Skripsi: English Education Department of Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (1) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd. M.Pd (2) Fajar Kartika, S.S. M.Hum Key words: Speaking Skill, Buzz Group. Speaking is the ability to express feelings, ideas, concepts, wishes, opinion or arguments, and so on thought oral sequences. Speaking is one of the skills which must be taught in Senior High School. So, the students should speak English fluently. But, In fact the eleventh grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus have difficulties to speak actively in English. They are lack of vocabulary and confidence to speak up. Based on the conversation with the English teacher, the students’ scores of speaking skill are still low and still under KKM. To solve this problem, the writer used buzz group in teaching English to improve their speaking skill. The objectives of this research are to find out whether buzz group can improve students speaking skill of the eleventh grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 and to describe the effectiveness of the buzz group as a technique to improve students speaking skill of the eleventh grade students of SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in academic year 2013/2014. Buzz group is a small group of people that is divided from a larger group who are given an assignment to complete in a short time period. This technique can help the students improve their speaking skill. This is a classroom action research. The research is conducted in SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014, especially in the eleventh Grade Students of XI Tehnik Otomotif.

In cycle II, the result of the test was 76.73. It means there was an increase and the score pass the KKM. The result of the students’ achievement test from cycle I to cycle II was increase 7.09.

ABSTRAK Ariyani, Anita. 2014. Penggunaan Buzz Group Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berbicara Siswa Kelas XI SMK NU Ma’arif Kudus Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014. Skripsi: Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd., M.Pd. (2) Fajar Kartika, SS. M.Hum Kata kunci: keterampilan berbicara, buzz group. Berbicara adalah kemampuan untuk mengekspresikan perasaan, ide, konsep, harapan, pikiran atau pendapat dan lain sebagainya secara lisan. Berbicara adalah salah satu keterampilan yang harus diajarkan di SMA. Jadi, siswa harus berbahasa Inggris dengan lancar. Tapi, kenyataanya siswa kelas XI SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus memiliki kesulitan untuk berbicara berbahsa inggris secara aktif. Kejadian ini disebabkan oleh beberapa factor. Mereka rendah kosa kata dan kurangnya kepercayaan siswa untuk berbicara. Berdasarkan percakapan dengan guru bahasa Inggris, skor siswa dalam berbicara masih rendah dan masih di bawah KKM. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, penulis menggunakan buzz group dalam pengajaran bahasa inggris untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara mereka. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah buzz group dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa dari kelas XI SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun akademik 2013/2014 dan untuk menggambarkan efektivitas buzz group sebagai teknik untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa kelas XI SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Kelompok Buzz adalah sekelompok kecil yang terbagi dari kelompok besar yang diberi tugas untuk menyelesaikan tugas dalam jangka waktu yang singkat. Teknik ini dapat membantu siswa meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara mereka Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas. Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMK Ma'arif NU Kudus pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014, khususnya di Siswa Kelas XI Tehnik Otomotif. Jumlah siswa dalam penelitian ini adalah 23 siswa. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan lembar observasi untuk mengetahui aktivitas guru dan siswa dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan buzz group. Penulis juga menggunakan tes untuk mengetahui tingkat keterampilan berbicara siswa. Hasil tes menunjukkan bahwa skor siswa pada siklus I adalah 69,64. Ini berarti bahwa tes itu tidak berhasil. Pada siklus II, hasil tes adalah 76,73. Ini berarti terjadi peningkatan dan skor siswa melebihi KKM. Hasil tes siswa dari siklus I ke siklus II meningkat 7,09. Dari lembar observasi, penulis tahu bahwa siswa menikmati untuk melakukan diskusi dengan menggunakan teknik Buzz Group dan membuat xi
mereka lebih mudah untuk menghasilkan ide mereka. Mereka menjadi antusias didalam kelas. Jadi, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa buzz group dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa dan effektif untuk pembelajaran berbicara. Penulis juga menyarankan bahwa penerapan penggunaan buzz group sebagai tehnik pembelejaran berbicara harus dilakukan oleh guru secara kreatif dan selalu mendukung siswa dalam proses pembelaran. Dan siswa juga harus blatihan berbicara secara teratur dan terus menerus untuk berbicara dengan lancar.
