ABSTRACT Paryati, Yeny. 2013. Scaffolding Talk in The Great Debaters Movie. Skripsi. Department of English Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Muria Kudus University.Advisors: Drs. Muh. Syafei, M.Pd (i), Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd (ii) Keywords: Scaffolding Talks, Debate, Movie. English has become the language of international communication in theworld since long ago. In its development, especially in the era of globalization, English became the official language used in various areas of life. That is why English education is considered necessary and it also determine the quality of human resources. Scaffolding Talks has then become important case to discuss as it represent one of strategies in introducing and teaching English. Analyzing the use of Scaffolding Talks is looking closely and deeply to the utilization of Types of Scaffolding Talks and their function such as offering explanation, motivating and stimulating students’ interest, making link, providing model, inviting students’ participation, stimulating students’ thinking process, verifying and clarifying the students’ responses. This study is aimed at what and how the Scaffolding Talks are used to train a group of students who join in a debate team by the figure of teacher in The Great Debaters movie. In this case, to make it clearer and inspiring, I employed also the types and the function of scaffolding talks which I found in the script of The Great Debaters movie. This is a qualitative descriptive study. The data were collected by watching and reading the script of The Great Debaters movie directed by Denzel Washington. Then, they were identified, classified and analyzed based on Hughes particularly exemplified. The result of this analysis shows that there are 101 talks that can be called as Scaffolding Talks; 21 with giving instruction type, 11 with sequencing type, 14 with reference type, 21 with asking question type, 7 with supervision type, 4 with metalanguage type, 16 with affective type, and 8 with replying question type. Every talks that can be categorized as scaffolding talk in this study is used by the figure of teacher to provide certain kinds of support which his students receive in their classroom interaction as they move towards new skills, concepts and levels of understanding about a real debating. Due to the fact that debating requires a high proficiency level of English as the debaters must be able to talk or deliver speech fluently and correctly either in its content or its technique and they also have to speed up their critical thinking to solve the motion. Teaching Debate then becomes a challenge for some teachers to make their students able to speak fluently with good speed of course. A good film like this one will inspire a lot of teachers especially teachers and prospective teachers of English. An Innovative teacher should be able to reap its meaning and try to implement in the classroom with full responsibility. viii
ABSTRAKSI Paryati, Yeny. 2013. Scaffolding Talk in The Great Debaters Movie. Skripsi. Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Dosen Pembimbing: (i). Drs. Muh. Syafei, M.Pd. (ii) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M. Pd. Kata kunci: Scaffolding Talk, Tipe, Fungsi, Debat, Film.
Bahasa Inggris telah menjadi bahasa komunikasi internasional di dunia sejak lama. Dalam perkembangannya, khususnya dalam era globalisasi, bahasa Inggris menjadi bahasa resmi yang digunakan dalam berbagai bidang kehidupan. Itulah mengapa pendidikan bahasa Inggris dianggap perlu dan juga menentukan kualitas sumber daya manusia. Scaffolding Talk kemudian menjadi hal penting untuk dibahas karena merupakan salah satu strategi dalam memperkenalkan dan mengajar bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa dan bagaimana Scaffolding Talk digunakan untuk melatih sekelompok mahasiswa yang bergabung dalam tim debat di film The Great Debaters. Dalam hal ini, penulis menganalisa jenis dan fungsi Scaffolding Talk yang ditemukan dalam naskah film The Great Debaters arahan sutradara Denzel Washington. Ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan mengamati dan membaca naskah film The Great Debaters yang disutradarai oleh Denzel Washington. Kemudian, data tersebut diidentifikasi, diklasifikasikan dan dianalisis berdasarkan Klasifikasi yang dikemukakan oleh Hughes (1990). Hasil analisis dalam studi ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 101 pembicaraan yang bisa disebut sebagai Scaffolding Talk, 21 dengan jenis memberikan instruksi, 11 dengan jenis urutan kegiatan, 14 dengan tipe referensi, 21 dengan jenis pertanyaan dan bertanya, 7 dengan tipe supervisi, 4 dengan jenis metabahasa , 16 dengan tipe afektif, dan 8 dengan jenis menjawab pertanyaan. Setiap pembicaraan yang dapat dikategorikan sebagai scaffolding talk dalam penelitian ini digunakan oleh sosok guru untuk memberikan dukungan dalam bentuk tertentu yang diterima muridmuridnya dalam interaksi mereka dikelas ketika mereka bergerak menuju keterampilan baru, konsep dan tingkat pemahaman tentang debat dalam kondisi nyata. Debat memerlukan tingkat kemahiran yang tinggi dalam bahasa Inggris, baik dalam isi atau teknik dan mereka juga harus mempercepat daya pikir kritis mereka untuk memecahkan permasalahan. Sebuah film yang bagus seperti film ini akan menginspirasi banyak guru khususnya guru dan calon guru bahasa Inggris. Seorang guru yang inovatif harus mampu mencoba untuk menerapkannya dikelas dengan penuh rasa tanggung jawab.
