×This research was conducted to know whether picture series can improve
students’ speaking skill. It also aimed at describing the classroom situation when
picture series was implemented in speaking class. The problems can be identified
as follows the students’ English speaking skill was still low, the students were
passive and reluctant to speak English, and there was a tendency of the students to
be afraid of making mistakes. Related to these problems, the researcher conducted
a classroom action research by using picture series in teaching learning process.
The method used in this research was a collaborative action research
method. The research was conducted in two cycles at the tenth grade of SMA
Negeri 6 Surakarta from January- April 2013. In collecting the data, the researcher
used observation, interview, photograph, and test (pre-test and post-test). The
technique of analyzing qualitative data used five steps by McKernan in Burns
(1999: 156- 160). Those were assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the
data, building interpretations, and reporting the outcomes. Meanwhile the
quantitative data were analyzed by comparing the mean scores of the pre-test and
post-test.
The research findings show that the use of picture series combined with
drilling technique and teacher’s explanation could improve the students’ speaking
skill in telling a story (narrative text) and the classroom situation of speaking
class. The research findings on speaking skill includes: 1) the use of picture series
enriched students’ vocabulary; 2) the use of picture series combined with drilling
technique stimulated students’ pronunciation; 3) the use of picture series in the
teacher’s explanation stimulated students’ understanding of grammar; 4) the use
of picture series improved students’ fluency. The improvement of classroom
situation includes: a) the class was more alive because the students participated
actively during the speaking class; b) the students were motivated to speak
English; c) the students paid good attention to the teacher’s explanation.
Key words: picture series, speaking skill.
