The Use of Photovoice on Young Learners' Speaking Skill
Speaking is an action to give information. Through speaking, students can express
their feeling, ideas and thought using a language. Furthermore, speaking can
influence student’s creativity, opinion and knowledge because speaking will be
balanced with listening. Although speaking is an important skill, most of students’
still have difficulties in speaking English because of several factors. Photovoice
method is one of the alternative ways on teaching speaking. The aim of this research
is to investigate the effect of using Photovoice on young learners' speaking skill.
The population of the research is the fourth-grade students of SD PERTIWI Kota
Bogor. The total number of sample was 32 students of IV B class. The sample was
taken by random sampling technique. In conducting this research, the researcher
applied pre-experimental method and chose one group pre-test post-test design. She
gave pre-test, three-time treatments, and post-test to the students. Taking pictures
and describing the things they have taken through voice note was given to measure
students’ speaking skill. The data were analyzed using t-test formula which showed
that t-test value is 9.73 and t-table value is 2.04 at significant level 0.05 with the
degree of freedom (df) 30. In this case, the t-test value is higher than t-table value
(9.73 > 2.04). It means that alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null
hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. In conclusion, Photovoice can be an effective way to
influence young learners’ speaking skill.
