<![CDATA[The declining quality of speaking skills among Indonesian junior high school students remains a persistent issue in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This study addresses the gap between curriculum expectations and students’ actual oral performance by examining how speaking instruction is integrated with other language skills. The research aims to describe the techniques and media used to teach speaking at MTs Ma’arif Wuluhan Jember. A qualitative approach was employed, using classroom observation, interviews, and documentation across three grade levels, with data analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings show that teachers integrate speaking into reading, listening, and writing activities through techniques such as reading aloud, repetition drills, question-and-answer, dialogue practice, storytelling, group discussion, role-play, and picture description. Media used include real objects, flashcards, tape recorders, and VCD players. The study concludes that integrative teaching, supported by appropriate media, enhances speaking effectiveness. Recommendations include ongoing teacher training and curriculum alignment to foster consistent oral practice.
