Abstract

ABSTRACT Several aspects must be considered when speaking English to make communication more understandable, including grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and pronunciation. Pronunciation in English speaking is important because it helps listeners understand the message you want to convey. Communication will not run as it should if there are errors in pronunciation, such as causing differences in meaning and purpose. One of the students' biggest difficulties in speaking English is pronouncing a word or sentence. This problem was also found in students at SMPN 11 Kotabumi North Lampung. They often experience difficulty pronouncing words and sentences during speaking learning sessions because they were not used to using English in the school environment, and they only learn English when they enter the first semester of seventh grade. In this research, the researcher used quasi experimental design. The researcher used instruments in the form of research with pretest and posttest to collect data. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely 32 students for the experimental class and 33 students for the control class. Treatment is given within 2 x 45 minutes per treatment. The population of this study was class IX. After carrying out the pretest and posttest, the researcher used SPSS to calculate and determine whether the data was normal and homogeneous. From the research results, it was concluded that the data was not normally distributed because of Sig. Experimental class test results <0.05, but Sig. from the control class > 0.05. Furthermore, the data is homogeneous, as seen from the Sig. (based on mean) 0.117 > 0.05. This research has data results that are not normal but homogeneous, so the hypothesis test uses a non-parametric test, namely the Mann-Whitney U test. Based on the analysis of data calculations in hypothesis testing, a significant effect can be seen in the Mann-Whitney U table where the Sig. (2tailed) the same variant, namely 0.000<0.05, means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that the ELSA application can positively and better influence students‘ speaking abilities. Key words: ELSA application, experimental design, Speaking ability.
