Abstract

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan teknik tongue twister pada kelas sepuluh SMKN 1 Koto Besar. Ada beberapa masalah dalam penelitian ini. Pertama, mereka memiliki kemampuan berbicara yang masih rendah, dan mereka membutuhkan teknik untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa. Kedua, mereka telah kehilangan kepercayaan diri dalam berlatih berbicara, seperti akurasi pengucapan siswa. Ketiga, mereka menganggap bahasa Inggris sebagai subjek yang sulit. Terakhir, kebanyakan dari mereka kesulitan belajar mengucapkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektivitas penggunaan teknik tongue twister. Populasi penelitian ini adalah 23 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan probability sampling. Sampel penelitian ini X AKP 1 terdiri dari 23 siswa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan pre-experimental design, one group pretest-posttest. Hasil setelah perlakuan, pengucapan mereka diperoleh siswa melalui pre-test adalah 37,0 dan post-test adalah 55,8, dengan nilai t-test lebih tinggi dari nilai t-tabel (8,397 > 593). Ini berarti bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara sebelum dan sesudah diberikan perlakuan. Ini menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis alternatif (Ha) diterima dan nol (Ho) ditolak. Disimpulkan bahwa pengajaran Teknik Twister dalam kegiatan bahasa Inggris dapat meningkatkan pengucapan siswa.
