YELI PURNAMASARI: THE INFLUENCE OF USING DRILL TECHNIQUEudIN THE STUDENTS’ SPEAKING COMPTENCE ATudTHE FIRST GRADE STUDENTS OF MA SUBULULudHUDA DARMA – KUNINGAN.udIn learning of speaking English is needed a technique to make the studentsudeasy to master and develop their skill well. In learning of speaking English alsoudalmost the students have difficulties like they do not have a good response of it. Theyudalso have difficulties to make their speaking fluent. in writing this thesis, the writerudfocuses on discussing the weakness of the students’ response and speakingudcompetence.udIn this thesis, the researcher suggested to use drill technique in teaching andudlearning process, espeacially in speaking because drill technique and speaking has audgood relation each other. As the theory of drill according to Robertson and Acklamud(2000: 19) drill is a basic technique whereby the teacher can give students theudopportunity to practice saying in a new word, phrase or structure in a highlyudcontrolled environment. The second one of theory of speaking, speaking is a complexudprocess which involves constructing a message in a form that other people canudunderstand, and delivering the messages using the correct pronunciation, stress andudintonation.udThe method of this research is quantitative research that uses the formula ofudthe statistic, especially the formula of product moment.it means that the data which isudobtained from the field of the research analyzed statistically by using theformula ofudproduct moment correlation, the formula of t, degrre of freedom and determiantonudcoefficient.udIn this research, MA Subulul Huda Darma – Kuningan is the located of theudresearch. MA Subulul Huda Darma – Kuningan founded in November 20, 1990. It isudlocated on Raya Darma Street no.214, Kawah Manuk Village, Darma subdistric,udKuningan Distric 45562. the researcher has got a result of the students response ofudusing drill technique is very good with evidence the result of the average of theudstudents’ response of using drill technique is 82.9, the students’ speaking competenceudis enough with evidence the result of the average of the students’ speaking test isud56.7. Finally the result of correlation of these variables shows 0.77. It means thatud0.77 is strong or high correlation. The result of degrees freedom is 69, from this resultudit is known that the value ot r table in level 5% is 0.244 and in the level 1% is 0.317.udIt is known that rxy is bigger than r table.So Ha is received and Ho is refused. So theudhypothesis of this research is accepted. In other words there is a positive andudsignificant influence of using drill technique on the students’ speaking competence.udFrom the calculation of this research, it is known that there is a positive andudsignificant influence of using drill technique on the students’ speaking competence.udSo if the students’ response of drill technique is good, it can make the students’udspeaking competence good and if the students’ response of using drill technique is notudgood, it can make a problem on the students’ speaking competence.
