Abstract :
Speaking is a very important skill, because by mastering that skill people
can carry out conversation with others, give the ideas and exchange the
information with others. But, in Indonesia there is very limited chance for the
students to practice their English speaking skills. Regarding this condition, some
schools, including SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Giri, established a special program as a
medium in which the students are given opportunities to practice their speaking
skills. The program was called Central Language Movement (CLM).
The study is aimed to describe the evaluation of CLM implementation as
intra-curricular program at SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Giri using context, input,
process and product components of the CIPP evaluation model developed by
Stufflebeam (1971).
The subjects of this study were the school principal of SMP
Muhammadiyah 4 Giri, the CLM teacher, and the CLM staff and the grade 7 A
and 7 B. The main instrument to collect data needed in the research was the
researcher, who was supported by some instruments, i.e. field notes, the school
principal and the teachers? interview guides.
The findings of this research were in terms of the context, input, process,
and product dimension of the CLM program.
The conclusions of this research were; First, in the context dimension
concluded that the teaching/learning facilities and resources at the CLM was
limited and needed more improvement. Second, in the input dimension concluded
that the program had sufficient focus on speaking skills. Third, in the process
dimension, both of teaching method and material were poorly developed by the
CLM teachers. Fourth, the product dimensions concluded that the CLM as intracurricular program needed to be revised.
The sugestions of this research were; First, the school has to update the
CLM document because there were several differences with the CLM application
and improve the facility for CLM. Second, the CLM teacher has to maximize the
activities for the students. For the other schools which conduct or plan to conduct
the same program have to provide sufficient documents, facilities and funds to the
program in order to conduct the program successfully.
