Abstract

One of the most important skills in learning English is speaking, although many junior high school students still struggle with speaking, especially when it comes to fluency, pronunciation, and grammar. Students are frequently inactive and reluctant to participate in speaking activities due to low self-confidence, a limited vocabulary, and a fear of making mistakes. Through the use of Small Group Discussion with Pictures, this study sought to enhance the speaking abilities of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Denpasar in the academic year 2025/2026. Classroom Action Research (CAR), which consists of preparation, action, observation, and reflection, was used in this study. 39 students served as the study's subjects. Speaking tests (pre-test, post-test I, and post-test II) and a questionnaire were used to gather the data. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking skills. The students’ improvement was from 54.71 (pre-test) to 65.97 (post-test I) and 77.98 (post-test II). Furthermore, 87.18% of the students reached the passing grade at the end of the second cycle. The questionnaire results showed positive responses toward the implementation of the strategy, particularly in increasing confidence, motivation, and participation in speaking activities. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that Small Group Discussion with Pictures is an effective strategy to improve students’ speaking skills. It is recommended that EFL teachers implement the strategy as an alternative technique in teaching speaking skills.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve the descriptive writing skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 2 Kuta Utara in the 2025/2026 academic year through the implementation of the clustering technique. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles and involved 38 students as the research participants. Data were collected through writing tests (pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2) and a questionnaire to examine students’ perceptions of the technique. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis by calculating mean scores and percentages, supported by classroom observations. The findings revealed a gradual improvement in students’ writing performance across the research cycles. The mean score of the pre-test in the pre-cycle was 57.36, indicating that students’ initial writing ability was relatively low. After the implementation of the clustering technique in Cycle I, the mean score increased to 63.89. A more significant improvement was observed in Cycle II, where the mean score reached 75.08, and 31 out of 38 students successfully achieved the minimum passing grade. Furthermore, the questionnaire results showed that the majority of students expressed positive perceptions toward the use of the clustering technique and reported increased motivation in writing descriptive paragraphs. These findings indicate that the clustering technique effectively supports students in generating ideas, organizing their thoughts, and developing descriptive texts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the clustering technique is an effective strategy for improving students’ descriptive writing skills and increasing their engagement in the writing learning process.
