ENHANCING ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS' SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH ROLEPLAY IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract
This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 2 Tangerang Regency to investigate the impact of roleplay on enhancing the speaking skills of 11th-grade students. The study encompassed a population of 72 students from classes 11 MIPA 1 and 11 MIPA 2. Employing a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental method, data was collected through classroom observations and assessments. The results of this study were analysed using SPSS 22, employing the Wilcoxon model. The analysis demonstrated that the two-tailed Wilcoxon test produced a statistically significant result, with the "assym.sig" value exceeding the Wilcoxon test criteria. As a result, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. This indicates that the implementation of roleplay as a teaching method had a significant positive influence on students' communication and speaking skills. This research contributes valuable insights into the effectiveness of roleplay in enhancing speaking skills, offering practical implications for educators seeking to improve language proficiency among 11th-grade students.
