Abstract

This experimental research was intended to find the effect of Think Pair Share model on the eleventh year students’ speaking achievement at SMAN I Rambipuji. This research design was quasi experimental, that is, posttest-only control group design. The population of this research was the eleventh year students of SMAN I Rambipuji Jember consisting of six classes. The respondents were two of the six classes of the eleventh year students, one was treated as the experimental group and the other one as the control group; the classes were determined by using cluster random sampling by considering the result of the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The result of the analysis of variance showed that the value of f-test (8.63) was higher than that of f-table (2.31). It means that the population of this research was not homogenous. Therefore, the respondents were determined by considering the closest mean difference score, namely; 73.9 (XI IPA 1 as the experimental group) and 73.8 (XI IPA 2 as the control group). In this research, the supporting data were gained through interview and documentation, while the primary data were gained through speaking test. The test was given to both classes namely the experimental group and control group. The test was conducted on May 2 nd 2011 for control group and on May 5 2011 for experimental group. The test for the control group (XI IPA 2) was held on Monday, May 2 nd 2011 at 08.30-10.00, while the test for the experimental group (XI IPA 1) was held on Thursday, May 5 th 2011 at 12.00-13.30. The test was given to both groups after they received two times treatment. The experimental group was given
