The Effectiveness of Community Circle Strategy on Students English Speaking Skill of The Tenth Grade at MA Al Balagh Bulutigo

Abstract

This research was supposed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Community Circle Strategy in enhancing students' English-speaking skills at MA Al Balagh. This research consists of 8 stages, including observation, pre-test examination at the second meeting, implementation of strategies, and post-test examination at the final meeting. The study was conducted on 24 students of class X at MA Al Balagh. The method employed was quantitative with a pre-experimental approach. Data from pre-tests and post-tests were examined for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, indicating that the data were normally distributed. Further analysis utilized the T-test to determine significance (Sig.). The results of the T-test indicated that the significance value (p = 0.000) < ? (0.05), suggesting insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis (H0), thus accepting the alternative hypothesis (Ha). This indicated a significant improvement in students' vocabulary mastery following the treatment. These findings affirm that employing the Community Circle Strategy was effective in enhancing students' speaking skills.
