INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Nowadays, many English courses places are available anywhere in regions. The ones who want to enhance their English speaking ability are provided by so many facilities in which they can learn from. The big number of members in the public courses is one the proof that teenagers or even children are having a big desire to be able to speak English. However, though so many English courses are provided it doesn’t means that people will directly have any confidentiality to join and speak.
You can see also that actually English materials in classrooms do not meet their needs in learning English since students still seek for other places to learn English more. Most of students learning English in the classroom are always passively involved in its learning process. They mostly give their silence in the class like never asking the teacher though they do not understand. Worse than that, many teachers also do not care toward their students’ improvement in speaking English. What they need is just coming to the class, giving the lesson, discussing it (no matter if the students got that or not), and sometimes giving them homework; THAT’S ALL. The researcher finally finds a community where the students are forced to speak English more.
Why do adults have difficulty in learning English? Because from the children ages, interest and motivation of speaking English were never be cultivated on them. Another reason is that the lack of English educational materials taught to them. The phenomenon of hundred thousand students who fail the final examination because of their “English subject” proves the English inadequacy of students’ proficiency. Due to those conditions, the researcher believes that methods and techniques employed in the classrooms to teach English have big impact toward students’ English comprehension.
English Club, one of the extracurricular in a public vocational high school, has a big concern toward students’ English ability. As so many students enroll to become English Club members, almost all of them have “be able to speak English” as their goal in English Club. Actually, they just do not have a place to express their willing to speak English. Confidentiality is the main obstacle for them to speak. English club provide strategies that stimulate its members to actively involved in the exercises and attain their confidentiality to speak English more.
