Abstract

This research investigates the implementation of the Direct Method in English language learning, particularly in improving students’ speaking ability. The research method used is classroom action research (CAR) in which the researchers apply two cycles. In each cycle, the researchers apply four stages, planning, taking action, observing, and reflecting. First, planning is used as a preparation before the method is implemented. Next is taking action, which means the Direct Method is implemented in the classroom. Third, the researchers observe how the Direct Method is being applied, and the last is the reflecting stage in which the researchers reflect all the research processes after the method is conducted. This cycle is repeated in the second cycle. The result shows that the Direct Method positively impacts the students’ speaking ability. Most of the students have actively participated in the class activity. Moreover, students looked motivated to improve their speaking ability by having plenty of discussions and cooperation with their fellow students.
