The Implementation of English Immersion Technic in Teaching Speaking in Senior High School in Sidoarjo

Abstract

To differentiate the learning processes, this study examines how students' speaking abilities grow utilizing the Immersion Teaching Tehnic (ITT). It seeks to determine whether ITT intervention in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) environment will affect the students' motivation and speech development. It also seeks to determine whether ITT intervention is feasible as a teaching strategy. A Senior high school's tenth-grade class served as the subject of action research implemented. The research findings revealed enhancement of the speaking skills for the students that have at least an initial level of language speaking competence, but no difference was detected for the students of no speaking competence, pointing to the demand for further differentiation. The ITT intervention, however, has been demonstrated to be both extremely effective in boosting student motivation and practicable for application in EFL classrooms. The implications of the current research for the EFL context have demonstrated that the ITT is adaptable enough to meet various educational needs and, when used properly, can enhance meaningful speech output.
