Abstract:
This study aims to describe the empowerment of English Club for students’
achievement in speaking English, for sixth-semester students of PG-PSD at
Lambung Mangkurat University. This study is conducted by using a
qualitative approach. The conclusion of this study is that the English Club at
PG-PSD of Lambung Mangkurat University allows for the empowerment of
organization programs where students can learn English outside the
classroom. It supports students to join the SEA Teacher program in the
Philippines. It also supports the teaching-learning speaking process in the
classroom directly; especially on the component of speaking. It can be seen
from the student's speaking achievement; most students can achieve a high
score for each component of speaking or get an excellent score; few students
achieve a ‘good’ category score.
