A Study on the Implementation of Story telling in Improving Students Speaking Skill

Abstract

This study makes a unique contribution to the field of language education by describing how the implementation of storytelling techniques enhances students' speaking skills. It also explains how students' speaking skills improve after the implementation of storytelling. The study uses a qualitative design that applies the Library Research Method. Data were collected from scientific papers on the implementation of storytelling in improving students' speaking skills between 2018 and 2023. Scientific papers were found in libraries and on the internet. Primary data were obtained from an e-book by Ellis, G., & Brewster, J. (2002), entitled "Tell it again!" Meanwhile, secondary data were obtained from six journal articles by Kaet (2023), Pratiwi (2023), Gonçalves (2019), Hardianti (2019), Tambunan (2018), and Megawati (2018), as well as a thesis by Sabila (2022). Through a comprehensive analysis of the seven studies presented above, it is evident that the use of storytelling techniques in teaching English significantly contributes to improving students' speaking skills. Despite using different approaches and activities, all of them show that the use of storytelling has a positive impact on students' ability to speak English.
