In Indonesia, the government realizes that English competency has an impact on global development not only for education purpose but also for carrier purpose. That is why English course is presented since early ages. The primary goal of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) in Indonesia is the mastery of English in addition to the national language. The success of English learning is usually seen from learners’ ability to communicate with the native speaker of English or people who speak English in daily life.
There are four main skills that must be mastered to be able to communicate well in English. Those are listening, speaking, reading and writing. Among those four skills that must be mastered by the students, speaking skill may be the most important skill for success in learning a language. However, mastering this skill is not an easy matter to do. It can be seen from the reality that there are many English learners who are still incapable to speak English in Indonesia despite they have learnt the language for many years. These may be caused by the lack of vocabulary, limitation to speaking practice, or psychological factor which influences the use of English to communicate with each others. Speaking in a foreign language is a complex process because of two reasons (Brown, 1994 in Celce-Murcia, 2001:103).
The first, fluent speech contains reduced forms, such as contractions, vowel reduction; so that learners who are not exposed to or who do not get sufficient practice with reduce speech will retain their rather formal sounding full forms. The second, spoken English is almost accomplished via interaction with at least one other speaker. It means that a lot of exposures and practice are needed in improving speaking achievement.
