Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effect of the Roundtable Technique on students’ learning outcomes in writing descriptive text of grade ten at SMA Negeri 4 Sigi. A quantitative methodology was employed, incorporating a quasi-experimental design featuring pre-test and post-test control groups.  The population comprised tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Sigi, with samples chosen via cluster random sampling.  Class X A served as the experimental group, instructed through the Roundtable Technique, whilst Class X C functioned as the control group, getting traditional instruction.  Writing evaluations were administered prior to and subsequent to the intervention.  The mean pre-test score for Class X A was 33.33, whereas Class X C achieved a score of 40.21.  Following treatment, the experimental group's mean score rose to 80.42, while the control group's score attained 59.26.  The calculated t-counted was 6.03, exceeding the t-table of 2.02, signifying a statistically significant difference.  The results indicate that the Roundtable Technique had a significant effect on students’ learning outcomes in descriptive writing.  It encouraged students to be more engaged, collaborative, and confidents in developing ideas, using vocabulary, and applying grammar. The technique is recommended to enhance students’ skills in writing descriptive texts.

Abstract

Speaking skills are one aspect that needs to be develop in context of language learning. However, there are still many students who have difficulty in mastering this skill, because of the lack of knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, cause a lack of confidence in students when they want to speak English. This study investigates the effectiveness of the storytelling technique in enhancing the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu. Addressing the urgent need for engaging and student-centered strategies to improve oral proficiency, this research offers empirical evidence on the value of storytelling in English language learning. A quasi-experimental method was employed using pre-test and post-test procedures in both experimental and control groups. Thirty students were selected through convenience sampling, with fifteen assigned to each group. The experimental group received six sessions of storytelling-based instruction, while the control group learned through conventional methods. Findings reveal a substantial improvement in the experimental group, which achieved a post-test mean score of 69.33, compared to 44.67 in the control group. The novelty of this study lies in demonstrating storytelling as an effective instructional technique within the Indonesian Islamic junior high school context. The results contribute to pedagogical practices by supporting storytelling as a practical approach to improving students’ speaking skills.
