Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan strategi yang dipilih oleh guru pria dan wanita dalam mengajar berbicara di SMPN 1 Singaraja. Penelitian ini menganalisis strategi yang dipilih oleh lima guru bahasa Inggris yang mengajar kelas tujuh dan delapan di SMPN 1 Singaraja. Penelitian ini dirancang sebagai sebuah penelitian deskriptif yang menerapkan teknik analisis isi (content analysis) untuk menunjukkan dan memverifikasi data yang diperlukan. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi, kuesioner, dan wawancara dengan guru pria dan wanita. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru pria dan wanita menggunakan empat dari tujuh strategi mengajar dalam mengajar berbicara pada siswa mereka. Strategi tersebut adalah instruksi langsung, diskusi, bekerja berkelompok, dan aktivitas kinerja. Alasan dari guru pria dan wanita menggunakan strategi tersebut karena strategi tersebut dapat membuat siswa aktif berpartisipasi di kelas. Siswa dapat bertukar pengetahuan, ide atau opini dalam diskusi atau bekerja berkelompok dengan siswa lainnya. Siswa juga dapat belajar berbicara lebih banyak dalam aktivitas kinerja yang dapat membuat siswa percaya diri ketika siswa harus berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris dengan orang lain.
