Abstract

This research is motivated by the low speaking skills of second grade elementary school students. This is due to the lack of opportunities for students to speak. The teacher still uses the method of lecturing so that learning is still passive. The alternative solution chosen to overcome this problem is to apply the storytelling method. The purpose of this study was to describe the application of the storytelling method to improve the speaking skills of second grade elementary school students. The subject of the research was 17 class II students at SDN CR. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) model Kemmis and Taggart. Data collection instruments used are observation sheets, tests, field notes, and documentation. This study has two types of data, namely qualitative data and quantitative data. The findings of this study indicate that the application of the method of storytelling can improve the speaking skills of second grade elementary school students. This is evidenced by an increase in every aspect of assessment of students' speaking skills
