The listening and speaking skills are the initial abilities that students must have. Listening, continued with speaking can be considered as the first step in learning a language. It is the foundation for getting to know the foreign languages that are learned. As it is stated by Iskandarwassid et Sunendar (2008 : 230) about the total time spent on communicating by most adults; listening takes up 45%; speaking, 30%; reading, 16%; and writing, about 9%. However, listening comprehension and oral production still get less attention and are often underestimated by students and teachers. They assume that all normal people can listen and speak so that listening and speaking skills will be mastered by students automatically. Most teachers believe that it will develop naturally within the process of language learning. They do not seem to pay attention to these skills while designing their lessons. The teaching focusing in listening and speaking have long been ―somewhat neglected and poorly taught, (Mendelsohn, 1994: 9). Method • This is a quasi-experimental research. This research was carried out with quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. The procedure : 1. Pre-test, 2. Treatments using chair game technique (3 times), 3. Post-test • Techniques of Data Analysis : The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively and the data obtained from the pre-test and post-test were analyzed qualitatively. • The instruments : a. a questionnaire (the aim is to find out the difficulties encountered and the solutions made by FLE students), b. a test (pre-test and post-test).
