The students, most of the time, face difficulties in learning English, especially in mastering speaking skill. One of the most common problems faced in the teaching and learning process for speaking skill is the lack of motivation and students tend to use their first language. As the developing of technology, the teacher is required to involve digital teaching, especially related to the use of computer. Employing computer or Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in the teaching and learning process is highly recommended for a fun and exciting learning. In this particular case, englishch-hilfen.de serves as answer for those seeking such learning process. A qualitative study was involved to identify how the use of englishch-hilfen.de can improve and give significant effect for students’ English performance, especially for speaking and vocabulary aspect.

INTRODUCTION
Speaking is the process of building and sharing meaning through the use of verbal and non-verbal symbols, in a variety of contexts (Chaney, 1998). Yet, Huebner (1960) argued that speaking is a skill used by someone in daily life communication whether at school or outside. He added, language is essentially speech, and speech is basically communication by sounds. The skill is acquired by much repetition; it primarily a neuromuscular and not an intellectual process. It consists of competence in sending and receiving messages. From those explanations, we can conclude that speaking is an activity that used expressions to deliver ideas, opinions and feelings to others by using words and sounds of articulation in order to inform, to persuade or to entertain someone. Richard (2008) proposes three functions of speaking, in which these functions are the expanded version of the Brown and Yule's framework, they are: (1) talk as interaction, which cover the aspect of interacting with others in conversation of daily life, (2) talk as transaction, which cover the aspect of getting certain information through conversation, and (3) talk as performance, which cover the aspect of how to give or present our opinions, thoughts, or ideas in public or in front of other people.
One of the ways to overcome the problem in the aspect of speaking skill complexity is by using Computer-Assisted Language Learning. According to Levy (1997), Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning. The main aim of CALL is to find ways for using computers for the purpose of teaching and learning the language. More specifically, CALL is the use of computer technologies that promote educational learning, including word processing, presentation packages, guided drill and practice, tutor, simulation, problem solving, games, multimedia CD-ROM, and internet applications such as e-mail, chat and the World Wide Web (WWW) for language learning purposes. Here the use of Englisch-hilfen.de is as Computer as Tutor. As I have explained before that this website is a complete package to learn English. It shows you brief explanation about material like grammar and vocabulary, because this website is focus on them and it also complete with the exercises and the students don't need to get worried about their answer whether their answer is right or wrong because this website provide checker and the right answer so the students the can learnt by themselves.
The use of the website brings some advantages such as below. a. It is very useful to teach grammar and vocabulary This site is more focus on Grammar and Vocabulary. We can find complete knowledge about grammar and vocabulary for the beginner until advance level. b. It loads faster This website does not take much memory (kb) to proceed.

The theories are presented clearly in a table The theories are presented in a brief yet clearly in the form of table that consist of explanations, formula, examples, word choices and many other features that we can find both in the theory of Vocabulary and Grammar. Therefore, as it was explained, mastering English, especially speaking skill, can be said to be one of the most complex activity to be done. Not only it covers some micro skills in regards to the language component, but also the macro one related to the aspect of meaning and intention of the speaking itself. That is why, in this particular case, such a technique involving Computer-Assisted Language Learning in the form media is urgently needed. One of the media that can be used is englishch-hilden.fe to help and assist the students to have better understanding in English subject.

It means that the main focus is to describe what happens and what something is about. It more concern on the aspect of what rather than how and why something occurs and happens (Gall, Gall, & Borg, 2007). The data were collected by using documentation focusing on the primary data, related to the platform used or englishch-hilfen.de itself, and the secondary data related to other sources in form of books, journal articles, or any relevant sources to the subject investigated.

Role-play as the Teaching Method
Role-playing is defined as participation in simulated social situations that are intended to throw light upon the role/rule contexts governing real life social episodes (Cohen, Manion and Morrison, 2007). In defining role play, Byrne (1986) gave comments that role play is a part of drama activity. In details, he described that there are three terms to cover the drama activities. They are mime (mimicry-memorization), role play and simulation. Further, he distinguished the terms as follows: 1. Mime, the participants perform actions without using words (although as we shall see, this activity leads naturally on to talk). 2. Role play, the participant interact either as themselves in imaginary situations.
3. Simulation, this involves role play as defined above. However, for this activity the participants normally discuss a problem of some kind with some setting that has been defined for them. Both role play and simulation are commonly used in foreign language classes to facilitate communicative competence. Whereas mime seems more appropriate as a language game. It is performing actions without using words. For instance, if someone mimes and action, the others try to guess what it is.
He also mentioned some beneficial of using role play such as follows.
1. It's fun and motivating Students will be more motivated and eager to participate if we present them with a realistic situation that might encounter in daily lives. Using realistic situations gets students to practice essential vocabulary and phrases in such a way they will be better able to retain what they learn.

It's all in the details
Role play are opportunity for students to produce natural, semi-spontaneous speech. When setting up a role play, we should give enough information about the situation to evoke the vocabulary you are targeting, but it should leave enough to the imagination to allow the students to construct their speech on the spot. 3. Build self-confidence Why students are reluctant to speak? When they are standing in front of their friends alone. They will get nervous, confuse what they have to say, get worried about the diction, pronunciation and etc. But if they have partner so they will get their quiet and they will express themselves like what they want.

Develop listening skill
Good role-playing requires good listening skills. In addition to understanding the words the other person is saying, it's important to pay attention to body language and non-verbal clues. Better to have your team develop these skills while role-playing than when they're trying to perform in the real world. 5. Improving communication between one students to the others and solve a problem When we give them a chance to make a note when they are planning, of course it will force them to communicate each other or to be cooperative. Solve problem means if the teacher gives them a topic what they have to act in front of the class, what situation will raise in the dialogue and what they have to say so they must discuss it with their pair or group.
