they want to interact with people in the world Besides, English is also used for skkn transferring science, knowledge, and technology of information In Vietnam, English becomes foreign language which everyone should learn to survive in this era Almost in all fields of occupations and professions, English takes a very significant role as one of the requirements for applying a good job Therefore, to learn English is a must for the people whose native language is not English, if they want to develop their carriers in this global era So, they will not be left behind Students, especially in high schools, have recently begun to show their concern on learning English They want to broaden their knowledge through English They are eager to learn and to use English in their daily communication However, in high schools, teachers mainly focus on grammar points and knowledge needed in the entrance examinations Some of students realize that English is much needed for their future career Nowadays, students find extracurricular activity or English club as one of the several ways in improving their English, especially in spoken form They use English club as their media to improve their English It has been generally assumed that participation in extracurricular activities has a positive impact for students in progressing their English Yildiz (2015) stated that to be more precise to learn English language, students need to join extracurricular activities in language learning, such as English language debate, journalism club or drama club activities to be more fluent in English The extracurricular activities may offer many skills that are not easily taught in classrooms (Holt, Sehn, Spence, Newton, & Ball; 2012) So, it will be beneficial for students in gaining more knowledge High school students spend a majority of their time inside of the classroom Therefore, students join in extracurricular activities not only for entertainment, social and enjoyment purposes, but most important, to gain and improve their skills in English Besides, the activities of extracurricular are also as a way for students to experience what they are learning in class in a real-world context They practice what they get in the classroom in daily life In conclusion, joining English club as extracurricular activities is good opportunities for students to achieve their goals in improving their English skills, stimulate their creativity and confidence in using English language In Trieu son high school, learning English two years ago still focused on Grammar points and the text book Students did not have opportunity to use English in communicative ways Therefore, extracurricular activities in general and English club in particular are something very strange to them According to the new teaching method called student – centered learning, along with the leading spirit of school administrators in our school, English teachers in my school jointly held the English club programs for our students For myself, working as an English teacher for over ten years and a leader of English group in my school for many years, I interested to the research which entitled “Organize English club activities effectively to improve students’ English skills especially speaking skill in Trieu Son high school” as my experience initiative 1.2 Aims of the study skkn Referring to the problems above, the objectives of this research will be mentioned below: - To identify the influence of joining English Club toward students’ English learning spirit and students’ English skills especially speaking skill - To know whether joining the English Club is effective on improving English skills especially speaking skill or not 1.3 Subjects of the study The subject of the study is 40 students who joined in English club at Trieu Son high school in academic year 2021 - 2022 They are in tenth and eleventh grade 1.4 Methods of the study In this study, I wanted to know the perception of the students toward English club activities and the effectiveness of English club activities on improving English skills, especially speaking skill I used questionnaire to collect the data I found that students perceived English club play an important role in supporting students to practice English skills DEVELOPMENT 2.1 Theoretical background 2.1.1 Definition of English Club English club is a student-run organization which runs exciting social and cultural events, such as language forum, writing essay, creative writing, or poetry readings (Afia, 2006) The emphasis of the English club is on exposure to the English language rather than the development of a strict set of English language skills (Afia, 2006) English club means a club for people who are interested in English language practice They gather in the club with the same goal that is to improve their English skills The existence of English club is very helpful for the foreign language learners It is because they will have enough opportunities to use the target language in real communication continually The language environment created by the members is encouraged to practice what they have learned about English 2.1.2 Definition of Speaking skill Based on Torky (2006:17), he stated that speaking is one of the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) Speaking is defined as an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving and processing information Speaking ability in this research is the capability or the competence that students’ have to talk and communicate using English language fluently It is used to share meaning through the use of words in spoken language and it kind of speaking for beginner level It appropriate for students in junior high school The researcher also measured some indicators in this research such as pronunciation, intonation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension 2.2 Real situation in Trieu son high school before applying the study In order to know students’ perception toward English club extracurricular activity in stimulating learning English spirit and improving students’ English skills especially speaking skill, I made a survey with some questionnaires at the beginning of the first semester At that time, English Club in Trieu Son high skkn school was underway to set up The objects of this survey were 40 students who were going to take part in English club as an extracurricular activity Questionnaire Students’ perception toward English club extracurricular activity in improving English skills, especially speaking skill before taking part in English club N o Questionnaire item English club is useful in practicing my English skills English club encourages my willingness to practicing my English skills Practicing in English club is fun English club is important to increase my speaking ability I prefer practicing speaking in English club than regular class I feel glad practicing speaking in English club I more motivated and interested practicing speaking in English club English club activities are always encouraging my motivation to communicate

: Agree DA :Disagree SDA :Strongly Disagree Based on the background above the researcher found some problems in students’ perception toward students’ learning English spirit and English skills especially speaking skill at Trieu Son high school First, the students need extra time in learning English to gain more knowledge The limitation of time in learning English in the regular class makes students less effective in mastering English Second, students need a fun way to learn and practice their English English is one of lessons that is considered difficult by some students because English is a foreign language for students in Vietnam Thus, in learning English students need learning method that are fun for them Fun learning methods will make students like the lesson and will make them easier to master the lesson Third, students have a problem in learning English especially in speaking There are some problems faced by students in learning English especially in speaking First, errors in pronunciation often occur in students Second, in sharing opinions and ideas students often lack of confidence On their performance, students are often afraid to make mistake The lack of imagination and critical thinking also the problem faced by the students who seldom practice English in real contexts The last is students not know yet the benefits of an English club For some students who consider English as a difficult subject, they not want to join the English club because they assume that if they follow the English club it would make them more confused 2.3 Methods applied to solve problems 2.3.1 Identifying the aims of joining English Club The teaching and learning in our school is supported by several extracurricular activities Those are English club program, sport, scout, choir, flag hoisting unit Based on Government Regulation on National Education Standard stated that every school may give an opportunity to develop students’ competence by applying an extracurricular program Since it is not a compulsory subject, students have right to join it or not The point of the English club program held by school is to give students chance to improve their English especially their speaking skill and have more exposures and time in learning English because they don’t get extra time in regular class skkn As Mulyasa (2007) states that an extracurricular program in a certain program held outside the school regular time for supporting and improving students competence In this school, the English club program is a language program that is to enhance the students achievement in mastering English skill, there are four skills that should be mastered in learning English They are listening, speaking, reading and writing By mastering listening and reading, students can get some information from what they listening and read Meanwhile, speaking and writing are kinds of output skills which mean that the students will produce ideas, but in this research will more focused based on students’ speaking skill because in the English club extracurricular more dominate to enriching students’ speaking skill Enriching students language program is needed to enhance students language proficiency in school Another aim English club program is to support the student’s academic achievement and improve students ability in English The benefits joining English club are students will be able to participate the various activities based on the club objectives, students will have an opportunity to take part in the national and international English competition, students will be able to develop their listening and speaking skill through formal and informal situations and the last is students will have a chance to go aboard and learn different cultures To achieve the benefits, the students are required to be able to use English as a language communication It means students are able to produce and use English text, in spoken and written form The Advantages of Joining English Club: - Healthy Playground: Despite being in a learning setting, clubs have a lighter tone in terms of implementing lessons through first-hand interactions with other members The atmosphere is less formal compared to school classrooms English study groups are more of a healthy playground for members It lets members interact with other members who share common hobbies, interests, and English competency It also lets them build relationships with peers inside and outside the group Whether the group is done on a weekday or weekend, it serves as a fresh outlet for members to socialize with other members - Positive Atmosphere: Group facilitators or teachers focus more on making the atmosphere of the group welcoming for members to enjoy their sessions Group activities further encourage participation and communication between old and new members Groups are consistent in holding meetings and sessions These meetings help members in having better social relationship skills that they can use with people outside the group In group activities, members won’t feel discouraged when committing mistakes since they know other members and teachers are there to help them improve through feedback sessions - Targets Improvement: The main benefit members get from joining an English study group is the opportunity to further develop their English skills, with the main focus on improving their conversational skills Just by talking to members and participating in activities, members enjoy sharpening their English skills in different aspects, such as listening and speaking - Another Opportunity: Besides, got the opportunity to improve their English skills, students also have an opportunity to take part in the national and international English competition skkn 2.3.2 The
