One of the obligated English materials studied by all students of Indonesian universities is speaking English because English is one of the international languages used to communicate in the world. Moreover, many work fields offered from abroad to Indonesian scholars obligate them to speak English well. Having capability to speak English well is not an easy task. There are some factors influencing the ability of speaking. One of the factors is creativity. Therefore, this research is concerned on investigating the influence of students’ creativity to create sentences toward their speaking skill. This article only discusses one of the three objectives of this quasi experimental research. It is whether or not the students having high creativity have high speaking skill. The data of this research consisted of the scores of creativity test and speaking test. The data of speaking scores were categorized into two, scores of the students having high and low creativity. After those data were normal and homogeneous, then, analyzed using F-test ANOVA. The difference between rows is significant because Fo between rows (1125.64) is higher than Ft (4.11) at the level of significance α= 0.05. The mean score of B1 (78.9) is higher than that of B2 (60.85), it can be said that the speaking skill of students having high creativity is higher than those having low creativity. Thus, it can be concluded that students’ creativity influences their speaking skill.Keywords: Influence; Students’ Creativity; Speaking Skill

The results of monitoring the nutritional status of children under five years (toddler) at the Puskesmas Sigambal Rantau Selatan Sub-District, Labuhanbatu District short prevalence is still high at 15.31% and very short 10.15% in 2017. The study aims to analyze the relationship of nutrition conscious family behavior with incidence of toddler stunting and nutrition awareness family program evaluation.

Data were analyzed univariate, bivariate and multivariate using multiple logistic regression tests. Qualitative data are data reduction, presentation and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the consumption of various foods (0,000) was related to the incidence of toddler stunting and as a dominant factor. Weighing variables, iodized salt consumption, exclusive breastfeeding and nutritional supplements (vitamin A) are not related. The interview found that the evaluation of the nutrition awareness family program was not yet supported by the availability of health workers, cadre assistants, funds and infrastructure, as well as cross-sectoral implementation. Program indicators were not reached because they did not specialize in the nutrition awareness family program. It is recommended that the Public Health Office establish a special program for Nutrition Awareness Families, increase cross-sector collaboration and add cadre assistants to promote the importance of nutrition for the community.
