Moreover to be able to speak fluently is also the aspect that students should achieve as described in Basic Competence for the teaching of English in the secondary level of education such as junior and senior high school. A technique that can be used in order to develop the students fluency is 4/3/2 technique. This technique was found to improve the fluency of college students and adult learners. It is necessary to investigate the effect of this technique on the development of fluency at school levels.

Those recordings then were transcribed and analysed. The data were analyzed by comparing the words per minute and hesitation that speaker made among those three deliveries. In short in this technique the students are compared to themselves. Therefore this technique has no control group to be compared with the experimental group. The subject of the study were ten students of class VIII-B of the first semester in the 2011/2012 at SMPN 5 Malang. This study took a week for collecting the data. The research findings indicated that the 4/3/2 technique has significant effect on the students fluency. The improvement of fluency can be measured from the words per minute and hesitation per 100 words that students made. On average there was an increase in words per minute (51.02 %) from the 4 minute version to the 2 minute version. There was also reduction in the number of hesitation. On average there was a decrease of 31.5 % from the first delivery to the third delivery. Regarding the research findings it was evident that 4/3/2 technique has significant effect on the development of fluency of junior high school students.
