INTERVIEW TECHNIQUE

Summary :

The purpose of this research is to improve students’ speaking skills by using interview technique. This research used a classroom action research as form of research. The subject of this research is class VIII A at SMP Negeri 19 Pontianak in academic year 2014/2015 which consists of 40 students. The techniques of collecting data in this research are observation and measurement and the tools of collecting data are observation checklist, field notes and test of speaking.
interview can often be an effective technique of obtaining information. According to Dandoli and Haning (2001:23), interview is a teaching technique that encourages the students to express their ideas, emotions or feeling, and problem. I thinks after I read all the content of this jurnal, I can make a conclusion that the interview is the best way in improving students’ speaking skill, because when the teacher use this method, exactly the student must prepare themselves in speaking, such as vocabulary, grammatical structure and also strong in mentality.  
Some of the problems student can not speak by using English are low in mentality and shame in practicing. This problem can solve by using this method, because in interview must prepare both. It can be challenge for student who want increase in speaking ability.  

The interview provides the students with the opportunity to demonstrate that they can communicate freely in English exactly like native speaker, it is expected that their proficiency level of spoken English will not hinder undergraduated student’s comprehension of any given subject.  It is done to create real communication experiences. Interview encourage the students speak English more than their teacher. The teacher is only guide to make conversation run smoothly.
