teaching method is often inappropriate. "Show-and-tell" method is one of the best solution methods to apply in the class. Using this method will involve students in the speaking activity in class and help them become more confident by getting used to the practice of speaking. This research aimed to find out; (1) the implementation of the "show-and-tell" method, (2) the improvement scores after using the method, and (3) teachers' and students’ responses to the method. This study focused on seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Karawang Barat in the academic year of 2022/2023. This research used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, which was carried out in two cycles. The data included both qualitative and quantitative data. The quantitative data were collected from pre-test and post-test, while the qualitative data were collected from observations and interviews. The result of this research showed that; (1) The implementation of "show-and-tell" method was successfully implemented in the teaching and learning process. It is shown by the students' feeling enthusiastic about the use of media and actively participating in the learning process. (2) Besides that, the results from pre-test to post-test 2 showed a significantly different score. In the pre-test, the mean score was 46.44, then it became 66.60 in the post-test 1, with an increase in students' scores of 20.16 (43.41%). Then, in post-test 2 the mean score increased to 76.26, with an improvement of 9.66 (14.50%). Furthermore, the result of the T-test shows that the significance value (sig. 2-tailed) was 0.00 < 0.05. It means that the implementation of the show-and-tell method to improve the students' speaking skills in the seventh grade of SMP Negeri 3 Karawang Barat had a significant effect. (3) This result is also supported by the data from the interviews with the teacher and the students. They stated that this method helped them improve their speaking skills. The teacher also said that she was satisfied with the students' speaking test scores after using the show-and-tell method in the teaching process. Based on the research results, it is concluded that; (1) The implementation of "show-and-tell" method was successfully implemented in the teaching and learning process and could improve students’ speaking skills of the seventh-grade students in SMP N 3 Karawang Barat. (2) Students also showed a satisfactory increase in scores before and after using the method. Also (3), this method elicited positive responses from both students and teachers.
