Abstract

This research aims to identify the improvement of students' speaking ability through the implementation of the Storytelling Method among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Padangsidimpuan. The study employed a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, involving a purposive sample of seven students from class XI-8 who underwent a multi-stage screening process including placement tests and interviews. Quantitative data were collected using pre-test and post-test speaking assessments, while qualitative insights were obtained via semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using the Paired Samples T-Test for numerical scores and Thematic Analysis for interview transcripts. The findings revealed a statistically significant enhancement in oral proficiency; the mean score rose from 62.28 in the pre-test to 77.71 in the post-test, reflecting an average gain of 15.43 points and a percentage increase of 24.77%. Qualitative analysis indicated that the storytelling approach successfully mitigated psychological barriers such as anxiety and low confidence. Consequently, the research concludes that the Storytelling Method is a highly effective pedagogical tool for improving students' speaking skills.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the specific types and frequency of linguistic errors found in the descriptive writing of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 4 Padangsidimpuan. Utilizing a Sequential Explanatory mixed-methods design, the study combined quantitative data mapping with qualitative in-depth analysis. The sample consisted of 33 students chosen via purposive sampling. Data collection involved a descriptive writing test and a Likert-scale questionnaire. Analysis revealed 284 total errors across five distinct categories: capitalization, spelling, punctuation, part of speech, and sentence structure. Capitalization errors were the most prevalent at 61.38%, followed by spelling (22.77%), comma errors (8.91%), and full stop errors (6.93%). While sentence structure errors were relatively infrequent (12.37%), the overall mean score from the questionnaire was 3.29, suggesting that students find using parts of speech moderately challenging. The study concludes that the primary hurdles for students are mechanical conventions rather than core grammatical rules. Consequently, the researcher suggests that English teachers should focus more on revising and editing phases during the writing process to improve accuracy.
