not about what should be said only but what people should listen from you to

in order to express ideas and feeling to other people, to inform news, report, etc,
Many people feel that speaking in a new language is harder than reading,
writing, or listening for two reasons. First, unlike reading or writing, speaking
happens in real time usually the person you are talking to is waiting for you to
speak right then. Second, when you speak, you cannot edit and revise what you
wish to say, as you can if you are writing. (Nunan, 2003:48) It states that
speaking is more difficult than writing or listening and reading where in writing,

and it must be found and solved with social, cultural, or intellectual value.
There are a lot of problems in the world. One of the problems is speaking
problems of speaking English are, so there are three important experiences of the
are a lot confused English students and confused English learners. These students
know a lot of English. They know a lot of grammar rules. The problem is they
can’t understand instantly and effortlessly. They can’t speak clearly, confidently
and effortlessly. They know about English linguistics, the academic study of
linguistics, nouns and verbs and pronouns and phrases and clauses and different
verb tenses, all of that stuff, but they can’t perform. That’s a huge problem, all
these adult students out there who just can’t actually speak English well and
understand it well, even though they know a lot. Most schools, most programs
and, indeed, most students in those schools are focused on Academic English.
Academic English is the English that is used in schools, colleges and universities
at the highest level. It’s Academic English. So what are they focusing on? They’re
focusing on grammar rules. In other words, they are focusing on linguistics and
English for more than 10 years and he has been living in UK for 3 years. He is
very good at reading English. He reads a lot of textbooks, research papers, and so
on. But he cannot speak English automatically and fluently. He just cannot
talking to people.
According to Jinping from China (in BBC World Service, 2013:2), “He
has learned English for almost 15 years. He has no problem with reading and
listening but speaking has always been a problem for him because, when he was at
school, they always focused on grammar, vocabulary and exams. Now he really
wants to improve his spoken English to a new level, to achieve that freedom in
speaking in the near future. He would try anything to help him achieve this”.
1. School System
the curriculum is well matched to students’ interests and abilities and the teacher
emphasizes hands-on activities. When you teach the right things the right way,
wrong with your curriculum and instruction, you have somehow turned an
frustrating. We require students to come, then try to teach them stuff that they
don’t see a need for and don’t find meaningful. There is little support for
academic achievement in the peer culture, and frequently in the home as well. A
few students may be enthusiastic about learning, but most of them require the
grading system and the carrots and sticks that we connect to it to pressure them to
do at least enough to get by.” It means that what is taught in the school based on
curriculum or school system does not really focus students’ needs, abilities,
purposes but it emphasizes most theories or receptive skills such as; memorizing
words, understanding texts, doing exercises, dictation, learning grammar rules too
grade system and to pass national examination. So students feel bored, frustrated,
teacher but they get national examination for English subject finally. English
system better.
According to Lewis and Hill (1992:8-9), “In the majority of cases a basic
textbook is chosen and it is this which provides the practical classroom syllabus.
Inevitably, teachers tend to follow the book, deciding in advance how long they
can spend on each unit so that they will finish the book in a certain time. But the
object of the course is to teach the students, not finish the book!” It states that
textbooks, syllabus, and lesson plan may distract an English teacher to focus
students’ needs especially to speak and to write, so the teacher just thinks to finish
the book of made syllabus. Therefore the teacher must not finish the book but

speaking the language when they were babies. Therefore, a child who is still very

According to Fill and Mühlhäusler (2001: 113), “In order to help achieve

people always speak a language which is not used in the area while other people

students. Therefore the English teacher must not only be lay, amateur, technician,

etc.). It states that a professional teacher must have certain skills, knowledge, and
English, or being able to speak English but also having expertise of English
language consisting of mastering four English skills, listening, speaking, reading,
preparatory and ongoing learning, standards and commitment. The amateur does
things for fun, for the love of it: thus someone who knows English may have a go
she may do it well, or badly. But the professional cannot allow himself or herself
not to teach what the teacher likes but to teach what is needed by English students.
In addition, when a teacher who does not have English qualification and mastering

only to acquire certain skills, but also to be able to take courses of action that are
based on knowledge and thought, as distinct from automatic routines. Beyond
this, he or she has to understand the principles underlying both automatic and
consciously designed action, and be able to articulate them, relate them to each
other, and innovate. It states that a professional teacher teaches English not only
practically but also theoretically. So students can know what to do, why to do, and
how to do, where to do, when to do, and which to do firstly. In other words, a
professional English teacher masters knowledge and thought of English and its
writing, etcetera.
comes under the category of ‘professional’, and many academics would so define
doctor, architect, teacher on the one hand, and the research scientist on the other.
The professional is, first and foremost, a bringer about of real world change: The
doctor cures patients, the architect, designs buildings, the teacher brings about or
whereas the academic prioritises thought, though of course the professional also
thinks about his or her actions, and the academic acts in order to develop his or
her thinking. The distinction is thus one of emphasis and priorities rather than of
substance. It implies that a professional teacher focuses more on his students. His
students’ failure in learning process is his failure, but an academic does not really
focus on students but his responsibility at teaching so students’ failure is not his
especially for an English teacher should teach the students professionally in order
English teacher should speak English to students not only inside the classroom but
also outside the classroom to help his students improving his speaking and
listening skills. And the teacher can also help to improve other English skills.
b. Suspension
school systems use when all else fails.” It means that a punishment may be given
in the school, in the company, or anywhere in order to be better or the best, but
there are a lot of punishments which can be applied, so it must also be considered
based on situation and condition inside or outside the environment, whether the
punishment applied can affect people to get a better change not only inside but
also outside the environment. Therefore, employees need the regulation in their
company, students need the regulation in their school, university students need the

beginning as adults. And Oyama’s study (1976) in Richards and Renandya also
shows that many adults fail to reach nativelike proficiency in a second language.
Their progress seems to level off at a certain stage, a phenomenon which usually
called “fossilization”. This shows that the aging process itself may affect or limit
adult learners’ ability to pronounce the target language fluently with nativelike
pronunciation (Scarcella & Oxford, 1992 in Richards & Renandya). Even if they
can utter words and sentences with perfect pronunciation, problems with prosodic
features such as intonation, stress, and other phonological nuances still cause

Thus, to speak a language, one must know how the language is used in a social
context. It is well known that each language has its own rules of usage as to when,
how, and to what degree a speaker may impose a given verbal behavior on his or
her conversational partner (Berns, 1990 in Richards & Renandya). They mean
that learning a language should also learn people’s principle, behavior, attitude,
and culture because speaking to people who have different culture will confuse

thinking, and doing well. In addition, so, English learners should be encouraged to
build their self confidence firstly in order to learn English as a second language or
as a foreign language.
3. Learning Community
According to Caine and Caine (2010:21-22, & 25-27), “There are different
kinds of communities, and not all conversations lead to useful learning. The point,
however, is that although people vary in how much they like to learn and work
together, the brain/mind is social. Learning in the real world has always been a
partially social process.” There are some essential types of learning community as

share knowledge, idea, experience, and feeling, discuss and solve problems
together especially for English as a foreign language and be done by using the
spoken English.
b. Communities of Practice
“In recent years it has become clear that much of what people learn about
their jobs and professions is picked up informally from conversations with their
colleagues and others.” It states that what we learn, we do, and keep doing cannot

1. Affective Factor
It is one of influential factors that can affect English students’ success and
failure in learning and speaking English inside, outside the campus, or after
graduation from Teacher and Education Faculty of Khairun University. They are
as good as native speakers and vocabulary, to pass international exams such as:
job easily, to become an English teacher, to master all English skills; speaking,
writing, reading because they are in English program but if they are not able to
master all skills of English, and then they graduate, they will not be a professional

their major, their obligation, and their responsibility, to be the best of English, not
to care what non-English students watch or say to them arrogant because they are
practicing their spoken English, to feel happy to speak English in the classroom,
to feel proud of speaking inside or outside because English as their identity, their

ability, levels, and the punishment fitted inside and outside the classroom in the
campus, and to make English students different from students at Indonesian study
program and other study programs. They are as the motivation to reach their
purposes to what they need to be or to what they want to be. Even though there is
a lot of positive affective factor affecting English students, there is also a lot of
negative affective factor which can influence the English students’ failure to
master English knowledge and skills. These are some influential emotions, self
esteem, empathy, anxiety, attitude, and motivation on the students’ problem. They
are to feel shy to speak English when non-English students, other department
students watch or say to them arrogant, speak English in the public, and in front of
class, not confident if they speak English with other English students except their
close or best friends, afraid to speak English because of their bad pronunciation,
grammar errors, and lack of vocabulary, careless of whether they practice their
spoken English outside the classroom or not, indifferent to English students who
speak English with them, so they respond in their daily language (Malayu
Ternate); even though they can speak English, disappointed to their friends and
teachers who do not speak English with them while they need to practice their
spoken English and listening skill with their friends and teachers, angry to the

and outside the classroom in the campus, and also outside the campus. So when
the students speak English, sometimes they combine with their mother tongue,
first language, or local language such as: Wait me, kah..!!!, You, nih..!!!, that’s
the true one, kahao? Kahao (Kabagaimana), and We go dah, Mari..!!!, to master

listening, imitating, and speaking because the ways that they learned their first
language or mother tongue from those steps. That’s why, to help and to improve
their pronunciation, the students listen to English songs in the handphone, on the

strangers talking together when they met, will gather with the tourist to listen to
English, to listen their friends speaking and lecturers speaking, but the lecturers
rarely speak English or some students say, they never speak English with the
students outside the classroom because they speak English when they are teaching
in the classroom especially for teaching speaking subject. It can also influence the
Every teacher is a role model but they do not really teach the students to
do or to apply but to know and understand what they teach, motivate, tell, and

their daily life because the teacher just do when they are teaching, so the students
Some of English students want to become like their lecturers like how they
speak English, pronounce English words, and how they experienced studying
abroad, or others. So if their lecturers rarely speak English inside the classroom,
then the students may never speak English in the classroom, if the lecturers are
bored or lazy to speak English because of too much love of speaking their first
language or local language outside the classroom, then the students may dislike
speaking English in the campus except that the students join the debate

7. Learning Community
English either inside or outside the campus. Those are ESA study group, other
study groups; one of them is made for their classmate to study English, or
sometimes to speak English at the group, another made for teaching juniors, there
were also English Sharing Club (ESC) as a study group and also a community of
practice that divided into two classes or groups which was named Speaking Class
and Structure in the campus, and outside the campus, Allergy was a study group
and also a community of practice, it was made to teach full English each other
based on schedule made by us at the group, and there is a course that applies full
English speaking area, so teachers and students must speak full English there, but
if the students speaking Indonesian there must pay one thousand, and if the
All of the students agree to apply full English speaking area with the
discipline or punishment such as: paying a fine or giving a bad score because
without the discipline it will fail like what happened on the third floor, they had
made full English speaking area on third floor, but it was applied only for three
days or more than three days, It had been taken off, torn by the students, so it
really failed to be applied. Therefore, most of the students agree the discipline of a
fine payment in order to apply full English speaking area in the campus not only
on third floor, they want not only English students speak English but also the
lecturer speak English, and if only the students speak English and the lecturer
break the rules, it is useless. So if the students speak Indonesian (Malayu Ternate),
they must pay one thousand and if the lecturers speak Indonesian, they must pay
ten thousand or the other suggestion from some students, for the students who
speak Indonesian must memorize vocabulary, clean the bathroom for making
them shy in order to speak English, and be ignored by English students, and for
the lecturers, pay a fine for fund to make the activity at English study program
like study tour, and others. Some of the students agree to get a bad score “E” in
order to apply full English speaking area in the campus because if only paying a
fine, the students will pay because of having a lot of money or will not pay
because of renting room students, so better giving a bad score, it will motivate the
students to memorize a lot of vocabulary, study hard, and practice their English a
lot in order to be able to speak English in the campus and to get a good score.
9. School System
Most of the students studied English subject in junior and senior high
schools such as: getting reading text about advertisement, kinds of text; like
vocabulary then mention word by word in front of the class and explaining or
telling the meaning, reading the story in front of the class, most of speaking were
introducing themselves one by one in front of the class, greeting to friends in the
class, and one of them got listening in senior high school to listen native English
speakers speaking, there were also teachers in junior and senior high schools
understand in the classroom, one of the students’ the English teacher in senior
high school never spoke English, and outside the classroom, some of the teachers
never spoke English and some of them spoke English but only asked “How are
you?” and “What are you doing?”, and something like that. There are two students
who did not have English teacher in junior and senior high schools but they got
national examinations and passed them, one of them tell that he answered by
In junior and senior high schools, they had difficulty such as: lack of
vocabulary, English pronunciation, knowing English a little bit and no-one wanted
to speak English at school, knowing the meaning of some words but rarely using
them, shyness, no self confidence, fear to speak English with their friends and the
English teacher, never practicing, only learning the material, and unknowing

People who learned their mother tongue or first language is not based on
significance as, in addition to what is listened to, much of what is only heard
According to Lewis and Hill (1992:38), “Think of your first language, you
learned it without any effort, with nobody asking you to repeat or formally
correcting you. In the most obvious way possible, you mastered a very difficult
skill. You learned to speak your own language simply by listening to it. Second
language learning is not as different as people sometimes pretend again. The best

need to practice their spoken English and have no friends or partners to practice
(5/10) I always face to face in the mirror and there I speaking like

Therefore speaking is more difficult skill than other English skills such as
writing, listening, and reading which in writing, you may reconstruct it while
Many people feel that speaking in a new language is harder than reading,
writing, or listening for two reasons. First, unlike reading or writing, speaking
happens in real time usually the person you are talking to is waiting for you to
speak right then. Second, when you speak, you cannot edit and revise what you
Students are often reluctant to speak because they are shy and are not
they are being asked to give personal information or opinions. Frequently, too,
there is worry about speaking badly and therefore losing face in front of their
learning English, how well this teaching is done and how successful schools are in
creating a context in which students have access to English during the schoolday
will largely determine whether they acquire English at all and whether they
reply with Bahasa Indonesia. So sometimes it’s hard to speak English with
some friends but lecturer, there are some lecturer that also talk in English
to us, so we also answer it in English but not all also, (3/3)…when we talk
to the other department in English is different because they don’t know the
way to speak well in English and then when we talk English in English
sometimes they are lazy to speak. Maybe they are shy or something like
that…, (4/3)…not all of my friends, they know how to speak English, but

classroom, I feel confident because this is I talk with my friend and then
my lecturers also. Because this is we can improve our speaking and then
also other English subject. Outside the classroom, sometimes I feel shy
and then sometimes I cannot talk with English because my friends can
respond in English what I say, (4/9i) If I speak English with my friend and
another friend, they didn’t speak English, they look at us. I feel like
arrogant, so I will use Bahasa again, but actually, I really want them to
listen what did we say, I want not only with my close friend but also with

I am not really feel, not really confident. I’m afraid if my speaking is not

that anymore. Sometimes I feel it but I try to throw it away from me…,
because we only speak with our friend and sometimes they refuse, I don’t
with people or my friends outside the classroom, even the other semester
or the other program, I can keep speaking English with them because they
want to practice, they force to speak English with me. so I don’t care who

2. Sociocultural Factor
To speak a language, one must know how the language is used in a social
context. It is well known that each language has its own rules of usage as to when,
how, and to what degree a speaker may impose a given verbal behavior on his or
second language before mastering other skills of English Language such as:
listening, reading, and writing. It is also as measurement how well and successful
people learn English. As a theory states that the mastery of speaking skill in
the effectiveness of their English course on the basis of how much they feel they
Think of your first language, you learned it, without any effort, with
nobody asking you to repeat or formally correcting you. In the most obvious way
possible, you mastered a very difficult skill, you learned to speak your own

language can be seen in many ways, but for teaching purposes three are
stress and intonation are how it is said, and function is why it is said. (Lewis &
Hill, 1992:26). Consisting of those theories, there are negative impact and
process of how they learn and understand the language. Firstly, negative impact
which influenced the students to master and to speak the English language, it is
speaking, (7/2) Reading skill because in the reading skill, we get the
Indonesian…, (1-4/9h) The words is wait me, Kah!, You nih!..., (6/9h) I

I use Txxxxxx dialect and Gxxxxx. For example, “We go, dah mari.”,
“Finish, dah” I have ever spoken like that because if I join one course,
from the speaking we can able to write. So all of skills will be back in our

many vocabulary so if I have many vocabulary, its mean that I can easy to

this sometimes people cannot understand what you say and then what the
meaning, because sometimes we’re not from native speakers, then they not

reading and writing, (4/2) …the important one is vocabulary. After vocab,
because listening is the first skill in English, and the next one is
bad or good…, (10/2) Based the four skills in English, listening is very

Consideration of how people learn their own language soon leads to the
significance as, in addition to what is listened to, much of what is only heard

that acquirers who begin learning a second language in early childhood through
natural exposure achieve higher proficiency than those beginning as adults. And
Oyama’s study (1976) in Richards and Renandya also shows that many adults fail
shows that the aging process itself may affect or limit adult learners’ ability to
pronounce the target language fluently with nativelike pronunciation (Scarcella &
Oxford, 1992 in Richards & Renandya). Even if they can utter words and
that made the students difficult speaking as like as native English speakers. This
factor happened to the English students at English study program as stated by the
students as follows:

4. Aural Medium
Listening has the most important role to speak English accepted by most
people all over the world that they learned a language by listening, imitation, and
speaking the language in order to improve their spoken English as the theories
acquisition process is now largely accepted. And there is little doubt that listening

to copy the teacher or imitate the teacher as a role model, (11/9c) …if they

The notion of capitalizing on students’ existing motivation. This is only
the motivational orientations that your students bring with them, you will limit
automatically. The teacher who sees language as habit will see the necessity for
Teachers who teach the students English must know, understand, and
apply English as a habit, so they need to speak with students each other inside and
unsure of the answer. Members share the belief that “We’re all learning together,”
so confusion and mistakes are understood as natural parts of the learning process.
The teacher has a special place in this learning community, but he or she is a
language for very specific reasons; others, particularly those learning in a State
school system, are doing English because it is part of the system. In all cases,
however, students are more likely to enjoy the subject, and to succeed at it, if they
are involved in the learning process and, as far as possible, have a chance to
influence what happens, and how it happens. (Lewis & Hill, 1992: 9)
Teacher is the most important factor who influences students especially for
English students to listen and to speak English wherever they are whether they
speak English with other English teachers or lecturers and all English students
inside or outside the classroom in the campus not only when the students have an
English competition or event, or studying speaking subject I, II, and III but also as
long as English as their study program, they must speak English each other in
order to help when mistake happens to their students, share knowledge among
lecturers and students and keep their identity as English lecturers. Therefore,
lecturers should know some needs of students to become what they need and
want.
The following descriptions of the needs that are in the hierarchy from
lowest level needs to higher level needs. Figure 4.1 demonstrates Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs.
There are hierarchy level needs such as physiological, safety, love and
belongingness, Esteem, and self actualization, but in this context, focusing only
caring, belongingness, and perhaps love, the esteem needs are affiliated with the
by others, and lastly, the self-actualization need is the desire to do or be what one
is uniquely suited for. "A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet
Those needs above are really needed to have a better process by students
from a teacher. So when the teacher especially for English lecturers applies it
properly, every student will feel confident and happy to express their idea and
feeling by speaking English with their lecturers and other English students.
a mistake to believe that ‘a method’ exists which can guarantee success. Every
teacher knows that what works one day with one class, does not necessarily work
with a different class, or even on a different day with the same class. A textbook
which is appropriate to one situation, is often not suitable for another. (Lewis &
Hill, 1992:15)
Therefore, there are the negative impact and the positive impact which
influence the students at English study program, below the negative impact stated
by the students.
them like asking just simple question, How are you, ma’am? And they
respond in English but from them ‘No’. Maybe they are busy, so I don’t
want to disturb but if they are not busy, maybe I will speak a lot., (4, 7,
10/7) Never (The lecturers never speak English with us), I don’ know
their reasons., (6/7)…I only speak with some lecturer. They are not
teaching about speaking subject when I meet with them, I only ask them
only make Indonesian when they in out class, they respond in Indonesian
use English but just a little after that they change their language into
Indonesian and we keep communication using Indonesian, (1/9c) It’s best
for the students…if the condition all in English. It will help the students
also to copy the teacher or imitate the teacher as a role model, (1/16)
something else, they will tell that you must use this grammar, you must
use past or present in here. It usually ask to do that but if outside the
classroom, some the students also never talk in English to the lecturer,
and the lecturer also same too, just say like no problem at all just keep
talking in Bahasa. So if outside not to care about but keep our speaking
ability outside the class, ‘No!’ but inside the class, ‘Not really’ I mean
that usually they ask but not really, (2/16) They meet us, they speaking
English with us and keep speaking English with us. And if we are wrong
in our speaking, maybe they can correct us. Maybe, If I don’t speak
just…just sometimes they will speaking English with us, (3/16) When I
bad grammar they want to correct also, and then not just tell to me but to
this in this campus. Because I didn’t get it in this campus, they care our
speaking and for speaking subject teacher, they care our speaking
especially, there is in the classroom, (7/16) …they don’t care my English
speaking ability and they don’t want to keep my English speaking ability,
(8/16) I don’t know exactly, they just said “please talk each other with
English, and you will improve your English exactly!” but I didn’t find
anything, when they want to care about our English in the daily activity
subject, (9/16) When this university have the event like debate, they (the
lecturers) will ask us to join that the debate because your English is good,
so you must join that event, (10/16) They always care about it to us, they
always say that, “We have to study hard, we have to improve our
subject, she always talk to us, “We have to study hard, we have to
memorize some vocabulary, study about English more, and then we can
speak English well. They have care about our ability in speaking English.
And if keeping our speaking English, I think they just keep our speaking
the fact, my activity in the campus, I cannot find it, I never find it, so they
don’t care our speaking ability and keep it well outside the classroom in
the campus, (11/16) I think my lecturer specially for English program and
education, they only see the clever students in English program and
education, they didn’t show the another students and they have ability to
never care, they just care the people who join the competition and then
make the lecturer/teacher proud, they will train them, and then they make
The teacher who recognises language as a means to an end will see the
necessity for looking at why particular pieces of language are useful and, having
seen their purpose, will then be able to see their usefulness (or otherwise) for
for genuinely interesting texts, individualised teaching, pair work, free practices,
listening practices and many other classroom activities. (Lewis & Hill, 1992:23)
the person’s social environment. Along with family members and close friends,
teachers are significant others in the lives of their students, and thus in a position
interest… and then the lecturers give our motivation, and then (tip) how
we can speak well… the lecturer is very funny., (4/5) Because I like the
lecturers’ pronunciation. It is really nice to listen. Even I don’t
speaking…that’s why, I got motivate from her and also I like it, (8/5) …we
get the college in outside or abroad…, (9/5)… because the lecturer give
the example and the students get time to speak by using English, get the
grammar more, we just speak up. So the students who don’t know
grammar, they can answer, and speak up, (11/5) All of subjects, I like only
communication with foreign people, and then senior, and our lecturer,
(2/9c) …if they speak full English we can get many vocabulary and maybe
it’s very advantageous for us. And if we don’t understand what they are
saying, we can ask for them, I think they will be explain for us to make us
lecturers speak English each other, It’s good because they can make us
think wow our lecturers is very good in English, and then we must same as
they are, and then we can oh…our lecturers can speak English why we
take/speak like them., (4/9c) It’s nice, it’s good. It can help the students of
English study program because if the teacher of the lecturers speak
English, it will influence to the students. So the students will speak English
with the lecturers each other, (6/9c) I think that’s very good because they
invite us to speak with them and when they speak English with me and with
students to follow them without Indonesian and also they will make all of
the place is English speaking area, (8/9c) I think so great and fabulous
is the consciousness from them, they have to serve us because that is their
obligation because they have to teach us firstly from outside, so they will
teach inside and the practicing between inside and outside have to be
balance, (9/9c)…that’s good. That can motivate the students because they
say our teacher speak English, we must also speak English. If our teacher
speak English, and then for the other students that doesn’t know what the
teachers mean, they will think, if always like this, I cannot understand, it
means I must study hard, (10/9c) …the teacher have to use English first
before the students use, (11/9c) …if they always invite the students to
speak English/to use English, do not use Bahasa, and the students always
practice their listening then that make our habit, and then we have
with our lecturer, (12/9c) …if English keep speak with the students or the
same lecture. I think it will be motivated the students. The students will
speak English without the lecture force them to speak English because the
lecture speak in English program or inside of campus, (1/14) I think that
the first, the process must be start from the teacher like the teacher guided
English so the students will copy or imitate the teachers like ask what the
teacher do, ask what the teacher ask to them. Yes! Start from the teacher
(2/14) I think the teacher should be use full English in the class, can
bilingual but I hope the most in English. And they have to invite us to
speak up, (3/14) I think because maybe I want to be a teacher. And then I
must know about that. If I want to teach some class use English, firstly
must master the material first and then use full English in the classroom. If
then I just tell the little from Indonesian. Most language that I used is
English and they must bring dictionary and then open, and find what
words I mean. So they can get vocabulary, pronunciation, and then also
they can practice their listening skill, (4/14) I think we must apply rules
first. Like the example, If I teach English, I will make my own rules. No
speaking Bahasa only English in the class and also outside if they know
about the word in English, they can ask me in English like example, “Ms,
What is in English ‘Sleep’?” So I can write the word, and read and ask
them to repeat, (6/14) The first one is when the process English, it means,
mean the paragon when we want to teach them about English, we have to
explain them, give the example what is English itself. So that’s why, by
using English they will know about English and the important one and
English. It means when we speak they know about English and speaking
itself, (7/14) Always use English speaking and practice with teacher and
conversation at all. So the teacher will ask what your opinion to this
is/will has mistake in the step of the statement that they give so the
and we need to practice how to speak English. If the teacher already speak
teacher, (10/14) I think that I will make the discussing, make the students
explain what they discuss to the other friend, it means they have to
improve speaking skill, after explanation, I will apply it, I will ask to them
to apply to the other friends, to speak up to the other friend and then the
other friend will respond it, I will be facilitator, I will guide them, I will
listen carefully what they say, and there is mistake, I will make it right.
And then if they don’t apply, I will remind them to apply it or I will change
it like the first strategy, maybe by using games or interesting for them,
know, I asked them, what’s the meaning “difficult” example, and then they
answer “difficult” in Bahasa is Sulit. And this I imitate for their speaking.
The ways to learn English are listening and speaking, so my friends and
my lecturers must English with me, and I can listen and speak it, (12/14)
The teacher ask to the students make the conversation, give the assignment
to the students and then tomorrow she will asked to collect it. I think the
teacher should give the example how to learn English easily from her or
his experience when she study about English before and we have to
speak, (1/17) The first thing that they need to show that that students that
always speak English inside and outside the classroom. I mean that always
talk with them in English outside the classroom, give them warning if they
spoke Bahasa because if the teacher do it like that it means that the
students will also follow them because they make rules like they also did
by themselves, the rules also include them. It will be a role model for the
if full English can, but if we cannot understand, we can ask them, (3/17)
Maybe they want to give me some examples from their experience about
English, and then try to say to us the way they practice their English, and
when we get wrong in English, they give some examples to pronounce like
“paper” if you talk paper with wrong pronunciation, they will not
give some examples to talk together with our friends/all English students
in outside to improve our English, (4/17) The first one, they must speak
English whether inside or outside the classroom. The second, make a rules
“Do not speak Bahasa outside or inside the classroom even with your
speaking English full because they are speaking English is very good, and
(6/17) Of course, they have to push us like, they always speaking all of the
area when they come in the campus. It means, they use English full if that
words is difficult they have to try to explain about Indonesian first but
especially in the campus, they always make English inside and outside the
classroom, (7/17) the teacher have the rule or the teacher or the lecturer
start from them. Everywhere they use English… when they meet us as the
English lecturer in our campus is rare to speak with the other students, so
to motivate us in English, so they have to speak firstly, and then they have
maybe in debating that they have joined before, (9/17) Talk with us by
the punishment… if they speak Bahasa, if outside, just speak with the
students by using English, (10/17) …they always speak English to the
students, the students will feel, they care them, and they will speak English
too to the other friends like that., (11/17) The first our leader of English
program and education have to communicate with our internal E.S.A. The
“English Speaking Area”. And then students must speak English but now
the or the head of English study program didn’t make one program to
make students clever to speak English. They only teach us and then just let
it. So, I think the lecturer must give example if they teach us they must
speak English which their students and then they must make the rules, all
the best models because the teacher as the inspirator or motivator, she or
he should become role model in order that the students think that Wow!

or reject. As individuals construct their identities, they position themselves
through their language (and nonverbal behavior), that is, they use language to let
others know who they are and what their sociocultural allegiances are. (Murray &

have, believe, and do will not be affected by the people in the environment.
by English students with their lecturers inside and outside the classroom in order
to become true English students, to keep their identity distinguishing them from
preserving their English language at English study program; although there are a
lot of study programs at the campus. Those are also stated by English students
which have a negative impact and a positive impact. Firstly negative impact
every day. But English/foreign language, not all the people will knewn
learned from my mother from people around me. So I think after listening,
I try to pronounce this what that I get people around me. Maybe they say
that ‘Ho BoloHang’ and then I say mother, what is this, what is the
English and the mayority is the other program who use Indonesian. So
when we meet the other program, we keep communication with them using
Indonesian.
Secondly, the positive impact that will influence the students speak

because my brother learns English too but my parents no, so just say fifty
fifty, (1/9c) It’s best for the students…if the condition all in English…,
(4/9c) It’s nice, it’s good. It can help the students of English study
influence to the students. So the students will speak English with the
without Indonesian and also they will make all of the place is English
speaking area, (11/9c) …if they always invite the students to speak
English/to use English, do not use Bahasa, and the students always
practice their listening then that make our habit, and then we have
7. Learning Community
Community is a factor which has the important role whether makes the
students to speak English or to speak their mother tongue, their first language or
There are different kinds of communities, and not all conversations lead to
useful learning. The point, however, is that although people vary in how much
they like to learn and work together, the brain/mind is social. Learning in the real
world has always been a partially social process. (Caine & Caine, 2010:21)
unsure of the answer. Members share the belief that “We’re all learning together,”
so confusion and mistakes are understood as natural parts of the learning process.
(Brophy, 2004:28)
Language is a social science which people learn in the social context and
interact each other whether they learn it in the real life or online. But all works
have either negative influence or positive influence to the students as like the
(1/15) I don’t know why their reason because when they already
able to speak English but when suddenly I talk in English, they reply in
Bahasa because maybe they feel comfortable to do that outside the class,
think, they can answer or respond me with English too. Even I don’t
don’t understand, (3/15) I’m very disappointed and then I think they lazy
speaking…, (4/15) I feel upset because when I trying to speak English with
them. Because I know they can speak English but when they respond, they
will respond in Bahasa. It’s really…I really want to hit them if they don’t
want to respond in English. I will pinch him or her, (5/15) I think I don’t
care for my friend speaking and not speaking English, but I speaking

still use English although they don’t respond me with English because I
would like to improve my speaking skill. But if a lot of/some of them use
other, and when you are/know about English exactly, so you have to
practice with us, don’t waste your time or don’t be stingy to the other
and to make/to improve your English, you have to speak with the other
students although maybe the one or the man is best in English, don’t be
shy because that is make you improve your English anymore, (9/15)

they only want speak English like in debate, or others, and then they will

one club. I don’t give the name for club. There are four students inside, I
am as the teacher. I teach them every Tuesday and Thursday. Last time
ago, I join to English Sharing Club because English Sharing Club divide
two part inside, that is grammar class, and speaking class. And we
communicate, and with that has come an explosion in the use of different types of
bounded social networks such as those on Facebook. (Caine & Caine, 2010:26)
there are a lot of social which people can practice their English online especially
for the spoken English. It is stated by one of the students at English department

Whatever has to be applied must notice the influence on the students whether
influence negatively or positively. There are a fact of punishment applied that can
influence all students and all teachers in the community to speak English,
and their effectiveness and efficiency, and the students’ suggestions of applying
full English speaking area at English study program in the campus. Those are
stated below:
Practice
(1, 4, 9/9j) …English Training Center. I’m working there and also
study there a lot…If in the course, I talk always. It must there. Because
speak English there to help us to speak English well. If you speak Bahasa,
you must pay one thousand as the punishment. It is for the students but for
the teachers; ten thousand so different price, (4, 9,/9j) I join one course
place. There we speak English with our friends; the teacher or the
students. Because there’s the rules if we using Bahasa we will pay one
around our class. In here, the rules only on the third floor around our
class but in fact not happened too, and they don’t give punishment and
others so they think that oh! Not obliged for us to do but if it is make in the
campus. It’s better because it’s a good one. It means that we are English
department, we must able to speak English and learn not as a burden but
others or maybe give a bad score, probably it’s a good one. We are
It will be efficient because we’re doing that disciplinary. It means that the
students will do the rules, they will be very afraid if they didn’t do when
they didn’t realize that they are already capable in English so. So It’s
effective and efficient, (2/18) I think, it’s good idea if make the students to
more active to improve their English for better. We have program to speak
full English in this area on the third floor. They have attached but
someone took it off. Second point, achieving a bad score ‘E’ is better if
just pay, it’s really easy to them and it’s not to make them to study hard.
It’s not affective for them. Inside we cannot speak Indonesian, so we have
in second point “Give the bad score ‘E’”. It will make them to scare,
afraid, so they will be study hard to speak English more and more and it
practice and make them English better. So it’s really effective and
English department ever do like that on third floor not at the campus. And
then just pay a fine; pay one thousand for one word. (3/20) Maybe we
should do full English area and then if they use other language like speak
Bahasa, they will pay one thousand for one word. It’s effective and
efficient, (4/18) It’s good. It means, we cannot speak Bahasa with our
friends or with the teachers but if they have the rules like this, I want not
only the students follow the rules but also the teachers/the lecturers
because it’s useless if only the students follow the rules, but the teachers
break the rules. So the teacher must speak English to give examples or to
be the models, (4/20) It can be, but the problem is college is not like
course place or junior or senior high school. Because we ever applied the
rules before, they write the rules, and then they attach there “This is
English Speaking Area”, but they didn’t put the punishment, and the
problems is only maybe two or three days and one of the problems is the
lecturer because the lecturers do not apply and support it, (5/18) Very
when they want us to make English speaking area, it means they have to
make some rules, if they don’t make some rules how can the students will
apply their English especially when they do not make the rule, they have to
know and the students know what their program itself… they don’t care
about English… not to study about speaking, not only speaking right but
English the other, master the other knowledge. So for speaking, that is
must use the punishment and also the rules, (6/20) It’s really important for
the students because if they don’t know how to speaking English. It means
they are not English department. The rules or disciplines will we get then
by them, (7/18) I agree with that punishment, we can get bad score and
maybe, pay with the money; the student, 1000 and if the lecturer, 5000 one
word. , (7/20) To get the bad score, that is the punishment effect and
I have torn the regulation on the paper that I attached because I’m very
(8/20) Actually, when we give the punishment, it will not effective for them
suggest them its depend on themselves. But when we want to apply full
punishment like they will have the bigger risk in our funding system,
maybe they have to pay more for it. It will spend their money when they
speak Indonesian. So they will speak English, (9/18) That’s good for
English department. I agree with the rule that apply in English department
put like that, and then we already put the punishment, I think that it’s
really effective for the students, (10/18) I think it is good… when they
don’t use English, they will pay it, and then it is good, it will make the
students always keep their speaking English and the next time, they will
feel how about their ability in speaking English, their ability in speaking
English will good in the next time when they always try to apply speaking
English area. They have to always speak English, with it, they will keep
their speaking English. So better paying a fine, because they will not speak
Indonesian when they know the teacher apply it, because why? Because
every student in the campus, they don’t want take out their money, they
effective and the efficient, I think the teacher make something like; paying
a fine, achieving bad score to make the students more using English
outside the classroom, and then the teacher should make the others
activity to improve their speaking skill. So the punishments are effective
and efficient to make the students applying full English speaking area in
area the lecturer have commitment if the students speak Bahasa, the
lecturer must give to the students punishment example, pay one word; one
and the students will keep speaking English at English study program.
(11/20) The students know English itself. So the regulation or rules can
make the students apply full English speaking area, (12/18) My opinion
about that if English program apply full English speaking area or the head
of English program discuss with the other lecture to apply full English
area like give the punishment to the students, it will make the student force
applied. (12/20) It’s really effective and efficient like I said just now. Give
them bad score outside and inside the classroom. So they will keep
speaking English.
(1/19 Pay! Not only pay because we know that most of our students
are a renting room student. So if we ask them to pay one thousand even
one thousand they will say that as prestigious for them so as a good one to
make them speak English from that, and give a bad score probably it’s
better. So but our lecturer are not around for us every time. But if it is they
saw it. Maybe they couldn’t do like that. And that’s good. Only that, I
don’t know other rules, (2/19) Maybe we can use the two of the point
before that we have to make speaking area inside the campus. Speaking
English especially for English students and then speak English everywhere
in the campus. If non English students speak Indonesian with them, better
My suggestion, if they don’t want to speak English, what they are saying
score if they don’t want to speak English. Actually I agree with the
punishment with pay if they speak Bahasa, but I think if the punishment
only pay if they speak Bahasa is not effective; because they will think that
they have a lot of money, so they will speak all the time they want. After
they speak Bahasa, they can pay, right, (6/19) We only need about the
payment/the pay. If they speak Indonesian in this area, they have to pay
right. I ever make/I ever meet in the course place when they speak
Indonesian. They will pay in this campus, it will be good for the students’
speaking, (7/19) To clean the bathroom on the third floor because there is
make them shy, (8/19) Like you have to pay, maybe like you memorize
some words to report us, maybe you have mistake to speak Indonesian one
word, you have to pay with five words in English in the community… But
for the lecturers, actually they have to speak, when they don’t speak
English, they have to pay us. Maybe, about the success of the program, so
they have to pay us, maybe about our fund, so it will help our program to
the next for make the announcement, make the information to the other
students, (9/19) we already attached it the rule but I don’t know exactly
who take it off, that’s the rule of we already read, that is “English
Speaking Area”, the punishment like the bad score, put the box for paying
one thousand if they speak Bahasa, (10/19) They have to pay. I have no
thousand for student and for lecturer, ten thousand examples like that, and
inside the lecturer must to speak full English, even I don’t understand
because the lecturer have the strategy how they speak full English and
then the students understand, (12/19) The first is about score, get bad
score when they speak Indonesian. Because the students if we just give
simple punishment, they don’t care, and they think that I just get the
punishment like that, I don’t speak, never mind I will pass my subject if the
lecture apply keeping speaking area at campus. If the students don’t want
to speak English, get bad score like “E”, the students will force theirself to
speak English and they think that if I don’t speak English, I never pass this
subject, I never graduate forever. I that is the most effective discipline that
should be applied.

emphasis is on the fact that language is not used in a vacuum but by one person to
The teachers should teach based on the students’ needs and how they make
the students to solve their problem of learning especially for English learning, so
the teacher must not only focus on the syllabus but also focus more on the
the schools:
(5, 11/11) I not learn English in junior and senior high school. And
know (1-10), (A-Z) number and alphabet from self study not form teacher,
talking and then they just say, Yeah! “Just talk in Bahasa, we don’t
understand. So it’s get difficulties and we are trying to help them but they
don’t want it, (2/13) It’s vocabulary because in junior or senior high
always use the local language, most use local language in outside…,
(3/13) Because I never study about English, so it make me feel shy or not
confident or crazy maybe until I’m crazy because I don’t understand about
what they say, and then when they give me some text full English, I looked
at the text and then wow…it’s very difficult and then I want to take my
dictionary. And then I cannot to translate all of the words from this text.
And then I give up and give back to my teacher and then I get bad score
from English because I’m lazy to study English in junior high school…,
(4/13)…because I know only a little bit about English at the time. So it’s
English at school. Yeah…it’s like only some word, we know the meaning
but we rarely use it. It can be never, (5, 11/13) No English Teachers,
focus because we have a lot of subjects like mathematics and also the
teacher and my friends, that is difficult. But when I only made some for
when I was in senior high school, and the mental block because mental
blog talking about our psychology, so we was shy when we meet the other
students, and we have to talk with them with English…, (9/13) The difficult
think about grammar, the most students feel difficult when they try to
speak English because we are afraid when we try to speak English with
the other friend or teacher, (12/13) Because I don’t know about the
difficulties that I face when learn about English, (1/11) Mostly they are
about; almost junior and senior same subject for me because all of the
questions around the advertisement, about kind of text and others; how to
write down a kind of text, how to know usually a lot in reading section,
and then and we practice in front of the class in senior high school. And in
senior high school we still learned about text but about procedure text like
memorized and then tell, and in class we discuss about some issues that
still new issues, (3/11) In junior high school, they used Indonesian
language but if they read the text with English because of the text in
speaking was not natural anymore, (4/11) In junior high school, Only
wrote on the whiteboard, and ask us to write down, we read, we find the
meaning. In senior high school, It’s better than junior high school, My
English teacher sometimes she used the tape, she let us to listen with the
native speakers said. And after that, she usually ask to stand up in front of
the class, and ask us to introduce ourselves, or tell about our own
experience, or she will ask something and then we can answer, (6/11) He
taught English in senior high school. And junior high school, he is English
department also. In junior high school, he only gave us about the
English. In senior high school, I studied more than junior high school. In
senior high school, the teacher always make us to learn about Tenses and
speaking, he only make us to read the text, (7/11) In junior and senior high
schools, they ask us to make assignment, listen when they read it. So
maybe that’s only formality in senior and junior high school, (9/11)…In
high school, we read text, the title is about Tea, and then of course simple
present and simple past tense, that’s always, (10/11)…but in junior high
school, I forgot. She only taught English in senior high school. She taught
us about story, and then how we translate the story, and then we have to
explain it in front of the class. Always translate and translate from first till
university, They teach like the other school. They just give the book and
then ask the students to read the conversation after that make conclusion,
and then we collect our task to the teacher and then finished learning
process in junior and senior high school, (2/12)…we don’t too much
senior high school but in junior high school just in the class, outside ‘No’.
speaking English if she meet us so just say, ‘Hello, what are you going?
with English, (3/12)…I don’t understand because I don’t know what is the
way to speak English and then I just say “Yes/No”. In senior high school,
what my teacher say to me but just a little word like I ever listened before
like ‘How are you? When they give us some motivation, (6/12) In senior
high school, he always teach English when he come firstly, when he the
first class, when he come to the class, he always speak English but a little,
use English full but combine it; In English and Indonesia, like greeting
and ask us to repeat. So she combine it when she read the some text. But
outside no speaking, (12/12) They never speak English with me or with us.
practices teachers must not correct every mistake, and indeed must positively
encourage students to use all means at their disposal to get their message across. If
this involves using their hands, drawing, making up new words, etc. this is all to
the good. (Lewis & Hill, 1992:36) statements below stated that the students got

mentality to speak inside and sometimes outside the classroom, and to be able to

example the under of the trees because the trees give our some air, maybe
some air to talk, we can talk the other enjoy. In senior high school, I was
can take anything that I want in English, (8/12) They would talk to me
directly, and when they meet me, they always use English because the first
English.
10. The Students’ Implication
speaking English when the teacher does not speak English, respond in English, or
speak Indonesian as his first language means giving a negative effect to his
students while the students speak English or need English speaking to become as
like as their teacher or when he always speaks English with all English students
and with the teachers means giving a positive effect which makes the students to
speak and to keep speaking English because of their teacher as a role model, based
How teachers provide feedback can influence their learning. For example,
teachers often, in taking the role of empowering learners and expecting them to
become autonomous learners, relinquish the role of coach. Perhaps they do not
performance, feedback that learners are not able to act on. Or, teachers focus on
their role as monitor of progress and accentuate the negative, rather than the
English teachers always speak English each other and with English
students that has the strongest influence to their students to practice their spoken
motivated to speak English with the lecturers, to show the other students that we
are from English department, etc. Those are stated by respondent I through XII
means that the teacher or the lecture also want to the student ability in
speaking English and they are testing them and then students also talk
with the lecturer to fix themselves so that’s a good one to do, (2/21) It’s
good if the lecturer can speaking English each other and with the students.
I think it’s good. It will improve our English speaking because we listen
their speaking and get new vocabulary, pronunciation too. The way they
speak like dialect, accents that they use in speaking. So it’s very benefit for
us, (3/21) It’s very good because they use full English because they ask to
like that. They must become role models for their students, (4/21) If really
good solution, It’s a good solution. Because If the lecturers speak English,
and also the students, speak English with the students. It will be make
students of English department will be good in English, they will not speak
Bahasa again with the lecturers. So it will be really effective, it can help
English, so I must speaking English, (6/21) Oh! I think that is very good. I
really agree about it because when they know about English, the other
friends, actually the other department they will know oh…they are English
wherever we are. So that’s why, that’s really good for us especially in the
campus, (7/21) If they use English when they speak, I very agree, but if
they use Indonesian or speak Bahasa. I disagree because that is not
very happy and I will think, it’s so adorable because every student will
speak English and the lecturer also, so I think the communicate will be
fluently, and will be opened the way or the gate to the affective or efficient
speaking is the first or the first identity that the English student has and
the lecturer also, so maybe there escape or the way out to make or to
create our department will be best. So every mission and vision of our
department will be succeed when the teacher and the lecturer and the
students will speak English everyday or one another, (9/21) I think that is
good to build our speaking ability in English, if we are speak with our
lecture by using English. That is can practice our speaking itself, and then
speak like this and then the lecturer; oh…that must like this. I think that’s
area especially English department, (10/21) I think it’s really good for
them, for the students too, when they always speak English, they can
improve their ability in speaking English. and I think that if the teacher
speak English too, it is the motivation for the students too because when
the students speak English with their friends, it is usually happen in their
daily activity. But they speak English with the lecturer, I think never, so, if
the students speak English with the teacher, they feel something interesting
in their mind because it is never happen before, so the students will get
It’s very, very good if the lecturer and students communication in English
in other place and English area, (12/21) I think that is wonderful, amazing
if English students and the lecturers keep speaking each other in the
campus. It will show our identity of English program, better or the best
A. Conclusion
applying full English speaking area at English Study Program in the Teacher and
factors as follows:
1. Affective Factor
There are a positive impact and a negative impact but both impacts depend
on each other. Even a positive impact can be similar to a negative impact when it
does not work socially. Therefore when some of the English students speak
English in the campus at English study program, they have some difficulty of
laziness, etc because of other English students or non-English students say them
other English friends do not speak English with them, non-English students watch
them speaking English, other English friends do not understand what they speak
The English students get the problem when they speak English with their
friends, juniors, and seniors at English study program in the campus because of
little practice of their spoken English, so the problem faced by the students is the
combination of two languages for instance; when they speak English, they
combine with their mother tongue or first language. It always happens to them
because of lots of speaking mother tongue or first language and listening to it.
the most English students which they believe that a language is learned by
memorizing the vocabulary, reading a lot of books, studying grammar rules, and
practicing pronunciation..
language in Indonesian. So all the English students are always influenced their
spontaneously.
4. Aural Medium
Listening to English teachers’ spoken English all the time in the campus at
English study program has a good impact to the English students to imitate their
English teachers as role models, to practice their listening skill, to create it as their
habit, to learn a lot of vocabulary, to improve their speaking skill, etc if the
teachers always speak English in the campus, but it happens to the contrary.
5. Professional versus Academic
In this case, the lecturers seldom speak English with the students even in
the classroom, and it happens when getting speaking subjects, outside the
classroom, sometimes either the English students speak English with them but
they respond in Indonesian or the English students speak English with them and
they just respond in English for a while but after that they change speaking
Indonesian and keep speaking Indonesian. Sometimes, they just ask the students
for speaking English each other to improve the students’ English but in the
campus, the lecturers do not care the students’ speaking ability or keep it properly.
it’s only in the classroom about speaking subjects or the subjects related to
speaking English. Moreover, the lecturers also have favoritism to who is clever,
In addition, The English students wish English lecturers become their role
models, motivators for speaking English in the campus or everywhere they meet,

and Education Faculty of Khairun University especially for English students and
lecturers because of the minority is English study program and the majority are
other study programs. So the English students are impacted to speak Indonesian
and keep speaking Indonesian every day. Meanwhile, the English study program
has not been able to show its identity as an English major, to distinguish English
study program from other study programs especially for Indonesian study
program, to keep spoken English, and to preserve the English language in the
language in Indonesian.
7. Learning Community
The English study program is a community of study, but it has not been a
community of practice yet because the English students still speak Indonesian
each other even they can speak English or respond in English when other English
students want to practice their English with them but they just respond in
Indonesian. It made the students who want to practice their spoken English with
them are disappointed, upset, etc, for online community, most the English
students do not have online community especially for practicing their spoken
English. On the contrary, most the students had ever joined an English speaking
community outside the campus where in the group (Allergy) they were forbidden
speaking Indonesian inside the group, English speaking class at English Sharing
Club inside the campus, the students always practiced their spoken English, some
of the students have joined an English course (ETC) in Toboko where English is
only spoken, the other English students do not join any English speaking
community, and one of the English students has the community online for
speaking English but he records his video and puts into the group for sharing
of the rules that can make English students and lecturers to be united to feel who
they are, what their identity is, where they are in, which distinguishes them from,
and what can keep them in the English study program. The first is applying
English speaking area at English study program in the campus, the second is to
make some disciplines not only for English students but also for English lecturers
obeying the rules to speak English as their identity in the campus, studying hard
and to keep speaking English in order that the students and also English lecturers
who disobey the rules will get the discipline or punishment. On the contrary,

Experience is the best teacher and the best teacher is full of experience.
The English students who rarely speak English at the campus may be affected by
what they experienced in the past at the schools because most the English teachers
taught the students English more theoretical orientation than practical orientation
and the students were focused most on studying kinds of texts, reading texts,
English, and speaking most mother tongue or first language. Therefore students
got a lot of difficulty like having least vocabularies, rare pronunciation practice,
rare spoken English practice, moreover, the two students could pass the national
exam especially for English subject without studying English at the schools
because of no English teachers. In this case, then the English teacher at the
schools must not only have English knowledge, English bachelor diploma or
English master diploma but also have English skills especially for productive

e. Listening to English
According to Lewis and Hill (1992:38), “Think of your first language, you
learned it without any effort, with nobody asking you to repeat or formally
correcting you. In the most obvious way possible, you mastered a very difficult
skill. You learned to speak your own language simply by listening to it. Second
language learning is not as different as people sometimes pretend again. The best
way to learn is through good listening.” It means that learning English should
learn how to listen like a baby, to imitate like a baby and to speak like a baby. It
does not mean to become a baby for listening, repeating, imitating, and speaking
but the way babies listened to acquire speaking. For understanding what this
means, having flashback how you learned to speak when you were still a baby or
a child. Did you acquire your mother tongue by reading lots of books or studying
grammar? The researcher believes that what you did is not like what you do now.
Actually, you should be like a baby or a child in learning a language because the
language which you use now is the result of lots of listening, imitating, and
speaking then you learn to understand the arrangement of the words, the meaning
of the words such as: synonyms, antonym, homophone, homograph, and so on,
and the politeness of word usage in order to acquire productive skills; spoken
education or a non formal education well. Imagine that what language is used now
if you did not learn the language like a baby or you learned the language like an
adult.
they did before. They can think about how to re-word things or just get a feel for
listening, imitation, and speaking. As an old Russian proverb states that repetition

your smartphone or computer is a great way to see how you really sound when
speaking English. You can compare your pronunciation to that of native speakers
madness but to practice English before speaking with other people. So to practice
spoken English, you may also evaluate how well you speak English by self
recording.
Remember! Never just speak and record yourself without practicing your
To speak English, people need to think from source language into target
language to express what they want to speak but it cannot help them to speak
English because of noticing something and thinking in the first language which
their first language or mother tongue cannot help students to speak English easily
and naturally. So what you notice around you should be known its English word,
its pronunciation, and its sentence, listening something in their first language use
is useless except translating it into English language. What you need is not
thinking the source language but thinking the target language such as: Ideas,
information, opinion, meaning, etc. Thinking in English means when you look at
the object and you get the English words of the object in your mind to express
Fluency is the first goal. It means being able to communicate you ideas
without having to stop and think too much about what you are going to say. And
accuracy is the second goal. It means that you speak without errors of grammar
and vocabulary. Many people are very complicated to speak because of starting
from accuracy not fluency. They have forgotten the way that they learned since
they were babies. If they learned a language by studying grammar rules, they
would not speak the language automatically and instantly. In order to achieve the
fluency of speaking, stop thinking the grammar rules and after that English may
be continued with speaking accurately. Speaking accurately means you learn the
grammar from step by step practice. In other words, practicing grammar rules is
Speaking English is great. You do not need to be shy, afraid, and all
speaking English inside and outside the campus or as a crazy man because of
speaking with yourself. In fact, you only need to practice your English fluently
and accurately. So you must ignore your friends or whoever do not care your
efforts to be able to speak English if they do not really need your help.
A closest friend is a friend who is always with you, always gives you
suggestion, supports you, and helps you to solve any trouble. So you need starting
to speak English with a closest friend. A closest friend is needed when you are
partner to practice your English especially your classmate, your English friends at

listen from basic listening to advanced listening. It should be done every time.
Listening in this modern era is really easy because there have been a lot of
sophisticated technologies such as: hand phone, computer, and so on. Which you
can listen English; English music, lecture, speech, interview, dialog, debate, etc,
can imitate native English speakers’ pronunciation, and speak like them.
Speaking English needs to be varied into students’ levels. When you speak
English to your English friends must be considered how well they can understand
what you mean. However speaking English to your friend who is still a beginner
or in a low level, you should speak slowly, clearly, and simply to help them

What you don’t know must be admitted in order to be helped and told.

o. Consistency
Consistency is needed to keep speaking English, never think that you look
so arrogant when you speak English, never speak a language that you speak every
day with English students, never ignore English students but care them by full
English speaking, never let your English friends and whoever can speak English

a. Teacher as a Facilitator
b. Teacher as a Counselor
The teacher should change the situation of teaching and learning process to be
relaxed, enthusiastic and fun in order that; the students can speak English like
Indonesian because the teacher has provided the good condition so that they can
learn and practice their English and spoken English anytime and anywhere
independently.
d. Teacher as a Role Model
Paragon is the best way to be. In teaching Spoken English and other
English subjects the teachers must give a good example to his or her students of
how he or she speaks English. Therefore, if the students always speak Indonesian
while learning English speaking or other English subjects, it must be from their
teachers.
e. Teacher as a Motivator

but also created to motivate teacher themselves in speaking English inside the
English language learning process should be taught for the students’ needs

speak English with the students, teaching vocabulary is to teach the students word
usage in speaking and writing, teaching pronunciation is to teach how every word
also practically.
g. Teacher as a Manager

Disciplinary action (Score punishment and Fine “Paying for disobedience”) may
be applied by the teachers to the students for the bad score like “E”, and for the
fine payment among the students and the English lecturers when they speak their
daily language or local language each other at English study program in teacher
