SKRIPSI IMPROVING STUDENTS' SPEAKING SKILL IN ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION TEXT THROUGH PEER TEACHING STRATEGY FOR XI GRADE STUDENTS
Speaking skill plays an important role in English language learning. However, many senior high school students still experience difficulties in speaking English due to low confidence and limited classroom participation. This condition was found among eleventh-grade students of SMA N 2 Magelang, where students tended to remain passive during speaking activities and showed low speaking performance. Therefore, this research aimed to improve students’ speaking skill and activeness in learning Analytical Exposition Text through the implementation of Peer Teaching Strategy. This research was conducted at SMA N 2 Magelang in the 2025/2026 academic year, involving students from class XI F1.1. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the model proposed by Kemmis and McTaggart, and was conducted in two cycles. Both test and non-test instruments were used to collect the data. Speaking tests were administered to measure students’ speaking skill, while observation sheets, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation were utilized to obtain supporting data. The results showed an improvement in students’ speaking skill and activeness. The average speaking score increased from 50.33% in the Pre-Cycle to 76.56% in Cycle I and 84.67% in Cycle II. In addition, the students’ activeness improved from 59% in the Pre-Cycle to 73% in Cycle I and further increased to 79% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the implementation of Peer Teaching Strategy actively improved students’ speaking skill and activeness in learning Analytical Exposition Text.
