Evaluation or Assessment. Analysis was conducted to identify the process which
was done by teacher about what to be learned and to whom the lesson was taught.
The preparation is the setting up process in creating the strategies to teach
speaking; which happened directly or in the planning of the lesson plan.
Implementation is the main process in practicing speaking which applies the
strategies or method. Evaluation or assessment is the feedback from the teacher all
or parts of materials which had been studied. Based on the interviews and
observations it was found that the instructional process of teaching speaking
which had been done by the teacher refers to the interactional view because the
teacher taught speaking based on the student’s interaction directly in a real
context. These research finding tend to ADDIE’s (2003) model. The development
