The reason is speaking as one tool of communication. By speaking, people can express their thoughts and felling to others. Speaking is also the process of revealing something fundamental about the mind and how it deals with perception, felling and intention. That is why students must be fluent in speaking. Because the main purpose of learning speaking is to lead students to be able to speak English well.the English teachers must allow the students to speak up in the classroom in order to explore their ideas by using English. Hopefully, this way can increase the students speaking ability. Based on the syllabus of KTSP or educational unit grade curriculum of Senior High School, speaking is an important lesson that must be applied in every school. The students should be able to speak English in the classroom and their daily activity. They are not demanded to explore what they think and feel into their own sentence by speaking English, but also they are able to communicate with others in English. However, based on writer s experience when held teaching practice at SMA Negeri 1 LembahGumanti most of the students was still shy if the teacher ask them to practice their English. The students were not brave to deliver their opinion in the class. The students were very difficult to speak 1

3 with others. Moreover, the students were afraid to be laughed by their friends, afraid to make a mistake and difficult to delivering their ideas. Then, students got difficulties in delivering ideas because they did not know what they were going to deliver. And the last students have limited time to speak. It is because the amount of students in the class. Then, the problem comes from the teacher in teaching process. The teacher uses a strategy or method that not appropriate in speaking skill. The teacher divides the student in to some groups or doing some exercise. Meanwhile only a few students in a group have serious attention in doing activities. On the other hand, the students did not want to practice because in their mind their friend s English more fluent. Speaking Speaking is very important in our life, if people want to express their meaning or ideas, they could speak directly. It means that learners can communicate with them to get information that they want to know. The learners could use our body movement to extend our feeling. There are various definitions of speaking which some experts propose. According to Chaney (1998) speaking is the process of building and sharing meaning through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbol in a variety of context. In order words, speaking are not only verbal utterances but also how the learners use gesture from our body to make someone understand with they are saying. Speaking occurs when someone want to interact or to tell something for other people. Teaching Speaking In teaching speaking, a teacher should ask his students to do practice more and communicate with another person. The teacher should use English language and Indonesian language in teaching process. According to Brown (2004) in teaching speaking, the students must practice in target language. For students, to make them speak and communicate fluently, they must do practice every day. In addition, the teachers have responsibility in teaching English to motivate students to use English in their daily life communication. Teaching speaking is an activity where the students do practice and communication in a simple conversation with another people. In teaching speaking, teacher should give facilitates to the students to express their ideas or opinions and they have concentrate freely of situation or class atmosphere. Then, the teacher should make the students to be active, and the teacher must be creative to make the students enjoy in learning speaking. In addition, the teacher should use English language in interaction and communication with students. Analytical Exposition Analytical exposition is a text which is not accompanied by suggestion, According to Robertson and Nunan (2006:297) analytical exposition means the text has the function of persuading, the readers that the thesis is well formulated. Analytical exposition texts consist of three elements. Firstly, thesis is announcements of issue of concern. Secondly, Argument is explaining the other arguments to support the writer s position. Finally, Reiteration is restating the writer s position. Numbered Heads Together ( NHT) Numbered Head Together is kind of cooperative in which the member of group are going to help each other to solve a problem or helping each other for discuss ideas. In here the students in group and exchange an information each other. According to Luzet (2013:64) states that numbered heads together is a collaborative learning technique which holds each student accountable for the outcome a task. It can be understood that number head together is kind of collaborative or group but in applying each students have to overcome a task. Procedure Numbered Heads Together According to Kagan in Betty J, Alford (2011:15), there are four steps in number head together. First, each student in a small group receives a number: 1, 2, 3, 4. Second, the teacher poses an academic question or situation for discussion. Third, the students puts their head together and are given time to discuss the answer and come up with the respond. Last, one number is called randomly and that students is responsible for sharing the group response. Advantages of Numbered Heads Together Strategy According to, Hassard (2011:23) explains that there is an advantage of Numbered Heads Together in teaching speaking. It can be a powerful way to encourage students inquiry and problem solving. It means that Numbered Heads Together can be applied by the teacher in teaching speaking because this strategy can develop students inquiry and also to develop students to overcome the problem toward material. Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD). According to Slavin (2004:71), STAD is one of the simplest of all cooperative learning methods, and it is good model for teacher who begin new 2

4 cooperative. It can be understood that STAD is good to be applied by the teacher who still begin in applying cooperative. As we know, cooperative is an approach in which students are divided into some groups and in the group the students will exchange information each other, so the member of group gets eaasy in understanding the material. Procedure of STAD According towatson and skinner (2004:73) states that procedure of STAD strategy: 1. Teacher provides the students with an issue, they have a tutor each other until all members understand how to analyze the issue and share their opinion. 2. The students get the test individually, and they do not allow to help each other during to test. 3. The members of group have contribution to the group score based on how well they did on the test compared to their own average score on past test. Advantages of STAD According Watson and skinner (2004:75) advantages of STAD strategy is to motivate students to encourage and help other master skill presented by the teachers. It means, every students know the material and the students have spirit to learnt because the students can share their ideas each other and the strategy can help student to make good connection and help each other to master the material that presented by the teacher. The strategy is very useful for students, especially for he or she who has low ability level because; the group in STAD consist of different level of student ability. So, they must help each other and it can make them more enthusiastic in learning process. Combining Numbered Heads Together (NHT) and Students Team Achievement Division (STAD) strategy. The combining Numbered Heads Together (NHT) and Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) strategy require students to think as they speak with the components they have and build understand. The procedure can be used as the following procedure: 1.
