Abstract

This study discusses how the implementation of small group discussion (SGD) improved the student’s speaking fluency in intermediate class at Ma’had Al-Jami’ah UIN Maliki Malang. This was done based on the learning problems found in the preliminary study that the student’s speaking fluency was 3.5 in communication and 3.53 in explanation. They were not active in speaking fluency either communication or explanation. Furthermore, they did not totally involve in the learning process. This study used classroom action research of Kemmis and Mc Taggart Model with the procedures: planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting the action. The findings show that in cycle I, they got 3.70 in communication and 3.78 in explanation. Finally in cycle 2, their communication in fluency was 4.16 and 4.08 in explanation. This was done by revising the materials to support the discussion. This means that SGD can improve their speaking fluency.
