Abstract

Due to low motivation of Management students in sharing their ideas orally, a study on using a talking card to promote students’ motivation in speaking skill performance was conducted. A classroom observation method was used in this study. The sample was 40 students of Management Students in the sixth Semester of STIE MuliaDarmaPratama Palembang. The data were obtained by means of observation and questionnaire. Based on the result of the data analysis, it found out that there was a significant difference of students’ willingness in speaking up their opinion after implementing the talking cards. It was also found out that the samples had positive attitude toward the use of talking cards. Most of them were glad to have the cards during the lesson. The students became more enthusiastic as they competed each other to spend the cards soon. They also, subconsciously, developed their 4Cs (Critical thinking and Problem solving, Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Innovation) as they should find any strategy in order to produce words to argue for their friend’s opinion or simply just to give comment to their friend’s story. Finally, the writer recommends the use of this card in order to promote students’ motivation in speaking as well as develop their 4Cs.
