In fact, teacher usually uses a technique that makes the students bored or sometimes makes the students feel shy and cannot express their feeling. There are so many problems in teaching speaking English. One of the problems in teaching speaking English is the use of monotonous technique. One technique that can be used in teaching speaking is Educational Drama; it makes the students more interest in learning and improving their English speaking ability. The objective of this research is to find out whether or not there is a significant difference between the speaking ability of the eighth grade students of MTs.

ABSTRAKSI Riskiana, Anisah. 2013. Penggunaan Educational Drama dalam Pengajaran Berbicara pada Siswa Kelas Delapan di MTs. N 1 Kudus Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014. Skripsi: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, SS, M.Pd. (2) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd. Kata Kunci: Kemampuan Berbicara, Educational Drama Berbicara adalah aspek paling penting dalam belajar bahasa, terutama dalam Bahasa Inggris. Orang-orang biasanya menguasai kemampuan berbicara dahulu sebelum mereka dapat membaca dan menulis; inilah yang melatar belakangi kemempuan berbicara lebih ditekankan daripada kemampuan yang lainnya. Pada kenyataannya, guru biasanya menggunakan teknik yang membuat para siswa bosan atau kadang membuat siswa merasa malu dan tidak bisa mengekspresikan ide mereka. Ada banyak permasalahan dalam pengajaran berbicara Bahasa Inggris. Salah satu permasalahan dalam proses belajar berbicara adalah penggunaan teknik yang monoton. Salah satu teknik yang dapat digunakan dalam pembelajaran berbicara adalah Educational Drama karena dapat membuat siswa-siswa lebih tertarik dalam pembelajaran dan meningkatkan kemampuan bicara Bahasa Inggris mereka. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari tahu apakah ada atau tidak perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan berbicara pada siswa kelas delapan di MTs. N 1 Kudus pada Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan menggunakan Teknik Educational Drama. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan penelitian quasi-experimental sebagai rancangan penelitiannya. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes secara lisan dari pretest and post-test. Kemudian penulis mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis secara perhitungan statistik untuk mendapatkan hasil yang bagus secara akurat, komplit dan sistematis. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah kelas delapan MTs N 1 Kudus pada Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014 dan mengambil satu kelas 8C sebagai sempelnya yang terdiri dari 38 siswa. Hasil kemampuan berbicara pada siswa kelas delapan MTs. N 1 Kudus tahun 2013/2014, rata-rata pada pre-testnya adalah 52.05 dan rata-rata pada posttestnya adalah 79.31. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa t-pengamatannya adalah 29.96 pada tingkat siknifikan (α)=0.05 dan derajat kebebasan (df)37 yang diperoleh dari N-1, t-tablenya adalah 2.042. Dengan demikian Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Jadi hipotesis menyatakan, ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan berbicara siswa kelas 8 MTs. N 1 Kudus tahun ajaran 2013/2014 sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan menggunakan Teknik Educatiaonal Drama dikonfirmasi. Penulis berharap penelitian ini dapat digunakan para guru sebagai salah satu cara untuk memperkaya referensi tentang peningkatan kemampuan berbicara pada siswa kelas 8 dan sebagai pemahaman para guru untuk memilih Educational Drama sebagai teknik agar siswa lebih tertarik dan percaya diri dalam mengikuti pembelajaran. x
