Speaking is one of the important skills that must be learned by anyone who wants to master English. In mastering speaking skills, it is necessary to use several strategies. Researchers compiled this thesis with the aim of knowing how the strategies used by tutors in teaching speaking , and students' responses to the strategies used by tutors helped them improve students' speaking skills at Fajar English Course, Pare, Kediri. The research method used by the researcher is a qualitative descriptive method. Researchers obtained data by observing one speaking class program, namely Mentari class. The researcher also interviewed three tutors in Mentari class and two students in Mentari class. Finally, the researcher collected the documentation obtained from the observations in class. The data were analyzed by organizing the data obtained by the researcher. The findings of this study indicate that the strategies applied by tutors are conversation, story telling, presentation, debate, breaking news, and speech.The reason the tutor uses this strategy is because the strategy is considered a fun strategy, gives students confidence to dare to speak in public, motivates students not to be afraid of making mistakes when speaking, and from speaking practice students also gain new knowledge. For students who have difficulty in learning speaking, the tutor encourages and motivates them to practice more speaking both inside and outside the classroom. Because every difficulty in the process of learning speaking is considered to be easy to overcome with a lot of practice.

The background of this research is based on the results of observations with teachers and students that teachers in using audio-visual-based learning media are already creative but not maximally. From the teacher's perception, stated that they were still clueless in using IT-based media. With creativity, it is hoped that the implementation of learning will run effectively, be fun, and lead to threats to the expected quality of learning. The solution taken by the teacher is to learn more about technology, and diligently attend training. The goal to be achieved in this research is to find out the form of teacher creativity in using audio-visual media in class VII fiqh subjects at MTsS Fastabiqul Khairat Gunung Malintang. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research which is a form of the most basic research, aimed at describing or describing phenomena that exist or occur in the field. In this study the authors describe Teacher Creativity in Using Audio Visual Media in Jurisprudence Subjects at MTsS Fastabiqul Khairat Gunung Malintang. The technique of collecting data in this research is through interviews, where researchers ask for answers by way of debriefing verbally with research informants. Based on the results of the research conducted by the authors, it was found that teachers at MTsS Fastabiqul Khairat Gunung Malintang have not been optimally able to be creative in using audio-visual media seen from the four indicators of creativity. First, the smoothness of the teacher, namely being able to adapt material to the media but the teacher has difficulty mastering sources from the internet, secondly, in terms of flexibility, namely the teacher uses applications but has not been fully able to use the application fluently, the third is teacher creativity in terms of elaboration, namely the teacher adding information in the media, fourth, teacher creativity in terms of originality, that is, teachers can use audio-visual media in their classes.

This study aims to analyze the initial needs of learning strategies in increasing motivation and learning outcomes of Mathematics for class V Elementary School (SD). The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with research instruments in the form of observation, questionnaires, interviews, and assessment document analysis. The data analysis technique used includes three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the initial instrument data analysis, it was found that the motivation and learning outcomes of the fifth grade students at SD Negeri Songgom 01, SD Negeri Songgom 02, SD Negeri Songgom 04 and SD Negeri Songgom 05 in learning mathematics were still low. The average value of student learning motivation is only 62 with the highest score being 82 and the lowest score being 50. While the average score of student learning outcomes is 66.7 in the low category while the highest score is 85 and the lowest score is 45. Low motivation and student learning outcomes are caused by the condition of the learning environment that is not conducive, lack of facilities and infrastructure, lack of support from parents, and the difficulty of using appropriate learning strategies in learning. This research can be used as an initial analysis of the need for appropriate learning strategies in Mathematics learning materials so that students' motivation and learning outcomes can increase.
