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.
