After that both personalities of students’ speaking skill are measured. The students’ speaking will be about one topic chosen, and after the writer discuses with Mrs. Ririn as a teacher in second grade students of Wijayakusuma School, we determine that the best topic is interview. Each of them should be expressed by their own words with their best. After the students’ speaking are recorded, they are scored by their own English teacher. When all scores finished, he designs frequency distribution and a comparative analysis with two independent samples. T-test calculation, then, is used to prove the significant data. And the last step to do is answering hypotheses of the research. The results of the study states that the students’ personality difference has no statiscally significant difference to the students’ English speaking competence. Both groups, the sanguine and the phlegmatic students may perform better English speaking skill through their own way of learning. Key terms

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study Most people assume that language is one of the cultures that cannot be separated from human life and there is no activity without using language. Language is a symbolic guide to culture.1 By language, people understand each other, and interest as part of a society. There are many languages used in this world, such as Indonesia, English, Arabic, French, Chinese, Japanese, and many others. One of languages used in this world is English language, and now English becomes an international language. English as a compulsory subject to learn in formal school in Indonesia was concentrated on the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Beside that, one of the four skills which play a significant role in mastering English is speaking. As a skill, speaking is the most used skill by people rather than the three other skills. According to Richards, “Learners consequently often evaluate their success in language learning as well as the effectiveness of their English course on the basis of how well they feel they have improved in 1

their spoken proficiency.”2 From the statement, the writer would say that most language learners study English in order to develop proficiency in speaking. Besides, many language learners regard speaking ability as the measure of knowing a language. These learners define fluency as the ability to converse with others, much more than the ability to read, write, or comprehend oral language. They regard speaking as the most important skill they can acquire, and they assess their progress in terms of their accomplishments in spoken communication People have known about the branch of science since hundreds years ago which is named by psychology. One of the most popular discussions in the science of psychology is personality. If we look into the history of philosophy for a moment, we observe that personality has been often associated with what we call thinking or reasoning. According to Leibnitz, personality referred to “a substance gifted with understanding.”3 If we consider the reaction of various persons to the same experience, we will find that it is different in every one of them; it may be quick and lasting, or slow but lasting; or it may be quick but of short duration, or slow and of short duration. This personality or manner of reaction, or the different degrees of excitability, is what we call "temperament." According to Socrates, one of the most renowned of the Greek sages, there are four temperaments: the sanguine, the choleric, the melancholic, and the phlegmatic. The first two are also called extroverts which have active trait, and the last two are introverts which have passive trait. The active trait and the passive trait affect an individual willingness to speak, of course the extrovert students are more talkative than the introvert students which rather like to keep silent. As English teacher, we are required to understand students through their

personality. And in this case, the discussion merely narrowed to the sanguine and the phlegmatic. The writer chooses the different classification of personality, one from extrovert and another from introvert. It is because the writer arranges to do comparative analysis in this study. The analysis is aimed to seek similarities and differences from the theory that is about the sanguine and the phlegmatic. After that, the performance in speaking of a group of students who belong to both personality types is compared by using their score. After the author consulted with his colleague who once has taught at SMP Wijayakusuma before, then followed by visiting and sharing his opinions with SMP Wijayakusuma English teacher about the speaking subject, it was clearly seen that both type of personality were found at school. During learning the sanguine and the phlegmatic students demonstrate different style and performance; they also participated differently in class. The students’ level which becomes the object of the study should be specific. Therefore the writer selects the students on the second year of SMP Wijayakusuma. The second grade students’ competency in English speaking skill based on suggestion from English teacher at that school is pretty good. That is because many are able to engage themselves in a good and fair communication in speaking session, and some of them can perform almost excellent English when they speak. Based on brief background about the students’ personality and the students’ learning of English speaking skill above, the writer wants to have the study for his “skripsi” under the title “A Comparative Analysis on Sanguine and Phlegmatic Students Concerning their English Speaking Skill” (A Comparative Study at the Second Year Students of SMP Wijayakusuma).

B. Identification of the Problem Problem and challenge for teacher clearly appear because students with different personality are in one class. There is a group with active and talkative students and other group is the group of passive students who really love to keep silent when they are learning. The active students in speaking are named by sanguine personality then the passives belong to phlegmatic personality. The related problems that can be identified to the sanguine personality and the phlegmatic personality of students are such the example below: 1. The sanguine is extrovert person and the phlegmatic is the introvert person. They may create gap in learning, 2. The sanguine has mostly a strong leadership and the phlegmatic tends to be a follower, 3. The sanguine student is domineering speaker than the phlegmatic student, 4. The sanguine student likes speaking in less intensity and quantity than the phlegmatic student. However, several problems between the sanguine students and the phlegmatic students were identified. The problems occur in teacher and learner interactions. Now the writer just needs to specify them in order to be focus on the following point
C. Limitation of the Problem Due to the broadness of the topic discussion as the problems have been identified above, this study will be limit on the area how sanguine and phlegmatic type of personality is different and similar. Based on the theory, the sanguine students including their traits generally have a potency to be better in speaking ability than the phlegmatic students with their special traits. To test the theory, the students with the sanguine and the phlegmatic personality will be compared by their English speaking score which describe their competence in speaking.

D. Formulation of the Problem Based on the background and limitation of the problem that is about comparing the sanguine and the phlegmatic students to their English speaking score, the research question of this ‘skripsi’ can be formulated as Do the sanguine students get better English speaking score than the phlegmatic students in English speaking activity? E. Objective of the Study In this comparative study, the writer wants to know whether the sanguine students get better English speaking score than the phlegmatic students in English speaking activity.
F. Significance of the Study The finding this study is expected to gain awareness of the teachers about the difference of student type in mastering materials especially in English speaking skill. In addition, knowing personality type varies the students’ way to encounter their learning activities. Therefore, teachers can adapt strategy and technique in order to teach each type of students’ personality to improve their English speaking skill.
CHAPTER II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK In this chapter the writer tries to give clear description of theoretical framework which is consisting of personality, speaking, relevant study and research hypothesis. Personality consists of the understanding of personality, psychology of personality, the sanguine personality, and the phlegmatic personality. Speaking consist of the understanding of speaking, the functions of speaking, types of speaking skill to promote skill, and the assessment grading scale of speaking. A. Personality 1. The Understanding of Personality When you talk about someone’s personality, what do you really mean? Have you ever heard someone say, “She’s very aggressive” or “He’s so shy - such an introvert!” or “My mother is really sweet?” Or how about “He’s very dependent” or “She's got a terrific personality - a lot of sparkle!” the writer thinks you have heard exactly those words. In contrast to psychologists’ use of the term, when the average person uses the term, “personality” has a variety of meanings, each unique to the situation in which it appears.

Many different descriptions about personality are possible, but when most people use the term “personality”, sometimes they are using it for one of two purposes. In several examples, personality is labeling an obvious feature. Someone is sweet, or introverted, or shy, or aggressive. Each child is born with a unique personality. A great deal is learned through circumstances and other people, but most people believed it was inherent in us by the time we are born. Personality is made up the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that make a person unique. Personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life. The meaning of the word “personality” may be somewhat vaguely associated with the idea of social attractiveness. To say that one has personality is generally considered to be a compliment, implying a high degree of acceptability by some group. The exact meaning of the word is seldom clear to those who use it, but if pressed to explain further what they mean by personality, they may describe it as charm, good manners, verbal facility, and physical attractiveness.1 Allport2 has made perhaps the most exhaustive survey of definitions of personality, some fifty in number, beginning with the etymology of the word “persona,” which originally denoted the theatrical mask worn in the Greek drama and later used by the Romans. In extending the concept of “persona,” it came to mean external appearance (not the true self).3 Allport attempted to combine the best elements of the previous definitions while avoiding their major shortcomings. First, he suggested that one might briefly define personality as “what a man really is”. However, he agreed that this is too abbreviated to be very helpful and

preceded to the better known definition: Personality is the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his unique adjustments to his environment.4 Whereas in Personality Psychology, Larsen defines personality as the set of psychological traits and mechanisms within the individual that are organized and relatively enduring and that influence his or her interactions with, and adaptations to, the intrapsychic, physical, and social environments.5 Good-organized traits make students’ personality shaped well from his adaptation and interaction, and after that he is ready to engage in school environment and society. From the definitions of different psychologist written above, the writer can conclude that personality is total-complex psychophysics (trait, behavior, taste, etc) of an individual influenced by several factors; innate capacity and environment which determine an individual action and reaction.
2. Psychology of Personality Psychology of personality is not a new case to be discussed in psychology. The branch of knowledge has been studied by the experts for a long period. This study doesn’t try to make a wide discussion in psychology, which has sub-discussions; general psychology, specialized psychology, and applied psychology. In specialized psychology, Nana Syaodih gives some examples such as psychology of development, male and female psychology, psychology of personality, abnormal psychology, differential psychology, and animal psychology.6

The psychology of personality which is our focus expects to show about the perspective in understanding human beings. It is based on their personality from variety of theories analyzed by psychoanalysts from the early beginning of study. When people open a discussion in a psychology of personality field, there is clear description of several theories. Sumadi Suryabrata gives categories that could be used to classify the theories. They are: a. Based on the personality component set as the framework or stepping stone in compiling theoretical formulations. The theories are as follow: 1) Constitutional theories, such as Italian-based theories, Frenchbased theories, Kretschmer, Sheldon, and so on. 2) Temperament theories, such as the theories of Kant, Meumann, Enselhans, Heymans, and Ewald. 3) Unconscious theories, as in the theories of Freud, Jung, Adler, and their followers. 4) Factors theories, like the Eyssenck’s theories, Cattell, and so on. 5) Cultural theories, such as in Spranger theory. b. Besides the category above, the basic of categorization that estimated to be very useful is the arrangement on the basis of approach. This segment is divided into two groups of theories. 1) Theories of typological approach, as in Plato, HippocratesGalenus, and Enselhans theories, and the modern Experts; Heymans and Ewald. 2) Theories of traits approach, such as the theories of Klages, Allport, Rogers, Freud, Jung, Murphy, etc.7 For more than a century, psychologists have attempted to identify and understand systematic, observable differences between individuals that seem stable over time. Among these individual differences, personality has received widespread attention. On this discussion, the writer only concentrates on temperament theory of typological approach as the main terms that are used concerning on Immanuel Kant ideas of personality which grouped into big four temperament-namely sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic.8 7 Drs. Sumadi Suryabrata, B.A., M.A., Ed.S, Ph.D, Psikologi Kepribadian (Jakarta: PT. Raja Grafindo Persada, 2007), p. 3-4. 8 Thomas Chamorro-Premuzic and Adrian Furnham, Personality and Intelectual Competence, (New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Inc., Publisher, 2005), p. 4.
10
The big four personality study was firstly begun by Hippocrates (460-377 BC)9, which then be developed by Galenus. The four personalities are used to define theories from recent psychologists.
3. The Sanguine Personality The cheerful sanguine is temperament which a warm, vibrant, lively and "fun". He can receive all the circumstances, and the impressions that seen can be easily affected his heart that quickly responded. His decisions are more determined by feeling than thinking. The Sanguine type requires a great deal of personal space and cannot tolerate restrictions of personal freedom. While usually not bossy, they cannot tolerate being bossed and always want to work on their own terms. They like the outdoors and physical activity. They often act before they think, not naturally thinkers. They are acquisitive, territorial, and action oriented. The sanguine is the creative, fun-loving, high-spirited sanguine’s natural tendency to look on the bright side, to enjoy people, and to seek out adventure sometimes results in a label of superficiality and frivolity, more joyful place because of the inspiration, enthusiasm, and fellowship he provides.10 The sanguine person is carefree and full of hope; attribute great importance to what ever he may be dealing with at the moment, but may have forgotten all about it the next. He means to keep his promises but fails to do so because he never considered deeply enough beforehand whether he would be able to keep them. He is good-natured enough to helps others but is a bad debtor and constantly asks for time to pay. He is very sociable, given to pranks, contented, does not take anything very seriously, and has many, many friends. He is not vicious but difficult to convert from his sins; he may repent but this contrition (which never becomes a felling of guilt) is soon forgotten. He is easily

fatigued and bored by work but is constantly engaged in mere games – these carry with them constant change, and persistence is not his forte.11 The following are several descriptions of strength and weakness of the sanguine personality: a. The Strength of the Sanguine Students The points below are from the book of ‘Personality Plus’ authored by Florence Littaure, they are traits which appear in variety of quantity. A trait is the representative of personality structure,12 as Springer defined. All the structures construct a personality. The traits may not find totally once in a while.

• Wide-eyed and innocent • Lives in the present • Changeable disposition • Sincere at heart • Always being a child The Sanguine As A Parent • Makes Home Fun • Is liked by children's friends • Turns disaster into humor • Is the circus master
• Loves People • Thrives on compliments • Seems exciting • Envied by others • Doesn't hold grudges • Apologizes quickly • Prevents dull moments • Likes spontaneous activities
The strength of the sanguine is his ability to “live in the present moment”; he has a very optimistic, joyful attitude toward life. The sanguine is often adventuresome, enterprising, and creative - and is a source of inspiration to others.14 A person with a sanguine temperament is affectionate, loving, cheerful, optimistic, hopeful, and confident. The Sanguine has more natural inner-beauty qualities than the other temperaments. They can work on calmness and on controlling their tongue. They are emotional and demonstrative by nature. At work they provide a positive atmosphere and often volunteer to help out. Their creative and enthusiastic energy can inspire others. The sanguine child learns quickly, although he might have difficulty memorizing. Continually discovering some new interest, sanguine can find it difficult to attain great depth in one area of study. It is not that they do not have the intellectual capacity, but rather that their attention is so easily captured by something new. b. The Weakness of the Sanguine Students Traits below are the negative of the sanguine in some ways of the student type when he interacts in school environment. Florence Littaure mentioned the traits as follow:

Sanguine are frequently not disciplined, and this is, of course, very difficult for the third personality type called melancholy to understand. Sanguine wear their "heart on their sleeve", but they very easily “forgive and forget”.17 They are emotional and demonstrative by nature, but can tend towards arrogance and self-indulgence. At work they can be day dreamers and battle to complete work, juggling many tasks at once. They tend to lose focus on the task when the novelty wears off. From all description about the sanguine personality, we can look at the examples of the famous sanguine actors such as Tukul Arwana, Indra Bekti, Paris Hilton, etc. By knowing these famous people, it makes our understanding easier to draw and remind the personality of the sanguine in our mind. 4. The Phlegmatic Personality The Phlegmatic is the peaceful person who wants to stay out of trouble, keep life on an even plane and get along with everybody. Phlegmatic like to rest and show steadiness. Phlegmatic also a very calm and relaxed so that he never seemed bothered, how ever the circumstance of his surroundings. He's hard to angry and rarely to vent his temper. The phlegmatic is Peaceful Person, Born-follower, Likes harmony and rest, Loves to relax, Wants to calm people down, Gets along with everyone, Needs peace and sense of worth, Has little self-motivation, Gets depressed over conflict, Controls by procrastination.18 Phlegmatic are reserved, prudent, sensible, reflective, respectful, and dependable. They are not easily insulted or provoked to anger, nor are they given to exuberance or exaggeration in speech. They are loyal and committed, tolerant and supportive. They possess a hidden will of iron that is often overlooked, because they are such agreeable people. They have a knack for diffusing tense situations. Phlegmatic make superb 17 Dr. Faith C Abraham, Personality Identifier: the four temperaments, Retrieved at http://www.faithabraham.com/Personality%20Identifier.pdf on May 10, 2012, p. 5. 18 Florence Littauere, Marriage (after every wedding comes a marriage), Retrieved at http://www.wedplan.com/Worksheets/marriage_personality.pdf on May 18, 2012, p. 2.

diplomats and military strategists. They also make excellent firefighters, police officers, and military officers; they excel in professions where being calm under pressure is key.19 The following are the explanation to the fundamental phlegmatic traits that should be considered in understanding the phlegmatic personality. a. The Strength of the Phlegmatic Students Adaptable Peaceful Submissive Controlled Reserved Satisfied Patient Shy Obliging Friendly

The 20 traits above are still based on Florence Littauer. Through points, the phlegmatic personality can be observed simply. The following are some strengths of phlegmatic personality: Strengths of a Phlegmatic The Introvert | The Watcher | The Pessimist The Phlegmatic's Emotions • Low-key personality • Easygoing and relaxed • Calm, cool and collected • Patient well balanced • Consistent life • Quiet but witty • Sympathetic and kind • Keeps emotions hidden • Happily reconciled to life • All-purpose person

Everyone loves the low-key nature of the inoffensive phlegmatic, and though they are not loud like the Sanguine, they do have a witty sense of humor. They often lean while standing and sit in comfortable recliner chairs if at all possible.21 Conrad Hock said in his book called ‘The Four Temperament’ that there are many bright sides of the phlegmatic temperaments, those are:22 1. The phlegmatic works slowly, but perseveringly, if his work does not require much thinking. 2. He is not easily exasperated either by offenses, or by failures or sufferings. He remains composed, thoughtful, deliberate, and has a cold, sober, and practical judgment. 3. He has no intense passions and does not demand much of life. b. The Weakness of the Phlegmatic Students Numerous traits below are the simple descriptions to know about the weaknesses of the phlegmatic personality. Florence Littaure mentioned that traits are: 21 22

The phlegmatic is a super introvert. It is difficult to rouse them to action. At times they can be selfish and stubborn. On the job, they do not seek out the power or the limelight,25 because of their reserved natures, phlegmatic are sometimes accused of being unassertive, or of lacking enthusiasm and spontaneity. The phlegmatic is known for avoiding things: conflict among people. The phlegmatic might defer to peer pressure in order to keep the peace or to avoid conflict.26 B. Speaking 1. The Understanding of Speaking Speaking is significant to an individual’s living processes and experiences as are the ability of seeing and walking. Speaking is also the most natural way to communicate. Without speaking, people must remain in almost total isolation from any kind of society. For most people, the ability to speak a language is the same with knowing a language since the speech is the most basic means of human communication. Actually, what is the meaning of speaking? In the process of writing this paper, the writer has tried to find out the meaning of speaking as one of skills in English language. He has finally found several resources that explain speaking as follows. According to Noah Webster, speaking has a variety of meanings: a) To tell, to say, to make known or as by speaking, to declare; to announce b) To proclaim; to celebrate c) To use or be able to use (a given language) in speaking d) To address27

In addition, Oxford Dictionary states that "speaking is to make use of language in an ordinary, not singing, to state view, wishes etc or an act of spokesman”.28 Meanwhile, Henry G. Tarigan defines that, “…speaking is a skill of conveying words or sounds of articulation to express or to deliver ideas, opinions, or feelings”.29 Don Bryne states that, “oral communication (or speaking) is a two way process between speaker and listener and involves the productive skill of speaking and the receptive skill of understanding”.30 Based on the previous four definitions, it can be synthesized that speaking is the process of sharing with another person, or with other persons, one’s knowledge, interests, attitudes, opinions or ideas. Delivery of ideas, opinions, or feelings is some important aspects of the process of speaking which a speaker’s idea become real to him and his listeners. 2. The Functions of Speaking Several language experts have attempted to categorize the functions of speaking in human interaction. According to Brown and Yule, as quoted by Jack C. Richards, “The functions of speaking are classified into three; they are talk as interaction, talk as transaction and talk as performance. Each of these speech activities is quite distinct in term of form and function and requires different teaching approaches”.31 Below are the explanations of the functions of speaking:

a. Talk as Interaction Being able to interact in a language is essential. In fact, much of our daily communication remains interactional. This refers to what we normally mean by “conversation”. The primary intention in talk as interaction is to maintain social relationship. Meanwhile, talk as interaction has several main features as follows:
Has a primarily social function Reflects role relationships Reflects speaker’s identity May be formal or casual Uses conversational conventions Reflects degrees of politeness Employs many generic words Uses conversational register Some of the skills (involved in using talk as interaction) are:
Opening and closing conversation Choosing topics Making small-talk Recounting personal incidents and experiences Turn-taking Using adjacency pairs Interrupting Reacting to others32 Mastering the art of talk as interaction is difficult and may not be a
priority for all learners. In talk as interaction, the ability to speak in natural way is required in order to create a good communication. For reason, some students sometimes avoid this kind of situation because they often lose for words and find difficulty in presenting a good image of themselves. This can be a disadvantage for some learners where the ability to use talk as interaction can be important.
32
Ibid., p.2-3.
21
b. Talk as Performance This refers to public talk or public speaking, that is, talk which transmits information before an audience such as morning talks, public announcements, and speeches. Talk as performance tends to be in the form of monolog rather than dialog. Often follows a recognizable format and is closer to written language than conversational language. Similarly it is often evaluated according to its effectiveness or impact on the listener, something which is unlikely to happen with talk as interaction or transaction. Examples of talk as performance are giving a class report about a school trip, conducting a class debate, making a sales presentation, and giving a lecture. The main features of talk as performance are:
There is a focus on both message and audience It reflects organization and sequencing Form and accuracy is important Language is more like written language It is often monologic Some of the skills involved in using talk as performance are:
Using an appropriate format Presenting information in an appropriate sequence Maintaining audience engagement Using correct pronunciation and grammar Creating an effect on the audience Using appropriate vocabulary Using appropriate opening and closing33 It is clearly seen from the features and skill involved in using talk
as performance that initially talk as performance needs to be prepared in much the same way as written text. Therefore, this kind of talk requires a different teaching strategy. This involves providing examples or models of speeches or oral presentation. Therefore, question such as the following are needed in order to guide this process:

What is the speaker purpose? Who is the audience? What kind of information does the audience expect Is any special language used?
3. Types of Speaking Skill to Promote Skill People course in the way of mastering English speaking skill worthily need to promote their acquaintance of several affective ways. To help students develop communicative efficiency in speaking, there are some activities are used in the classroom to promote the development of speaking skills in our learners. The discussions below centers on the major types of speaking activities that can be implemented as follows: a. Discussion Discussion is probably the most commonly used in the speaking skills classroom activity.34 It is a common fact that discussion really useful activity for the teacher in order to activate and involve student in classroom teaching. Typically, student are introduced to a topic via reading, listening passage, or a video tape and are then asked to get into pairs or groups discuss a related topic in order to come up with a solution, a response, or the like. Normally, people need time to assemble their thought before any discussion and that is something needs to consider. So, Teacher must take care in planning and setting up a discussion activity. According to Marianne Celce-Murcia, there are several steps that should be done by the teacher before starting the discussion activity: first, planned (versus random) grouping or pairing of students may be necessary to ensure a successful discussion outcome. Second, students need to be reminded that each person should have a specific responsibility in the discussion, whether it is kept on time, take note or report results. And finally, students need to be clear
34

23
about what they are to discuss, why they are discussing it, and what outcome is expected.35 When a material focuses on producing and recognizing signals for turn-taking in a group discussion, the teacher needs assessment to his students’ progress. The assessment tool might be a checklist to be a complete by the teacher or students in the course of the students’ participation in the discussion.36 Finally, criteria should be clearly defined and understandable to both the teacher and the learners. In order to manage a good discussion activity, the writer concludes that the steps above are really important to do because most teachers hope that they will be able to organize discussion session in their classroom, particularly if the exchanges of opinions provoke spontaneous fluent language use. b. Information Gap/Problem Solving One type of speaking activity involves the so-called “information gap” where two speakers have different parts of information making up a whole. Because they have different information, there is a “gap” between them.37 In this activity, students are supposed to be working in pairs. One student will have the information that other partner does not have and the partners will share their information. Information gap activities serve many purposes such as solving a problem or collecting information. Also, each partner plays an important role because the task cannot be completed if the partners do not provide the information the others need. An example of an information gap principle is using the ‘jigsaw’ material. Jo McDonough and Christopher Shaw said that: In a jigsaw activity, each partner has one or a few pieces of the "puzzle" and the partners must cooperate to fit all the pieces into a whole picture. The puzzle piece may take one of several forms. It may be one panel from a comic strip or one photo from a set that 35

24
tells a story. It may be one sentence from a written narrative. It may be a tape recording of a conversation, in which case no two partners hear exactly the same conversation.38 From the statement above, the writer can say that information gap and jigsaw activity are effective because everybody has the opportunity to talk extensively in the target language and they can exchange information each others because of the gap between them. c. Speech Another common activity in the oral skills class is the prepared speech. Topics for speeches will vary depending on the level of the students and the focus of the class, but in any case, students should be given some leeway in determining the content of their talks.39 In order words, the teacher can provide the structure for the speech-its theoretical genre and its time restrictions. For example asking students to “tell us about an unforgettable experience you had”. Allow them to talk about something that is personally meaningful while at the same time encourages narration and description. Speeches can be frightening for the speaker and after while boring for the listeners, so it is a good idea to assign the listeners some responsibilities during the speeches. It is an excellent time to require peer evaluation of classmate’s speech. Steve Allen has a suggestion to the sequence of speech as follow. When choosing the content, people should organize the remark to these sequence; the opening, the middle, and the third part (the closing), after that they need to compose the speech by generating ideas, researching a topic, writing the speech, editing the speech, and finally typing the speech.40

d. Drama and Role Play Drama is an excellent way to get the students using the language. It essentially involves using the imagination to make oneself into another character or the classroom into a different place. According to Scrivener, drama can be an activity for beginner for exciting listening and speaking work and it can also be utilized as a tool to provide practice in grammatical, lexical, functional, or phonological areas.41 The next way of getting students to speak in different social contexts and to assume varied social role is role-play activities in the classroom. Materials are generally aimed at the more proficient EFL learner, although this is not always the case, as they can be set up in a highly structured way with a lot of teacher control. At the other end of the spectrum, however, a considerable amount of choice may be exercised by allowing the students more freedom in what they will say. e. Conversation One of the recent trends in oral skills pedagogy is the emphasis on having students analyze and evaluate the language that they or others produce. In other word, it is not adequate to have students produce lots of language; they must become more aware of many features of language in order to become competent speakers and interlocutors in English. One speaking activity which is particularly suited to this kind of analysis is conversation, the most fundamental form of oral communication. One way to approach this activity is to assign students to find a native speaker (or near-native speaker) they know and arrange to taperecord a 20-30 minutes interaction with this person. Of course, not all of the discourse that results from this encounter will be truly “natural conversation-the native may fall into the role of “interviewer and ask all questions while the non-native merely responds; therefore the instructor 41
Jim Scrivener, Learning Teaching: A Guidebook for English language Teachers. The Teacher Development Series, (Oxford, Heinemann ELT, 1994), p. 69.
26
may want to encourage the learner beforehand to come up with a few questions to ask native speaker. In any case, the resulting interaction will provide a spontaneous sample from (and for) the learner to analyze. In a variation of the conversation, learners are required to tape-record an interview with native speaker on a topic of their choices and then repot the result to the class. 4. The Assessment Grading Scale of Speaking As most people say that testing speaking is the most complex to assess with precision. Many of teachers often feel uncomfortable when handling speaking test since it is often difficult to be objective and consistent when testing a large number of students. But it doesn’t mean that speaking test can’t be measured in correct way. The writer has found several resources that explain about the way to assess speaking test and its technique. Hughes, as quoted by Endang Fauziati, listed three general formats for testing speaking ability that are interview, interaction with peers and responses to tape recording.42 Interaction with peers is the technique that will be used by writer to assess speaking ability. In the interaction with peers, two or more students may be asked to discuss a topic. The problem with this format is that the performance of one student may be affected by that of others. One student might dominate the conversation. Therefore, Heaton said that it is important to make pair students with similar level of language proficiency. Meanwhile, determining the rating scale used is the next step to do in assessing speaking skill. The writer found various books that presented the sample of an oral English rating scale. J.B. Heaton in his book, Writing English Language Test, examined rating scale of six-point range. In addition, Ingram and Elaine Wylie, in their article “Assessing Speaking Proficiency in the International English Language Testing System examined rating 42

27
scale of nine-point range. Besides, Harris in his book Testing English as a Second Language examined rating scales of five-point range. In this paper, the writer quoted the one used by Harris as it is the most applicable to our speaking class rating system, since we would have 1-10 or 10-100 range of point as stated in the guidelines of scoring speaking skill in 2004 curriculum. According to Harris, speaking is a complex skill requiring the simultaneous use of different ability which often develops at different rates. Five components are generally recognized in analyses of speech process that are pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency (the ease and speed of the flow of the speech) and comprehension (an understanding of what both the tester and the testee are talking about or the ability to respond to speech as well as to initiate it).43 Harris presented the sample of an oral English rating scale that used 1-5 points. Below is the frame of Harris’s oral English rating scale: No

The oral ability test divided into five elements; pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Each element’s characteristics are then defined into five short behavioral statements as stated in the frames above. This helps to make the test reliable, since it avoids subjectivity because it provides clear, precise and mutually exclusive behavioral statements for each point of the scale. The writer will objectively see the characteristics of each student’s speaking ability whether they achieve 1,2,3,4 or 5 score. Then, it can easily calculate the score. The amount of maximum scores gained is 25. It is gained from the five elements of speaking as stated above. This amount of score can be described as follows: Pronunciation
:5
Grammar
:5
Vocabulary
:5
Fluency
:5
Comprehension
:5 25
Since our speaking class rating system is used the range of point 110 or 1-100, then, to make it easier to calculate, the score is converted into 100 point scale by multiplying it with 4. The rating system used here is based on the rounding off system. It is also in line with the statement from Hazell. Hazell, as cited in Endang Fauziati article, stated that teachers could modify the range point scale based on their need. So, it is clearly seen that the writer modify the range score because the need of the scoring system as stated in the previous page. According to the rounding off system, writer concludes that 100 point is the highest score gained by a student and 20 point is the lowest score gained by a student.

C. Relevant study There were researchers had been done by researchers about speaking. Firstly, Nurmilah by the title “The effectiveness of using information gap in developing students’ speaking skill”. She used the experimental research. The writer did the research one class. Before did the activity, she gave pre-test to find out the students’ basic competence. Then, she taught speaking by using information gap technique. Finally, she gave post-test to know whether there was significant influence of implementation of information gap technique in teaching speaking achievement through the growth of the students’ pre-test score. Based on the data analysis above, the result showed that the coefficient is 11.82. It meant that there was a significance increase in teaching speaking through information gap. From the result of calculation, it was obtained the value of the t-observation (t0) is 11.82. The writer used the degree of significance of 5% the value of degree of significance is 2.04. If the to compared with each value of the degrees of significance, the result is 2.04 < 11.82. The writer summarized that improving the students’ speaking by using information gap technique had positive influence for the second grade of SMP Negeri 153 Jakarta. Second, Nana Nurjanah by the title “The Relationship between Students’ Interest in Speaking and their Speaking Score” the method used is correlational study, she takes only one class as the subject. She gave each of the students a questionnaire related to the students’ interest in speaking to be collaborating with their speaking score. The result of the analysis in the research showed that there is positive correlation between students’ interest in speaking and their speaking score. Interest gives positive influence in teachinglearning speaking skill. Students who have higher interest in speaking get a better score than the lower one. Third, Nina Zuhairiah in her research "Developing Students’ English Speaking Ability by Using Contextual Teaching Learning" the research used Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the method of research. The CAR was
31
done based on Kurt Lewins’ design. The writer did two cycles inevery which each cycle consists of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting and each cycle there are two meeting. The data were gathered through qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were gained by analyzing the interview an observation result. Then, quantitative data were obtained from students’ speaking score of pretest and post test. The result of this research shows that using contextual teaching learning in teaching speaking at VIII grade of MTs. Al-Ikhwaniyah can motivate the students to speak English and improve their speaking ability. The students’ responses showed that they were interested to learn English speaking because they thought that the activities were interesting. Moreover, the mean score pretest was 60.94. Then, the mean score of posttest cycle 1 was 71.50 and the mean score of posttest cycle 2 was 72.25. In addition, there were 3 students (8.3 %) who passed KKM in the pretest. Meanwhile, in the cycle 1, there were 16 students (44.4%) who passed KKM and it gained which was in the posttest cycle 2 there were 27 students (75%) who passed KKM, so the criteria of success was achieved. Related to the result of observation and interview, the researcher concluded that teaching speaking by using contextual teaching learning at VIII grade of MTs Al-Ikhwaniyah can develope students’ speaking ability and the students were motivated in the teaching-learning process. D. Research Hypothesis A research hypothesis is the result of literature review or rational process of research that has had a theoretical truth.44 The Hypothesis is that the sanguine students get better English speaking score than the phlegmatic students in speaking English activity.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter of research methodology consists of the location and time of the research, the method of the research, the population and sample, the technique of collecting data, the technique of the data analysis, and the hypotheses of the research. A. The Location and Time of the Research Location of the research was in SMP Wijayakusuma of which building is located on Penjaringan. This was the school where the researcher did his friends school. The research was done successfully starts on 23th of May 2013 until 28th of May 2013. B. The Method of the Research The approach of the research is a quantitative research which implements the testing of theory, quantitative research generates statistics through the use of large-scale survey research, using instruments such as questionnaires and structured interviews.

The technique of analyzing data is the use of comparative analysis. The research may be about two similar things that have crucial differences.1 The things may not correlate each other. Comparative analysis ideals for someone who needs to hold a research in getting the problem belonged to two or more independent variables. Husein Umar stated the research to the group of empirical studies where the researcher cannot control the independent variable because the problem happened, or characteristics cannot be manipulated.2 Comparative analysis technique is one of quantitative analysis technique or one of statistical technique that can be used to test hypothesis concerns about whether or not there is a difference between or among variable tested. If the difference is found, researcher will need to ensure whether it is significant or only by chance.3 It makes the data and the result could be more objective. According to limitation of the study in the previous chapters, firstly, the writer compares the sanguine students and the phlegmatic students to their way of learning speaking. The comparison describes the similarities and the differences of both students’ personalities. The next is the comparative analysis to the speaking score of the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. This analysis is to answer the research question. C. The Population and Sample The writer chooses the population of all students from the second graders of SMP Wijayakusuma. The writer applies 100% students to be tested because all the students actually can be the participant without any more selection, neither choosing through gender nor percentage of the sum total population. 1

To get accurate data about the students' responsiveness to this research, the writer noted the total students of the VIII classes are 70 students. The students are divided into two classes, with the detail description of a number of students as follow: VIII A
: 36 students.
VIII B
: 34 students.
D. The Technique of Collecting data The technique of collecting data is the use of personality test which identifies students’ personality through examining personality based on list of traits. It is suitable to classify personalities for the reason that the test is taken from standardized assessment written by Florence Littauer. The test is arranged based on the 40 question numbers from all four personalities; sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. They can be observed apparently on the table below.

The questionnaire has 40 question numbers. Every number of items consists of traits from the four personalities. The word definition of the test can be seen in appendix 3. To do the test the writer asked the students to put a check list (√) to the best choice from the four trait options on entirely item numbers. The answer represents their trait that fit to them best. Then the check list test

papers that have been done by the students are matched to the indicators table above. For examples: Number 1 (C) Adventurous. (P) Adaptable. (S) Animated. (M) Analytical Number 2 (M) Persistent. (S) Playful. (C) Persuasive. (P) Peaceful. Each symbol means C S M P
: is for Choleric : is for Sanguine : is for Melancholic : is for Phlegmatic By seeing the check list, the student answers "animated" for item
number 1. It means the item number 1 will be counted as sanguine. For the item number 2 the student answer is "peaceful". It must be counted as phlegmatic. The same way is applied to the next numbers until the last one. After matching all the item numbers of the test, we can see the portion of each personality. The four personalities have portions in different quantity of check lists such as shown in the following: No

The way of personality judgment is by seeing the highest result that appears on the total questions. On the table above student 1 has 17 and student 2 has 17 at the sanguine column and student 3 has 16 and student 4 has 20 at the phlegmatic column. They can be said as the dominants which mean student 1 and student 2 are the sanguine students. Student 3 and student 4 are the phlegmatic students. Those are the students’ personality. There for, the students have their own personality, the researcher then separated the students who belong to the sanguine and phlegmatic personality, and then the students of the two personalities were calculated with a certain statistical method. E. The Technique of the Data Analysis The students of VIII classes were given the personality test. After doing the scoring of the questionnaire, and the judgment for the students' personality, the researcher only takes the students from the sanguine and the phlegmatic personality. For the speaking activity that the students performed, they will scored by their own English teacher. Soon after all the scoring steps finished, the writer started using statistic calculation. The two groups; the sanguine and the phlegmatic students and each score of English speaking clearly distributed as the single data distribution into two tables. After this step the data came to the calculation pattern called Standard Deviation (SD) and degree of freedom, to seek more stable format of data, after that T-test finding to answer the t table
and t observation as the steps described below:

F. The Hypotheses of the Research Below is the hypothesis of the research that must describe how the study should be answered. There is about the sanguine and the phlegmatic students to their English speaking skill. Ho = There is no difference in English speaking ability between the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. Ha = There is difference in English speaking ability between the sanguine and the phlegmatic students.

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS This research finding chapter consists of the data description, the data analysis, the data interpretation. A. The Data Description The following two tables are the students who have been categorized to the sanguine and the phlegmatic personality. They are the students who become the research object and the following are their English speaking scores (see Appendix 6) which was obtained from their performance.

The 24 students are the sanguine students and the phlegmatic students. From the total number of students at second grade, the researcher has tested 70 students from the second grade population (see appendix 5). The other 46 students belong to the other personalities and their combination. They are neither the sanguine students nor the phlegmatic students. The way to find the average of the sanguine and phlegmatic students’ score is by the following calculation. The average in statistics is known by mean (M). The pattern of Mean is
Mx1
fX N
Description: fX
: the total of students’ score
N
: a number of students
This pattern is to find Mean from single data which the scores are more than one frequency; whether they are for some data or whole of them. The following is the calculation for x1 or the sanguine students.
Mx1
fX
N 823 Mx1 12 Mx1 68.58

The writer has got the first Mean, and then he stepped forward to the second Mean. It is for the phlegmatic students. The calculation is as follows:
Mx 2
fX
N 780 Mx 2 12 Mx 2 65.00 The writer has already got both Mean for the two groups of students. The average shows that the sanguine students’ average is higher than the phlegmatic students’. The next calculation will describe the significance difference of the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. Suharsimi in her book writes the classification of scores as follow1: Table 4.3 The Classification of Scores by S. Arikunto Score

B. The Data Analysis To begin the data analysis steps, the writer uses the frequency distribution to describe how the frequency from the two variables; the sanguine and the phlegmatic group is divided into frequency which is spread systematically, and then the frequency is added to be the total of frequency.

After the writer distributed the data through the tables above, henceforth he started the calculation of Standard Deviation finding (SD) which is combined to the degree of freedom finding (df). The following calculation is the pattern combination.
2 2 x 2 x1 x 2 x2 2 n 1 n1 2 S2 n1 n2 2
The statistic pattern starts explaining about S2 which means this calculation is for Standard Deviation calculation or SD for short. It combines the two sides of the sanguine group and the phlegmatic group. In the first parentheses can be called by the first Standard Deviation, the SD goes to the sanguine group and then the second parentheses with plus order belongs to the second Standard Deviation of the phlegmatic group. The Standard Deviation (SD) is to standardize the mean which is weak at first, then after using the Standard Deviation it has more stable for its value of belief or reliability.1 For the below pattern of the complete pattern above is the degree of freedom, which mixed into one. Simply you can see this pattern,
df = (n1+n2) - 2 It is from the original pattern df = n1 - 1 and df = n2 - 1

For now the writer would use the first complete pattern that is mentioned above, he begins calculating the data of table 4.6 by the use of that pattern in order to get the established final result. 2 2 x 2 x1 x 2 x2 2 1 n1 n2 2 S n1 n2 2

S2
(145,809 56,444.08) (188,600 50,700) 22 S2 = 10330.22
The result of S2 is successfully done to assist the next calculation in filling in the main calculation in T-test formulation. Right after this is called by the separated variants pattern which is chosen because of two considerations. They are: 1.
The two means referred to two samples which have the same quantity.
2.
The variants of the data are not homogeny.2 The two points of considerations bring the writer to choose the next
calculation. The pattern is named the separated variants. The modified pattern is continued to the calculation of the separated variants, the separated variant pattern is

The first T-test formulation has perfectly finished by calculating of the right side of the pattern. The result is the answer for S x1 x2 Next is the way to calculate the upper pattern from separated variants as the lower pattern has already been got. It becomes the furnishing of the next step to complete the separated variants pattern.

A. The Data Interpretation To interpret the data, the writer may have a look to the analysis of data spreading at the previous pages. The interpretation is divided into three parts: 1.
The Frequency of the Sanguine and the Phlegmatic Students Based on the table 4.6, the sanguine and the phlegmatic students are only in small enough quantity. It was 17.14% for each the sanguine personality and the phlegmatic personality of the students or 34.29% in average for the two personalities in one level of study.
51
If we want to observe in other schools or other classes, the same case will not be far different from other grades in another school. It is because we can rarely find this type of students who are more active and have leadership ability with the skill of speaking. We will find the phlegmatic students about the same quantity in classes as the sanguine students’ quantity. In fact, the phlegmatic is likely the characteristic of the students who has not really active in speaking activity. 2.
The Better Ability in English Speaking Skill The sanguine students are assumed to have a good ability and better ability in speaking. In this research, their score of speaking is 68.58 in average. The phlegmatic student is well-known as the stolid person; he is estimated to be a person who has less ability in speaking than the sanguine. However, the average of the phlegmatic students is 65.00. The data tells that the score of the sanguine students in English speaking activity is higher than the phlegmatic students. The sanguine students in the second grade of SMP Wijayakusuma proved that the presumption on the theory is true even though they sometimes could be untrue along with the theory ever once in a while.
3.
The Hypotheses Interpretation The hypotheses of the research is Ho = There is no difference in English speaking ability between the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. Ha = There is difference in English speaking ability between the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. 2.82 >
0.086 < 2.07
52
That means, The Null Hypotheses (Ho) is accepted The Alternative Hypotheses (Ha) is rejected The hypotheses tested by T-test of comparative analysis from independent sample express that there is no difference in English speaking ability between the sanguine and the phlegmatic students. From that statement we can say
In high score, the sanguine students get 8.33% and the phlegmatic students get 0%
In middle score, the sanguine students get 91.66% and the phlegmatic students get 100%
In low score, the sanguine students get 0% and the phlegmatic students get 0%
53
CHAPTER V CONCLUSSION AND SUGGESTION This chapter presents the conclusions and some suggestions based on the previous finding research at SMP Wijayakusuma. A. Conclusion This research seems not completely break the theory on the concept of personality that the sanguine is better than the phlegmatic in speaking. The sanguine tends to speak vocally. He likes to be a good speaker through his talker soul. In contrary the phlegmatic does not really like to speak and he likes to be a good listener. The data interpret that the sanguine students get higher average English speaking score and the phlegmatic students have lower average score. The sanguine students do not always possess higher competency of English speaking skill which is because of his natural willingness to speak than the phlegmatic students. Sometimes the introvert student may overlap the extrovert students. Through sequence of calculation at the previous chapter the hypotheses of the research shows that the Null Hypotheses (Ho) which states “there is no difference in English speaking ability between the sanguine and the phlegmatic
53
54
students” is accepted. It means that the students’ personality has no statically significant difference to the students’ English speaking score. The possibility of error in this research may be highlighted from the decision taking while the students are doing the personality test and there is also the possibility of inappropriateness on giving score which is influenced by the students, they might not show their best ability in English speaking performance at that time. B. Suggestion Students are the people who need guidance in learning. They must be maintained by smart teacher who understand them intellectually and psychologically. In order to give some opinions to this study based on the finding, it can be recommended that: 1. When the sanguine students learn English speaking skill, they need to learn seriously from grammar because the sanguine students sometimes do not pay attention to the language pattern. Never let them underestimate the importance of learning grammar because, on the other hand, it will sharpen their accuracy in speaking. 2. The sanguine students have so much confidence in saying something in English. They need to maintain it well but with no over confidence and arrogance. It is occasionally make them fail. 3. The phlegmatic students will study pattern more than the sanguine, they like to study concept of the subject. They could perform better structure. 4. The phlegmatic students must have better confidence in improving their English speaking skill. Confidence is the subject matter of the phlegmatic students who tend the improving in teaching learning process.
55
For teachers, what they need are: 1. Guide the Sanguine students to consider about patterns when they are speaking. A good speaking is also seen from the structure of the language. 2. To advise the students not to be over confidence in facing English speaking activity. They need to be calm down and to be low profile when they set in the good performance. 3. Giving more spirit to the phlegmatic to be consistent in doing study of patterns of English before they learn to speak, but without take much time. 4. To support the students to explore their ability in speaking. They have more ability but they still need practice to be confident. Teacher may create situation in order not to be too serious and stressful.
