3. Theoretical review : Gives theories or information about
language teaching, speaking skill development, intergration of speaking and

Research methodology : The method used in this research is
qualitative method. Location of research is Tourism department . The
researchers collect data based on the natural observation of situation. The
research instruments are the researchers as the planners, executors, data
collectors,data analysis and interpreters and become the discussers and the
reporters of the research result. The researchers use some techniques of
collecting data : Observation, interview, documentation). Data analysis
techniques: data reduction,data presentation, and conclution.
The stages of
research :
1. Pretest (speech, interview and
storytelling) is conducted for the whole class
2. The class is divided into two
smaller groups : one experimental group and one control group
3. Treatment is done for both groups
using different methods. Impromptu speaking method is used for the experimental
group and full text memorization method is used by the control group.
4. Post test is done using the same
test for both groups.
5. Analysis is done to compare the data
of the two groups.
6. Finally the conclusion is drawn from
the various data obtained.
7. Research results are reported.
5. Discussion and results
In this section,
researcers give the result of research . The object of this research was
semester VB considering that the students have learnt English for 4 semesters
which means that they have got enough background to participate in impromptu
speaking. With this practice, it is expected that the students are able to
speak English Fluently and naturally when they do their job training at hotels
in North Sulawesi or in other cities or in foreign countries. All the students
were included in the pre – test and then the class was randomly divided into
two consisting of 10 students in each smaller group. The first group was the
experimental group applying impromptu speaking method and the other group was
the control group using full text memorization. The following are the names of
students who were the members of experimental group and control group. The
kinds of speaking material taught to both groups were speech, interview and
storytelling. The difference lies on method in preparing them. The experimental
group did the preparation with very little preparation. They practiced speech,
interview and storytelling with only points or keywords, while the control
group practiced using full text. The students in the experimental group with
only important points, developed the speech, interview and storytelling
creatively using their own sentences. The students in control group prepared
their speaking by memorizing the text. After 5 weeks of practice, the post
tests for the two groups were conducted with the following results.
he students who
practiced using impromptu speaking method (experimental group) were more
successful than those who practiced with conventional method (control group) as
can be seen from the experimental class mean score which was 96 points while
that of the control group was only 71.7 points. There was a difference of 24.3
points. From the data in table 3 above, we can calculate the correlation
between the correct and natural speaking ability and the impromptu speaking
method in English teaching. The score of correlation obtained is 0.80 which
shows that the relation between speaking ability and impromptu speaking method
is very strong and significant.

Conclusion
The first group of
students who applied impromptu speaking method was better in speaking more
fluently and naturally because they have learnt to use their own sentences and
their creativity to develop their speaking.
The second group of students who applied full text memorization mostly
failed because of feeling nervous when they forget one sentence or even one
word that made them forget the whole text.
7. Suggestion
It is suggested
that impromptu speaking method be applied in developing the students’ speaking
ability, because by using this method the students are taught to use their
creativity in developing the ideas and arranging sentences based on main points
or keywords. Impromptu speaking
motivates the students to expand their vocabulary, improves their pronunciation
and develop their ideas that is closely related to speaking skills.

In Introduction
Researchers think that learning English
is inseparable from 4 skills, namely, listening, reading, writing, and
speaking. All of these skills are related to each other. When learning
speaking, listening skills are involved, in order to understand the conversation
of others, it requires listening skills. But not all skills can be taught
efficiently considering the lack of time allocation when studying. There are so
many ways to teach speaking. But the author raises impromptu as one way to
improve speaking skill because with this method, the speaker can improvise and
speak naturally because impromptu skills occur spontaneously and without
preparation and only rely on existing knowledge.
