| Summary: | In this globalisation era, Indonesian university students speaking skills isincreasingly recognised as a serious concern in English language teaching andlearning. Empirical evidence showed that the students stihave problem in speaking,both accurately and fluently. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness ofDarmayenti and Nofiadri (2015) Mingle Model to improve Banjarese undergraduatesspeaking skills. Sample consists of two selected intact group of second-semesterstudents at a university in South Kalimantan, with a total of 33 undergraduates whowere divided into the experimental and control groups. The control group wentthrough the conventional teaching speaking method while the experimental groupwent through the Mingle Model. This is a mixed method study which utilised thequantitative and qualitative approach. In the quantitative phase, data of both groupswere collected through a quasi-experimental method which involved the pretest andposttest. An interview was also conducted to investigate the views of the experimentalgroup on the use of the Mingle Model to improve their speaking accuracy andspeaking fluency. Data collected were analysed using serial t-test and the Five-PhasesCycles analysis. The t-test results were statistically significant (p <.05) with t (31) = -2.416, sig = .011 for the speaking accuracy and t (31) = -2.597, sig =.007 for thespeaking fluency. The qualitative results indicated that the participants found theMingle Model provided an easy way to communicate in the class and optimised thelearning time. The overall results of the study showed that the Mingle Model was aneffective approac to improve students speaking accuracy and speaking fluency ascompared to the conventional teaching speaking method. To further prove, a followupstudy using true experimental design and with a variety of population on theMingle Model is essential to expand the comprehension on the use of the model. |
