Randublatung State Senior High School. A final project. English Department,
Faculty of Languages and Arts, Semarang State University. First advisor: Dr. Dwi

Keywords: Speaking, Team Teaching, Senior High School.
In Indonesia, English is taught as a foreign language not as second language. This
situation influences the students? behavior in classroom. Indonesian students tend to be
passive in English classes, especially in Speaking class, since the input they get is limited.
As a result, the students may eencounter some difficulties to mantain communication and
interaction in English. Team teaching is introduced to overcome that problem. It allows
for more interaction between teachers and students, so it can improve the students?
participation during the class. With more than one teacher in a class, students have more
chances to get more attention and more practices.
The objectives of this study were: (1) to find the kind of team teaching model
applied in teaching speaking to the tenth graders of Randublatung State Senior High
School, (2) to describe the application of team teaching in teaching speaking to the tenth
graders of Randublatung State Senior High School, and (3) to describe the advantages and
challenges of team teaching in teaching speaking to the tenth graders of Randublatung
State Senior High School.
Observation and interview were done to achieve the objective. The observation
was done for a month in XE class. A checklist was used as a guideline in conducting the
observation. The interview was done to get the teachers? and students? perception toward
team teaching.
The checklist and interview results were interpreted to get the description of using
team teaching in teaching speaking to the tenth graders.
The results showed that the kind of team teaching model applied in teaching
speaking to the tenth graders of Randublatung State Senior High School was Traditional
Team Teaching. The application of team teaching itself consist of three steps, there were:
planning, applying, and evaluating. In the first step, the teachers that would teach using
team teaching in certain classes discussed how they will run a team teaching in classes
and developed the Lesson Plan together. In applying team teaching to teach speaking, the
two teachers did some activities with the students, there were: role-play, group discussion
and retelling story. In the last step, the teachers asked the students to perform their ability
in speaking either in pairs or individually. In evaluating the students the teachers had five
criteria, pronunciation, fluency, grammar, content, and accuracy. Based on the interview
result, the teachers? and students? perception toward team teaching is positive. It is
because team teaching gives them some advantages. The only one challenge which was
found by the teachers related to the references. They did not have any references about
team teaching.
