ABSTRACT

This  study  aims  to  analyze  the  effect  of  the  debate  theme  in  the  speaking ability of the university students and to investigate the desirable  evaluation  methods  for  the  debate. The  debate  is  the  educational  speaking  activity  to  interact  the  students each other that criticizes, accepts, and interacts on the othersʹ opinions.  This  starts  from  the  premise  that  mutual  interaction  among  the students in the class can affect the capability to acquire the language  significantly.  Most  of  the  communication  in  the  class  is  the  interaction between the lecturers and the students, therefore, it becomes  more  important  to  prioritize  the  debate  class  in  the  university education. The  language  learning  in  Structuralism  or  Cognition  has  been  proposed to start from the learning the external forms of language data  or  teachersʹ  initiations.  However,  the  negotiation  of  the  meaning  has been emphasized by mutual interaction in the language learning in  the  interaction  theory.  Speaking  and  listening  have  been  proposed  not by general methods that the students simply acquire the language but  by  social  interaction  in  this  study. The  debate  based  on  this  interaction  theory  has  been  established  from the defining the debate themes upon the development and interest  levels  of  the  students  so  that  they  could  get  more  information  than the lecturerʹs feedback, moreover, improve the learning attitude in  terms  of  definition  area.  In  addition,  responding  to  the  peerʹs  speech, they could acquire the important technique of speaking and listening  to  find  and  amend  their  errors  at  the  same  time.  In  case  of feedback only from the lecturer, it may generate the problem to receive  the  feedback  without  any  criticism,  however,  the  interaction  with peers has the benefit to receive the feedback selectively in view of  the  same  position.  Despite  the  positive  aspect  of  the  debate  class  in the university education, it requires the acceptances and applications  of  a  variety  of  evaluation  methods,  hence,  they  should  be reviewed focusing on the debate cases.
