Abstract

Fitriyah, Sa’idatul, 2025 “Improving Students' Speaking Skills Through Storytelling Technique for the Fourth Graders at SDN Sumodikaran 1.” Skripsi, English Education Study Program, Faculty of Languange and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor Fitri Nurdianingsih, S.Pd., M.Pd. (II) Dr. Refi Ranto Rozak, M.Pd. Keywords: Speaking skills, Learning motivation, Storytelling Speaking skill is a crucial component in learning English, especially at the elementary school level. However, many students still struggle to express their ideas orally. This study aims to improve the speaking skills of fourth-grade students at SDN Sumodikaran 1 by implementing the storytelling technique. Several challenges were identified during the learning process, such as limited vocabulary, low self-confidence, and a lack of motivation. To address these issues, a Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted in two cycles. The data were collected through observation, interviews, oral tests, and student questionnaires. The results of the study indicate that the use of storytelling technique had a positive impact on students' speaking abilities. Students became more confident, actively engaged in the learning process, and were motivated to speak English. Storytelling activities allowed students to practice sentence structure, expand their vocabulary, and build their courage to speak in front of others.
