INTRODUCTION

In this modern era, English has become an international language in the world. People use English as second language or foreign language. Lewaherilla (2011) cited Harmer (2001) as finding "Nowadays English has become one of languages people use into introductory language in the earth". In English lessons itself, listening, speaking, writing, and reading are four basic skills that students must learn. But now in here, the writer doesn't discuss all of them. The writer will discuss about speaking skill. According to Sianipar and Sumarsih (2013), "Among the four skill in English, speaking is very important to learn since it can accommodate an interaction process between a speaker and a listener" (p.1).

Speaking is used whenever and wherever we are. We communicate with other people use speaking. With speaking students can also interact with people around them. The students in English department, speaking skill is really important. First, when we want to ask a question to the teacher about the material, they must speak English. Second, they speak with friends also use English. Next when they will present in front of their classmate, they also must speak English.

They speak English not only at college and home, but also wherever they are. P a g e 2 | 6 Sianipar and Sumarsih (2013) found out:

To speak English is not easy because speaker should be able to master a lot of rules in speaking English such as, pronunciation, intonation, fluency, tone of voice, stress, vocabulary, grammatical structure, coherence, using of body language, and effectiveness of communication. (p.1) So, if students want to learn English speaking well, they must familiarize speak English every day. But, there are some problems of students why they are difficult to speak English.

First, students have difficulties in using the correct grammar, intonation, and pronunciation.

Second, students feel afraid and shy when they speak English wrongly in front of their friends, and then their friends laugh. Third, students just know some vocabularies, so they don't know what they will speak in front of their friends.

In conclusion, the writer can solve this problem using one of the learning technique in cooperative learning model using Two Stay Two Stray technique or TS-TS to increase students' speaking ability so that all students can be active in class. Students can also brave express their opinion when learning in progress.
