be learnt because it is the way to communicate with other people, but
in fact the students’ ability in speaking is low. It is caused by students’

speaking ability especially on recount text. The objectives of this
study are: (1) To describe the students’ participation during learning

in teaching speaking recount text at MTs Al-Asror Gunungpati
Semarang. The participant of this study was 35 students in class VIIIth
