Purpose of Journal Improving Students’ Speaking Skill through Yahoo Messenger at University of Iqra Buru

Purpose
The author’s main argument is about with using the yahoo messenger or not, the students should improve their speaking skills, and with this method, they can interest to join and active in speaking class.
The reasons for the author’s main argument are,
First, because of many students of English Department of University of Iqra Buru (UNIQBU) in Ambon, Indonesia, they cannot communicate with each other in English well, either in the classroom or outside the classroom.
Second, Although English has become a compulsory subject in Indonesia from the fourth grade of elementary school up to university level, students are still poor in speaking English.
Third, from the author’s first observation shown the poor level of students’ speaking skill caused of the low of their activeness and interest in joining English class especially in speaking. It can be proven by their attendance the subject less than 75%; they were frequently passive in practising their English such in the classroom or outside the classroom.
Fourth, the main reasons above solely caused of the lack of vocabularies mastered by the students. Besides, the lack of lecturers’ ability in teaching English; where they still used conventional method-using speech method and teacher cantered- without giving the chances to the students for practicing; they have no skill to create an interested media of teaching, and they have low ability to use computer and internet as media of teaching even though the facility was already on campus. Those phenomena have become more worried to the faculty and university performance which will produce graduators who have no quality and invaluable in English if the problems wouldn’t be solved soon. In order to teach speaking successfully, a teacher should concern about the students’ motivation and interest.
And the last is, the use of media, somehow, would help the students to reach the objective of teaching (Hamalik, 1998); (Gerlach and Ely, 1980); (Long Van Nguyen, 2010); and (Jie Xiaoping, 2011).

CHAPTER EIGHT THE PETRIFIED FOREST

CHAPTER EIGHT THE PETRIFIED FOREST One of the most powerful persuasion techniques is social proof. Advertisers and marketers know the power of social proof, which is why they use it so often in their marketing materials. Social proof demonstrates to potential customers that a product is popular, causing the customers to think that the product is good to buy. 21 – THE SITCOM LAUGHTER TRACK Television studios realize the power of social proof, which is why a lot of TV sitcoms contain canned laughter. Research has found that people who view sitcoms that have laughter tracks find the sitcoms to be funnier than sitcoms that don’t.
