Many of students in SMP Trunojoyo were still not confident to speak up in the class. They were always nervous and afraid to speak up.

The English teacher of SMP Trunojoyo said that the students’ speaking achievement was still low. Besides, the students who passed the target score of Minimum Mastery Criterion was still 25%. It means that the students need something new in teaching and learning process.
