1.Role Play
One of technique suggested for developing skill is role play. According to Brown (2004:174), “role play is a popular pedagogical activity in communicative language-teaching classes”. It makes the students free to be someone based on their creativity linguistic input. In line with Brown, Nunan (2003:57) also states that role play activities are important in the teaching of speaking because they give the students an opportunity to practice communicating in the different social contexts and target language.
According to Barrows and Zorn elaborating a method of role playing which gives a way to involve the whole class, encourages the students to speak up without worrying about set patterns, gets them to use their imaginations, and creates an amusing atmosphere that would make them forget that they are in the classroom the method also encourages the students to apply spontaneously the grammar they have already learned. To strengthen the arguments, Thornbury (2005:96) states, “That speaking activities involving role play activities, in which learners take an imaginative leap out of the confines of the classroom, provide a useful springboard for real life language use”.
2.Discussion
Biehlier and Snowman (1993)16 stated that group discussion is a collaborative learning that the teaching technique is where the teacher will let the students push themselves or to encourage between the students in practice their English conversation in class. We apply it to chance conversations, where the theme is subsidiary to the desire to get acquainted, where the talk passes from on topic to another and only by chance lingers long enough anywhere for the through consideration of a subject. Group discussion may be composed of three to five students. If such group work is used regularly and introduced with a careful explanation of its purpose, the class will soon accept it as naturally activity (Fauziati, 2008). Discussion should have the following characteristics:
1) General participation. Discussion aims to make it possible for each individual to speak as well as to listen. Intelligent listening followed by informed action is participation.
2) Informality. Discussion aims at an organized informality.
3) Purpose. Discussion is talk with a purpose. The member of the group has come together because they have information or ideas to exchange about some specific problem, or because they want to hear what their fellows have to say about it.
4) Planning, except for the occasional spontaneous discussion that happen when and interested minds meet, discussion requires a leader and a plain. The leader should direct the progress but not the outcome of the discussion.
3. Game
A game is one of activities which can help to create dynamic, motivating classes. The reason is that real learning takes place when the students, in a relaxed atmosphere, participate in activities that require them to use what they have been drilled on.
Problem Solving
Materials which focus on problem solving offer further opportunities for the students to work in pairs or small groups, to share information and opinions on topics, which are meaningful to them.
