CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES

2.1 Previous Study

3

The first study was a research report by Muttaqin

(2008) in thesis entitled Teaching Conversation Gambits to

Enhance Students’ Communicative Competence in English Debate (An Action

Research with Walisongo English Club of IAIN Walisongo Semarang Year

2008/2009.

This previous study has research object that

Walisongo English Club can improve English Department

Students’ skill. This research found that students of WEC

got a good level to the five components of students’

communicative competence in English Debate such as the

ability in using gambits, vocabularies, grammatical

structure, fluency and speech contest. In the last

result, students got average score 8.0 that mean the

students have a good level in English debate after being

taught the gambits.

The second study was a research report by Hasanah

(2012) in thesis entitled The Implementation of Debate Technique

to Improve Students’ Speaking Skill (Classroom Action Research of The Second

Year of MTs MA Miftahul Huda Pabelan Semarang Regency 2011/2012).

This previous study has research object. Debate

technique can improve students’ speaking skill. Through

this technique, students can apply it in their studies.

Either English Language Teaching Department’s student or

not. Debate technique in speaking class is aimed to

improve students’ critical thinking and students’

communication skill. By performing debate technique,

students have a lot of opportunities in practicing

speaking. This research was done in MTs MA Miftahul Huda.

4

In the last result, the students look so enthusiasm with

the lesson about implementation of Debate Technique. The

calculation of test in the last cycle is 8.79 score by

the level of significance of 5%. So there is improvement

of speaking competence in pronunciation vocabulary and

confidence.

From these previous studies, there are similarities

with my research. Those are the implementation of

Walisongo English Club in English Language Teaching

student in speaking class as a communicative competence

skill. Beside it, there is also the difference with my

research. The researcher focuses on the relationship

between Walisongo English Club and English Language

Teaching Department student in improving four English

skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing).

2.2 Literature Review

2.2.1Concept of English Skill

2.2.1.1 Definition of English Skill

English skill is the skill which is in

English language used as parameters in learning

English language. The students have to pass

those four skills to improve their English

skill, because those are the basic parts of

English.

According to Eli Hinkel in Integrating the Four

Skills, the contemporary world of second and

foreign language teaching, most professionals

largely take it for granted that language

5

instruction is naturally divided into discrete

skill sets. Based on workshop about four skills

of language, in traditional teaching the

emphasis tends to be on the students doing

reading and writing, probably because it seems

to keep them quiet and it is easier to

organize. Similarly most teachers probably do

most of the talking. While the students do most

of the listening, with a questionable amount of

understanding.

In real life, it is not so easy to

separate these four skills, as most language

skills are preceded or followed by a different

skill. This integration is constant and

confusing for language learners to understand

and practice themselves.

2.2.1.2 The Components of English Skill

According to “seminar on English”, the four

skills of language are Listening, Speaking,

Reading and Writing. According to harmer (2009)

productive skills (writing- speaking) and

receptive skills (reading-listening) are two

sides of a coin that cannot be split

because one skill can reinforce another in a

number of ways. Each of English skills

influences each other. So, it cannot be divided

or separated. In ELT Department students’

6

learning, it must be aware that the English

learning must include the four English skills

to balance among the skills.

As well as, harmer (2009) says on Seminar

English 2010 that students can learn to speak

and write by what they hear and see.  It means

that when students are exposed to the language

they have the needs to apply most of the skills

at the same time. Students must be able to

apply the English skill at the same time. They

also must be able to compare among the skills.

It becomes parameter in learning English.

Students can speak and write; those two skills

are productive skills, so they have to enter

the materials that they want to speak and

write. They must know about the material which

they want to produce in their speaking and

writing. So, in this case, students use the two

others skill. Those are reading and listening;

which are the receptive skills. After they read

and listen, they can get the materials. Then

they can show it in speaking and writing.

Each skill is sub-divided into several sub-

skill activity, listening, speaking, reading or

writing is emphasized.

a. Listening Skill

7

This skill encourages the students to

be able to listen and understand well what

the native speaker said. The students also

can response to the questions or statement

from native speaker. There are many sub-

skills in this skill which become the

learning method. It includes, discriminating

similar sounds -to practice accurate listening and

understanding-, dictation -to encourage detailed

listening, understanding and interpretation to the written

word-, listening to the main idea (s) -to

encourage listening to important ideas, whilst ignoring

unimportant details-, task listening (listen then

do something) -to teach learners to listen for specific

information and apply it immediately-, listening for

detail -teaching learners to listen carefully for specific

points only-.

b. Speaking Skill

Speaking is one of language skill which

is very important to be mastered by students

in order to be a good communicator. Speaking

is the verbal use of language to communicate

with others (Glenn Fulcher, 2003:23). Speech

8

is about making choices. Students must choose

how to interact in expressing themselves and

forming social relationship through speech.

In short, speaking can be as the way to

carry out feeling through words, even

conversation with other. It means that human

uses words and phrases in interactive process

of constructing meaning of speaking. Jeremy

Harmer (2003:269) states that the ability to

speak English. presupposes the elements

necessary for spoken production as follows:

Language features; The elements necessary for

spoken production, are the following:

1) Connected speech: in connected speech sounds

are modified (assimilation), omitted

(elision), added (linking r), or weakened

(through contractions and stress

patterning). It is for this reason that we

should involve students in activities

designed specifically to improve their

connected speech

2) Expressive devices: native speakers of

English change the pitch and stress of

particular parts of utterances, vary volume

and speed, and show by other physical and

non-verbal (paralinguistic) means how they

are feeling (especially in face to face

interaction). The use of these devices

9

contributes to the ability to convey

meanings.

3) Lexis and grammar: teachers should therefore

supply a variety of phrases for different

functions such as agreeing or disagreeing,

expressing surprise, shock, or approval.

4) Negotiation language: effective speaking

benefits from the negotiators language we

use to seek clarification and show the

structure of what we are saying. We often

need to ask for clarification when we are

listening to someone else talks and it is

very crucial for students.

There are many sub-skills in speaking skill,

those are: Responding to visual clues (pictures

and words) -to make students aware of connections between

visual and oral representations of language-, roleplay -to

encourage students to use language they know-,

conversation -to practice conversation skills and

techniques-, word-games -to encourage students to use the

language they know spontaneously in new situations -,

story building -to practice using sequencing words e.g.

the, next, afterwards….-, problem solving -to practice

language of dis/agreement (i don’t agree /disagree with you

because……-, asking for and giving information -to

give students practice in giving requested information.

10

c. Reading Skill

Reading skill is a receptive skill because

it is included input process. The things

which are can be read such as article, book,

newspaper, journal, etc. There are many sub

skills that can be used in reading. Those are

predicting -Encouraging students to predict or guess the

content of the text from its title or its illustrations or to

anticipate the end of a sentence, or story, using language

they already know-, skimming -going through the text

very quickly, to get the general idea-, scanning -trying to

locate specific information- questioning -to test

children’s comprehension of text-, modelling -an attempt

to get at the understanding of a text by re-structuring and re-

presenting it- blank filling -to train the students to

construct missing words by teaching them to read around

(before and after) the gap-, sequencing -this activity

involves words sentences, paragraph or a story being cut into

sections and scrambled-, reading aloud -to practice

good pronunciation (of single words and group of words) and

intonation the way the voice moves up and down (for

understanding and expression)-, sensitizing -to train

students to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words or term-,

matching -to help students understand main information

of text through identification of the corresponding pictures, or

words-, summarizing -to train children to sum up, as

11

short as possible, a text with all the important information

and / or ideas-, dictionary skills -to encourage

students to make good use of dictionary and to be less

dependent on the teacher for explanations-, silent

reading -to give students the chance to read at their own

speed-.

d. Writing Skill

Writing skill is a productive skill

because it is included the activity to

produce the words or sentence or even

paragraph in and information, to recall

experiences, to entertain, and to explore

feelings. While, the things which are can be

written such as essays, reports, notes,

poems, letters (business & personal),

diaries, instructions, etc. there are many

sub skills in writing skill, those are:

copying - to give student model examples to promote

success rather than failure-, filling in the blanks -

to encourage limited creativity on a correct base-,

describing a picture or series of pictures -to

further encourage creative/guided writing, but with a given

situation/stories line to keep words flowing-,

sentence/paragraph completion - giving guided

practice in writing from given clues-, reacting to a

situation - to encourage written responses to everyday

situations. 12

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHOD

3.1 Research Design

The design of research which is used by the

researcher in this study is Qualitative research.

Qualitative research is research using methods such as

participant observation or case studies which result in

a narrative, descriptive account of a setting practice.

Sociologists using these methods typically reject

positivism and adopt a form of interpretive sociology

(Parkinson & Drislane, 2011). In other definition,

Qualitative research is a situated activity that

locates the observer in the world. It consists of a set

of interpretive, material practices that makes the29

world visible. These practices transform the world.

They turn the world into a series of representations

including the field notes, interviews, conversations,

photographs, recordings, and memos to the self. At this

level, Qualitative research involves an interpretative,

naturalistic approach to the world. This means that

Qualitative researchers study things in their natural

settings, attempting to make sense of, or to interpret,

phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to them

(Denzin & Lincoln, 2005, p. 3).

From the definition above, the researcher conclude

that the involvement of ELT Department students in an

English language organization in their subject has many

relationships. It relates from their major and also

their English skill development through the four

English skills.

3.2 Research Setting and Time

The researcher conducted the observation in

Walisongo English Club of Walisongo State Islamic

University. It is located at Street Prof. Dr. Hamka

is done in 24th of October 2014 at 9.06 p.m. at Ma’had

al-Jami’ah Walisongo with one of ELT Department student

English Club. In this research, the respondents

involving Walisongo English Club.

3.6.2 Documentation

surrounding curriculum or other educational

concern can illuminate rationale and purpose in

interesting ways. The researcher completes the

research by using the documents which explain

about Walisongo English Club and the data and the

website of it. This technique is used to know the

condition of the officers, the members, and the

activities of Walisongo English Club.

3.7 Data Analysis Technique

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS

33

4.1 The Implementation of Interviewing

The interviewing is one of data techniques which are

used by the researcher to collect the data. The activities

of interviewing were preparing the list of questions, the

list of the respondents’ name, and recording tools. The

researcher interviewed some respondents, especially the

ELT Departmet students in different semester/ grade in

Education and Teaching Training Faculty. The interviewing

was conducted from 24th of October 2014 to 6th of November

2014. The interviewing was conducted well and the

researcher asked to them some questions related to

Walisongo English Club.

The researcher asked some questions about their

opinions about the definition of Walisongo English Club,

the purposes of it, the importance of it, the members of

it, the advantages of joining it, and the relationships

between Walisongo English Club and ELT Department in

English four skills.

4.1.1 The Definition, The Purpose, and The Importance of

Walisongo English Club

According to Saiful Mujab, the writer of

Walisongo English Club’s history, wrote in WEC

Bulletin 1st edition in 2104 that Walisongo English

Club or commonly called WEC is an intra organization

34

in Walisongo State Islamic University and it is

located in 2nd floor of Student Centre in 3rd campus of

Walisongo State Islamic University. He added that

Walisongo English Club is a community to develop

English skill. This development consists of two sides.

Those are English active skill and English passive

skill. The active skill includes Speaking skill which

is the productive skill. It means that the students

produce the language by speaking. Because the basic

purpose of a language is communication. Ruswan, the

first leader of Walisongo English Club in 1984, said

that speaking is the most important skill than the

other skills. So he noticed to press more in speaking

without being grammar-minded. He also noticed that

Walisongo English Club not only gives the brain

nutrition (English knowledge) but also gives the

training how to live in an organization. By joining

Walisongo English Club, we can learn Englih skill,

develop the English, and even develop the soft skill

in organization management also the way to respect

with others. While, the passive skill includes

Reading, Writing, and Listening skill.

4.1.2 The Members of Walisongo English Club

There are two classifications of student

organization is Walisongo State Islamic University

before becoming University. Those are the institute

35

student organization and faculty student organization.

The institute student organization has members from

all of the faculties. Its members are from Education

and Teacher Training Faculty, Ushuluddin Faculty,

Syari’ah and Law Faculty, Dakwah and Communication

Faculty, and Economy and Islamic Business Faculty. The

faculty student organization has members only from its

faculty because each of faculties has their own

student organization. So we can compare between two of

the student organization classifications that the

institute student organization is bigger than the

faculty student organization seen from the amount of

members, the economic side, the links, and etcetera.

Walisongo English Club is a unit student

organization in institute level, so all of the

students in different faculty can be member in

Walisongo English Club. According to interview with

Hanik Nurul Faizah, the student of ELT Department

student of Walisongo State Islamic University in 5th

semester and one of the officer of Walisongo English

Club in Teaching and Curriculum Department, the

members of Walisongo are from all of the faculties

with different majors which has focus on the new

students (1st semester), but she added that Walisongo

English Club also open the recruitment for the 3rd

semester and maximum 5th semester students who want to

learn English language.

36

There are differences between the numbers of

member from each faculty. Based on the member data

from Walisongo English Club that the researcher got,

the dominant members are from Education and Teaching

Training Faculty, especially from ELT Department. It

will be explain in the next part of this research.

4.1.3 The Advantages of Walisongo English Club

Walisongo English Club has focus on English

language only. As we know before that English is one

of the international language and about 53 countries

use English in daily meeting business. While in

academic level such in Walisongo State Islamic

University, commonly English is learned to master

TOEFL (The Test of English as A Foreign Language) and

IELTS (International English Language Testing System)

which are the requirements to continue the study in

overseas. Almost the students of Walisongo State

Islamic University have eagerness –although not all-

to continue their studies in overseas. As a rule,

TOEFL becomes one of requirement of graduation which

must be required by all of the students. It is decided

by The Centre for Language Development of Walisongo

State Islamic University. The minimum score of TOEFL

is 400 for non-ELT Department and 450 for ELT

Department. At least, this requirement pushes them to

learn English for TOEFL although they do not want to

continue their studies in overseas.

37

In TOEFL and IELTS context, Walisongo English

Club has important roles as the place for them to

learn English. From the weekly schedules, Walisongo

English Club gives the TOEFL training to the members

by conduciving the professional tutors. According to

interview activity with Fitri Meiyenny, the student of

ELT Department of Walisongo State Islamic University

in 5th semester and one of the officers Walisongo

English Club in Cadres Department, the obligatory

requirement that must be required is TOEFL test.

Automatically, Walisongo English Club provides the

TOEFL training and it helps the students to learn

TOEFL easily.

4.1.4 The Relationships between Walisongo English Club and

ELT Department Students in English Four Skills

As in the previous part, it explained that the

dominant members who join in Walisongo English Club

are from ELT Department students. Walisongo English

Club has many relationships to ELT Department

students. According to Ilma Amalina, the student of

ELT Department of Walisongo State Islamic University

in 1st semester and one of the new members of Walisongo

English Club, Walisongo English Club is very

important, because she thought that the ELT students

only get 30% from their lecturers who deliver the

materials. While 70%, the students get from out of

38

class such as study group and even Walisongo English

Club. She added that the reason why she joined

Walisongo English Club because she wants to improve

the English skill, especially grammar skill and

writing skill. Because according to her, grammar and

writing are more difficult than the other skills. But

she also wants to improve the other skills such as

reading, listening, and speaking skill by joining

Walisongo English Club. In addition, she joined

Walisongo English Club because she wants to improve

the soft skill and organization management. From this

interview activity, Walisongo English Club has

important role in improving ELT Department students’

skill, especially four English skills. In fact,

although they can get the English materials from their

lecturers every day, it cannot be avoided that they

only get the small portion of it because they only get

the theory not the practice. While the biggest portion

they get from out of class that the practice always in

it.

According to interview activity with Fitry

Meiyenny, ELT Department has Speaking subject that

pushes the students to speak. In Walisongo English

Club also has the speaking training for the members.

Here, Walisongo English Club has a role to train the

ELT Department students in speaking skill such as

through debate training and discussion in some

weeklies which discusses the update event. In

39

addition, Walisongo English Club also builds the

students’ confidence and makes the students to be

brave to speak. This is one of reasons why the ELT

Department students are dominant in Walisongo English

Club than the other major.

The subjects of ELT Department must be mastered

by all of the students. So in mastering the subjects,

the students try to find the ways to add their

understanding. The subjects include Reading

Comprehension, Writing Comprehension, English Grammar,

Listening Comprehension, English Speaking, and

Linguistic (Phonology, Morphology, & Syntax). In fact,

Walisongo English Club becomes one of the places for

their learning. By joining this student organization,

hopefully they can improve their English four skills.

4.2 The Implementation of Documentation

Documentation is one of data techniques which are

used by the researcher to collect the data. By using this

technique, the researcher tries to look for any data

(documentation) that has related to the observation. The

activities of documentation were preparing the Notebook/

Laptop/ PC, internet connection, and website of Walisongo

English Club. The researcher tries to look for the data

including the list of Walisongo English Club’s officers

in 2014, the list of members in 2014, the history and the

definition of Walisongo English Club, and the activities

of Walisongo English Club. The documentation was

40

conducted from 12th of December 2014 to 27th of December

2014.

In 12th of December 2014 at 8.50, the researcher

downloaded some information related to Walisongo English

Club. It included the history and the definition of it

and the activities of it, as the researcher has included

in Chapter II-Review of Related Literatures.

CHAPTER V

English. The four skills include Speaking, Listening,

Reading, and Writing.

5.1.2 Walisongo English Club has important roles in

improving ELT Department students’ skill. As we know

70%, most of it, they get from out of class. Hereby,

they try to look for some ways to add their knowledge

and add their understanding about English language

related to their subjects.

5.1.3 In helping ELT Department students, Walisongo

English Club provides some training related to their

subjects from its weekly activities. Such as TOEFL

and IELTS training (Listening, Structure/ Grammar,

(Speaking skill).

Walisongo English Club to always improve their ability

they become the mediator in delivering the English

materials.

Department students in Walisongo English Club has many

relationships in their subjects and it helps them to
