Abstract

English has been taught from primary school to higher education in Indonesia, but
it does not provide much contribution to the English speaking skill of Indonesian
students. This condition is caused by several factors; the types of the tasks
provided are one of them. This study aims to analyze the communicativeness of
the tasks and the appropriateness of the scoring criteria in children’s speaking
assessment. The participant of the study was an English teacher in an elementary
school in Bandung. The data were obtained qualitatively by using observations,
document analysis, and interviews. The analysis revealed that the tasks conducted
during the speaking assessment and the speaking scoring criteria constructed by
the teacher were lack of their ability to measure the students’ communicative
speaking skill. It was found that there are limitations occurring in each dimension
included in the tasks, such as the frequency of the target language use, the
appropriateness of the language instruction to the students’ skill being assessed,
the appropriateness of the language materials to the students’ level, the roles of
the teacher and the students, the support of the students’ engagement, and the
categories of the speaking scoring criteria. This study is expected to be one of
references for teachers of young learners in designing the better and more
appropriate speaking tasks.----------Di Indonesia, Bahasa Inggris telah diajarkan sejak sekolah dasar hingga
pendidikan tinggi, namun hal ini tidak memberikan kontribusi yang banyak
terhadap kemampuan berbahasa Inggris siswa Indonesia. Kondisi ini disebabkan
oleh beberapa faktor; salah satu diantaranya yaitu jenis tugas yang diberikan oleh
guru. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kekomunikatifan suatu tugas
dan kesesuaian kriteria penilaian dalam melakukan penilaian kemampuan
berbicara anak. Peserta penelitian adalah seorang guru Bahasa Inggris di sebuah
sekolah dasar di Bandung. Data diperoleh secara kualitatif dengan menggunakan
observasi, analisis dokumen, dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan
bahwa tugas yang dilakukan selama penilaian berbicara dan kriteria penilaian
yang dibuat oleh guru tidak dapat mengukur kemampuan berbicara siswa secara
komunikatif. Ditemukan bahwa ada keterbatasan yang terjadi pada setiap dimensi
yang termasuk dalam tugas, seperti frekuensi penggunaan Bahasa Inggris,
ketepatan instruksi bahasa terhadap keterampilan siswa yang dinilai, kesesuaian
materi pembelajaran dengan bahasa siswa, peran guru dan siswa, dukungan
keterlibatan siswa, dan kategori kriteria penilaian berbicara. Penelitian ini
diharapkan bisa menjadi salah satu rujukan bagi guru pengajar sekolah dasar
dalam merancang tugas kemapuan berbicara Bahasa Inggris yang lebih baik dan
lebih tepat.
