INTRODUCTION
The improvement of English skills of Indonesian people is still relatively low. The results of studies conducted by EF, the English Proficiency Index in Indonesia in 2019 is ranked 61 out of 100 countries with a proficiency index score of 50.06 (Index, 2019). Indonesian Language Proficiency Index value according to the data has decreased, considering that in 2018, Indonesia is ranked 51 with an English Proficiency Index value of 51.58 (EF, 2018).
While today, English communication skills are needed, especially in the world of education and the world of work. Many companies recruit workers by requiring them to be able to talk English. Perhaps English can be found in formal education, but in the implementation, formal education did not teach English speaking adequately, so students often experienced confusion and difficulty in communicating using English. Based on the results of research in several decades, English language skills include listening skills, speaking, reading and writing. This was revealed by H.D. Brown that for more than six decades now, research and practice in English language teaching has identified the four skills -listening, speaking, reading, and writing -as of paramount importance (Brown, 2007). Therefore, educational services are needed for the community regarding learning English. Educational services that provide English language learning can be obtained both inside and outside of school. One of the educational services for learning English in schools can be provided at extracurricular activities.

Review of literature
The concept of out-of-school education is reviewed by expert fees. Coombs, in Sudjana stated that education outside school is any educational activity that is organized, carried out separately or is an important part of a broader activity with the aim of providing special services to learning citizens in achieving learning goals (Sudjana, 2006). According to Mambili stated that nonformal education can be operationally defined as an organised, structured and systematic learning service delivered outside the framework of formal school system to a specific group(s) of people for a specific objective, at low cost in terms of both time and resources (Mambili, 2004). Meanwhile, in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20-year 2003 Article 1 paragraph 1 concerning the National Education System, out-of-school education is known as non-formal education, which is the path of education outside of formal education that can be implemented in stages. Non-formal education is held for citizens who need education services that function as substitutes, additions, and / or complementary formal education in order to support lifelong education. Meanwhile, in Article 26 Paragraph 4 stated that non-formal education units consist of course institutions, training institutions, study groups, community learning centres, and assemblies, and similar educational units (Indonesia, 2003). The course is derived from English, which is a course that literally means a subject or series of lessons (Wjs, 2006). Meanwhile, according to Artasasmita (Artasasmita, 1985) the course is as a course of learning activities that take place in the community carried out deliberately, organized, and systematically to provide certain subject matter to adults or adolescents in a relatively short time so that they gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes which can be utilized to develop from and society. Examples: sewing courses, computer courses, and beauty courses.
The course is a training institution that is included in the type of non-formal education. The course is a teaching-learning activity just like a school. The difference is that the course is usually held in a short time and only to learn one skill. For example, a three-month English course, a mechanic's course, a cooking course, a sewing course, and a music course. Participants who have taken the course well can obtain a certificate or certificate. For certain skills, such as beauty courses or hairdressers, course participants are required to take a state exam. The State Examination is intended to oversee the quality of the courses concerned, so that the lessons given meet the requirements and participants have skills in their fields. Conceptually, the course is defined as a process of learning about knowledge or skills that are held in a short time by an institution oriented towards the needs of the community and the business / industrial world. Whereas Non-formal Education Institutions are educational institutions that provide non-formal education for the community, both initiated by the government and the community. Development of an activity carried out effectively, efficiently, continuously to obtain more results. So that Course and Institutional Development is a formation of PNF courses and institutions through the PNF learning and institutional management process so that it is able to produce quality, competent and competitive graduates in the global market arena.
Traditionally, the method is interpreted to convey learning material. In its development, the method is meant more than just conveying learning material, but includes the ways taken by a teacher, facilitator, tutor, or instructor to facilitate students or students' learning objectives. This includes procedures or steps for the activities carried out by the teacher / instructor or students / student targets to achieve learning objectives. These learning activities can include flexible spatial planning, seating, grouping of learning citizens, activities on educational radio broadcasts, activities in writing in magazines and newspapers, field trips, interviews with community leaders, observations to certain places or events and so on. Usually large-scale activities are called methods, the small ones are called techniques and sometimes people just equate the two as methods.
Learning methods of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) or commonly referred to as communicative learning methods. This method includes several language skills, namely reading, listening, conversation and grammar (Richards, 2005). Thus the aim of teaching language is to develop what is called for by Hymes as a communicative competence, namely the ability to use language for various purposes and in various situations and conditions (Hymes, 1972). Thus, the use of language is not only limited to four language skills, but includes several abilities within a broad communication framework, according to the role and participants of the situation, and the purpose of interaction. Furthermore, hopefully the communicative language teaching method was highly effective to achieve the goals of teaching English, such as teaching students to acquire vocabularies, grammatical understanding, and good pronunciation (Suryanto, 2019).
According to Ihat Hatimah (Hatimah, 2000), the position of the method in learning has scope for; 1) provide encouragement, which is a way to use learning resources to provide encouragement to learning participants to continue to want to learn, 2) bring up and increase interest in learning, which is a way to foster stimulation for the growth of students' learning interest based on their needs, 3) deliver learning material , namely how to use learning resources in conveying material in learning activities, 4) creating a conducive learning climate, which is a way to create a pleasant learning atmosphere for participants to learn to learn, 5) triggering energy to present the learning participants creativity in accordance with their potential, 6 ) encourages self-assessment in the process and learning outcomes, i.e. how to find out the success of learning, and 7) encourages to overcome the weaknesses of learning outcomes, i.e. how to find solutions to problems encountered in learning activities.
The purpose of teaching language with communicative methods is to develop student competencies in communicating by developing student competencies in communicating with target languages in real communicative contexts or in real life situations (social context) (Fachrurrozi & Mahyuddin, 2010). Communicative abilities require the ability to use language that suits a particular social context. To be able to have such abilities, students need knowledge of the forms, meanings and functions of language. They need to know that many forms of language can be used for one function, and also that a form of language can often be used for various functions. They must be able to choose from many forms of language, which are the most appropriate to use, understand the social context and the roles of the people involved in communication. They must also be able to manage the process of negotiating meaning with their interlocutors.
Communication emphasizes more on the social aspect, namely efforts to make things belong together or known together or with other statements, that seen from the origin of the word in the sense that initially communication focused more on social activities and processes (Susanto, 1974). Communication is everywhere, in homes, campuses, offices, and mosques; even he is able to touch all aspects of our lives (Rakhmat, 2001). This means that almost all human the CLT learning method in improving the participants' English communication skills.
