Abstract:
Speaking is one of the language skills which are important for second language learners to be developed. Capability to speak English is the priority for many second-language or foreign language learners. Therefore, this research was aimed at knowing the speaking ability of the second year students of SMA N 2 Siak Hulu. The students may tell their experience after preparation before performing in front of the class. This is the important part in developing their memory to make a well-arranged story. Their speaking will be analyzed through five components: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. This research needs three raters in order to avoid subjectivity in evaluating the test.
