The ability to speak in English is one of the requisite skills for vocational high school students majoring in hospitality training. However, most tenth-grade students manifested insufficient skills in speaking English, which resulted in low confidence in speaking. To cope with the challenge, the researchers implemented modified role-play and guided writing to stimulate students in speaking English in classroom action research. The procedure of the research consisted of planning, acting, observing and reflecting. The researchers employed observation, questionnaire, documentation and field notes in collecting the data. The research findings presented that the students’ motivation to practice their speaking had increased significantly. Thus, the researchers conclude that role-play and guided writing can be used as a communicative activity where students can simultaneously practise and improve their proficiency in communicating. The researchers also propose suggestion to fellow English teachers to effectively manage the time as well as engaging media to create an enjoyable atmosphere in the teaching-learning process through role-play and guided writing.

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is one of strategies which English teachers use in teaching oral activities. The activities which can be implemented in PBL are discussion, conversation, presentation (individual or group), role-play, and others.  It also can be an aid in studying and teaching. Based on previous research, using PBL technique can improve students’ speaking ability for second graders of SMPN 1 Kawedanan, Magetan by Permatasari (2013). Because of that, the researcher implements the teaching of speaking using PBL at SMK Dian Indonesia, Sidoarjo. The descriptive qualitative is used as a design of this research. The subject of the research is 20 first-grade students of nursery class, from the academic year 2015/2016. There are three instruments used to collect the data. First is the documentation of related lesson plan and syllabus, second is the observation of field-notes, third is a questionnaire for the students. PBL in teaching speaking is found helpful to regulate students’ ideas and stimulates the group presenter to extend the statement using their own words. PBL was interesting for them, because the researcher gives occasion for them to choose their own topics. They found themselves interested, happy, joyful, and comfortable during the implementation of the PBL because the process of teaching and learning is designed appropriately with the students’ ideas. To gain an effective teaching speaking using PBL, students needed to be active in making collaborative discussions, and giving feedbacks to each other, so that they can build social relationship.

This research has a purpose to find out the efficiency of of using education videos to increase the vocational high school students’ mathematical communication ability. The method used for this research was a quasi experiment method where the researcher took two classes as research samples. The first class was the experimental class where the students were shown the education videos and the second class was the control class where the students were taught as usual. The materials which were used for this research was a linear program. The research’s populations were the tenth grade students of SMK AL-Halim Garut with class X Multimedia and X Teknik Komputer dan Jaringan (TKJ) (Class of Computer Techniques and Network)as the samples. From the result of the first normality data analysis test (Pre-test), it was found that the experimental class did not distribute normally, therefore, the research continued by using Mann Whitney’s experiment. Sig.0.456 > 0.05 was resulted from the count, therefore H0 was accepted, it meant that there was no difference between the experimental class and control class. Meanwhile, on the final test (Post-test), the scores of both classes did not distribute normally, therefore Mann Whitney’s experiment was used again to find out. Sig.0.000 > 0.05 was resulted from the count, therefore H0 was rejected. In conclusion, “The efficiency of the students’ mathematical communication ability who got the education videos was more effective than those who were taught as usual on the linear program material”
