One of them is speaking. Speaking is interpreted as a verbal process of delivering a message by the speaker in a certain way so that the listener can understand. According to Sukatmi (2009), speaking is the ability to “deliver a message through a speech” (p. 24). It means that speaking is the ability to pronounce words to express, declare, and deliver thoughts, ideas and feelings. Speaking is categorized into the productive skill. It could not be separated from listening. When someone speaks, he produces the text and it should be meaningful. The act of communication through speaking is commonly performed through face to face interaction and occurs as part of a dialogue or other form of verbal exchange. The hearer’s understanding is depend on what is said by speaker and on of what else has been said in the interaction. In the second language learning and teach ing, Aleideh, AlSobh & Alkhasawneh (2016, p. 182) argue that “speaking seems to be the most important skill required for communication. The goal of teaching speaking is improving students’ communicative skill in interacting with others. When learners acquire language, they do not only learn how to compose and comprehend correct sentences as isolated linguistic units of random occurrence; the learners also learn how to use sentences appropriately to achieve a communicative purpose. While in this globalization era, English has been a common foreign language learned. Ellis (1994) states that “a large percentage of the World’s language learners study English in order to develop proficiency in speaking” (p. 296). Moreover, Ellis (1994) also claims that the mastery of speaking skills in learning English became a priority for many second or foreign language learners. The 2013 Curriculum emphasizes on the modern pedagogical dimension in learning activities using scientific approach. In principle, the learning activities are educational processes that provide an opportunity for students to develop their potential abilities. It is expected that the curriculum can increase the students’ attitude, knowledge, and skill needed for them to contribute to society, nation, and mankind. Therefore, learning activities aim at empowering all potential students to have competence skill. The function of teacher as facilitator is providing students with useful phase (Mayer, 2008). It encourages the students to construct new information and interpret their phases in the classroom. Dealing with case, the teacher can guide them for more meaningful learning. Moreover, in the 2013 Curriculum, the function of teacher is a guide who assists the students to find something new by discovering, as what the process of scientific approach has included. The previous researches were focused on 2013 curriculum had been conducted by Rafita (2016) see also in; Taruna (2015).; Noviani (2016).; Ninghardjanti, Indrawati, Rahmanto, Dirgatama & Huda (2018).; Sumual & Ali (2017); Nugraheni & Faridi (2016); Prayogo, Rukmini & Bharati (2013); Faridi (2012). The research backed by the status of the SMA Negeri 2 Magelang as pilloting project implementation of Curriculum 2013. The aim of the research were: (1) the implementation of the Curriculum 2013 in SMA Negeri 2 Magelang; (2) the difficulties or problems encountered in the implementation of the Curriculum 2013 in SMA Negeri 2 Magelang; (3) the efforts undertaken in addressing difficulties faced in the implementation of the Curriculum 2013 in SMA Negeri 2 Magelang. This research used descriptive qualitative research approach. The subject of this research was the principal, three teachers, five students and five parents of students. Data collection techniques used was interviews and documentation. The main instrument was a researcher in doing research that helped interview sheet and guidelines documentation. The data collection, then analyzed using interactive analysis models. Its validity was tested through the triangulation of data sources. The results showed that: (1) the implementation of the Curriculum 2013 had been running according to the purpose. The goal Hikmah Fujiati, Rudi Hartono, Sri Wuli Fitriati/ EEJ 10 (3) (2020) 292 - 300 294 was to improve student’s understanding, skills, being active, capability of discussion and character changing, but it still needed to be done throughout the evaluation and improvement aspects; (2) the difficulties faced by teachers in the implementation of Curriculum 2013 related to media, learning packaging, assessment of student learning outcomes and provided learning resources. While the difficulties in students was looking for a learning resource for completed the tasks; (3) efforts in tackling the difficulties of implementing Curriculum 2013 with carrying out training, workshops, MGMP and IHT (In House Training). In addition, the assessment of student learning outcomes was done by doing the practice of periodic training. The implementation of Curriculum 2013 will challenge the teacher to use scientific approach in teaching language. It will have some problems in implementing scientific approach in productive and receptive skill in English. Wati, Bharati & Hartono (2016) found that the problem during the implementation is the difficulties using target language fully during teaching learning activity. Ekawati (2017) found that the problems in implementing scientific approach in teaching speaking were the class is too big, lack of vocabularies, and pronunciations. In curriculum 2013, there is a guideline in arranging and developing a lesson plan. The syllabus and lesson plan in 2013 curriculum is not only about opening, core activity and closing, but also has criteria’s and principles in developing opening, core activity and closing. The criteria’s and principles must be followed by the teachers in order to make an effective and efficient the process of teaching and learning and also in achieving the goal of teaching. By following the principles in arranging syllabus and lesson plan, the teaching and learning will accordance with the curriculum itself. Based on the explanation above, the researcher thinks that learners need an approach which is not only facilitates students in developing students’ productive in speaking skills, but also by using appropriate lesson plan based on 2013 curriculum.

Regarding to the syllabus, the teachers got the syllabus from the school. The observation result told that teachers did not competent enough in designing syllabus. Regarding to the finding, the researcher suggested that all teachers had to write the material clearly in the lesson plan. For example, when they taught recount text, they had to write definition, purpose, generic structure, language features, and gave the example of recount text. All the teachers should be able to do all steps that they had written in the lesson plan and they should not write what they never did in classroom. The implementation of Curriculum 2013 in using the materials of teaching speaking skill In delivering the material, the scientific approach could be done by managing the classroom condition by carrying out the five steps in teaching using scientific approach, they were observing, questioning, experimenting, associating and communicating.

In teaching and learning process, the English teacher class 1 thought the material about the about guessing games. Each student had their partner then the teacher asked two students to practice the games in front of the class. One student gave the keywords and one else guess it. So, the material taught was very interesting and made students happy and the material was also easier to understand. The English teacher class 2 taught about the suggesting and offering help. She asked the students to find out their partner and asked the students to make a dialogue. After that, the English teacher walked around to manage their students and checked their grammar and vocabulary used. After finishing it, each partner had to practice in front of their friends. Meanwhile, the English teacher class 3 taught about offering help or service. This material was same with the previous class but the difference was the students in this class were very active and the language used was full English. When they asked and gave comment about the material in teaching and learning process. Regarding to the interview, the teachers were interviewed by using some questions related to their implementation of Curriculum 2013 in using the materials of teaching speaking skill which presented as follows: Table 3. Interview questions In teaching speaking skill, what materials you use in the classroom to support your teaching? T1 Uhh yeah we give chance more to the students to do all the activities in the class. Uuhh.. if they are bored sometimes we sing together hehehe T2 :umm I used buku paket, modul like that. T3 Materials, sometimes I used books and aa I give them related song and if aa sometimes I give them aa maybe some wise words like that. In responding to this question, the teachers gave some reasons that were stated based on what they had done in teaching and learning process. The Implementation of Curriculum 2013 in Using Media in the Classroom The implementation of curriculum 2013 in using media in the classroom was used in teaching and learning process. The teachers had their own creativity to make the teaching and learning process interesting. It also based on teacher competence or the way the teachers understood about Curriculum 2013. The media was applied in the lesson plan, the chosen of the media was driven to make the learning process more interesting, so it could motivate the students during the learning process. In doing the teaching and learning process, the teachers used teaching media or aid in order to make students easily to understand the material instructed, thus the implementation was going well. Therefore, to obtain the teachers’ argument in using media based on curriculum 2013, the researcher gave questions as follows: Table 4. Interview questions Do you think teaching methods and media are needed in teaching and learning process? Why? Teacher 1 : uh yeah I do. It uh facilitates the teachers to present the material. Teacher 2: sure, because media will help teacher and students in process aa teaching learning process. Teacher 3: of course, because when we teaching and learning process in the classroom the media or method is very important because to support the students when they are boring about the material but there is method or media and it is make students interesting of the materials itself and helps them in doing the teaching and learning process done well and more effective. Techniques the Teacher Used in Teaching Learning Process Based on the class observation and video recording, the teachers used scientific approach in teaching learning process. Basically, three Hikmah Fujiati, Rudi Hartono, Sri Wuli Fitriati/ EEJ 10 (3) (2020) 292 - 300 298 English teachers had chosen the teaching material appropriate with the students and in line with the 2013 curriculum. The material related to the teenager daily activity. In the teaching and learning process, the English teachers used discussion techniques in the classroom. So the teacher told the students to sit in the groups and discuss the material given. After the discussion finished, they presented in front of the class. The implementation of assessment based on Curriculum 2013 Based on the implementation of assessment in curriculum 2013, the teachers’ competence in designing and applying assessment and evaluation were varied. It could be obtained by using students’ hand out, oral assessment, or giving assignment. Relating to the 2013 Curriculum, the assessment applied was authentic assessment in which there were many elements applied. Those components were namely cognitive, skill, and affective. Affective is only managed in Religion lesson and civic education. In other lesson it was done implicitly. The result of the observation checklist of this competency showed that there was only 82,85% of indicators were applied well. The Implementation of Students’ Evaluation From the observation, the researcher found that all teachers had done all items in evaluating process. After finishing all materials at the end of the learning process, the teachers corrected students’ mistake when the students practice dialogue in front of the class. The way the teachers corrected the students’ mistake were different. Some of them corrected it directly, but another was corrected after one student finished their practice. The evaluation done aimed to make all students knew the correct pronunciation of the word so that they could improve their weakness. Both of the evaluation ways were good, but the teachers tended to use the second way. The second way of evaluation was useful for all students and it was not only applied for a student who made the mistake but also the other students would not replay the mistake at the second time and they could correct themselves. However, all the students were given spoken test to know their students’ understanding about the material. All the teachers gave feedback to the students, but sometimes they forgot to do it. CONCLUSIONS Based on the research data interpretation and discussion, the conclusion could be drawn that the application of syllabus and lesson plan was applied well by three English teachers in teaching and learning process. From the result of observations showed that three English teachers created their own teaching and learning instruments such as syllabus and lesson plan. Then teachers applied at least 95% of the lesson plan on teaching and learning process. Moreover, in applying syllabus and lesson plan, the English teachers applied it by seeing from the real situation, condition of the classroom, and the students’ needs in learning. So the syllabuses and lesson plans made were flexible and it was created based on the classroom situation. However, apart from this condition, syllabus and lesson plans made for teachers’ parameter and the standards of teaching and learning process in the classroom. All the teachers believed that method is the main part of teaching and learning component. In this case, the methods were used by the teachers in teaching and learning process basically dominated by scientific approach and communicative approach. In using the teaching media, not all teachers used media when they taught. The teachers who used media agreed that teaching media had many advantages in teaching and learning process. It implied that the use of teaching media could reduce the students’ bored on learning process. On the other hand, the teachers who did not use teaching media assured that the use of teaching media sometimes influence the students’ attention learning process so that they tended to play than learn. Regarding to the evaluation on the teaching and learning process, it was not Hikmah Fujiati, Rudi Hartono, Sri Wuli Fitriati/ EEJ 10 (3) (2020) 292 - 300 299 regularly given by the teachers in every meeting and basically all the teachers gave the evaluation to their students in their own way. The evaluation given was not always in the form of formal test, but also it could be in the informal test. However, the form of the evaluation model was the oral test. Hopefully, this research gives positive effect in English teaching and learning process. This research is not perfect because dealing with the problem of using assessment technique, the researcher suggest the teachers to improve their creativity in using assessment techniques. They can utilize many types of assessment techniques that they consider the most effective and efficient in accordance with the assessment material, the number of students and the time provided. The researcher hopes that other researchers interested in conducting study about assessment in teaching speaking based on 2013 curriculum. REFERENCES Creswell. J.W. (2012).
