We can found many problems in English Classroom especially in speaking classroom to

EFL young learners. Most students do not want to talk or say anything and they have low
motivation to learn English. Students feel afraid or under pressure and feel bored. Most
of English classroom does not provide enjoyable, fun, interesting and challenging
atmosphere to the students. The teacher has to be inventive in selecting interesting
materials and activities and also s/he should provide a great variety of these materials and
create more enjoyable speaking class through role play, discussion or create some kinds of
game to promote students speaking ability. One of the goals of teaching English is that
how students use the target language orally which reflects the use of communicative
competence and applies it in real communication.

game in this study has been started with the needs survey, planning and designing the

Kata kunci : Komunikatif, permainan papan

Kita menemukan banyak permasalahan pada pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris dikelas

khususnya untuk penutur asing. Sebagian besar siswa yang tidak mau berbicara dan
memiliki motivasi yang rendah untuk belajar Bahasa Inggris. Siswa merasa bosan, dan
tidak tertarik karena atmosfer kelas yang kurang menantang. Guru seharusnya memberikan
materi dan aktivitas yang menarik serta media pembelajaran yang mendukung suasana
yang menyenangkan. Salah satu tujuan pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris adalah bagaimana
siswa mampu menggunakan bahasa targetnya secara komunikatif secara lisan dan tulisan
dalam komunikasi yang nyata. Tujuan pembelajaran Bahasa adalah untuk menguasai
kemampuan komunikatif

Penelitian ini menggunakan model penelitian dan pengembangan ( R & D) yang

dimodifikasi dari teori Borg dan Gall untuk mengembangkan permainan papan yang
komunikatif pada pembelajaran berbicara khususnya pada deskriptif, naratif, recount dan
prosedur sebagai inovasi pada pengembangan media yang mendukung kemampuan
komunikatif siswa. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara dan angket dan uji coba permainan.

Ada dua pertanyaan penelitian : (1) Bagaimanakah pengembangan permainan papan

komunikatif yang mendukung kemampuan berbicara siswa (2) Bagaimanakah tingkat
aplikasi produk yang telah dikembangkan tersebut.

Hasil penelitian dan pengembangan menunjukan bahwa permainan papan komunikatif

cocok dan berguna untuk membantu siswa dalam memperoleh kemampuan komunikatif
dalam bahasa Inggris. Permainan papan komunikatif juga memenuhi kriteria sebagai
media yang menarik, menyenangkan dan dapat digunakan pada Sekolah Menengah
Pertama.
