SKRIPSI ENHANCING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILL THROUGH THE STORY COMPLETION TECHNIQUE AS REFLECTIVE PRACTICES IN TEACHING DESCRIPTIVE TEXT OF THE SEVENTH-GRADERS

---

Speaking skills play an important role in English learning, as they are the foundation for students to convey thoughts and ideas effectively. However, seventh-graders at the junior high school, especially those at SMPN 3 Magelang, still face challenges in expressing ideas orally, particularly when describing objects according to the descriptive text structure. Many students still hesitate to speak, fearing they will make mistakes and lack selfconfidence. To overcome these problems, the Story Completion technique is introduced as technique that stimulates students to speak spontaneously and creatively, while encouraging self- reflection in the learning process. The research was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 32 seventh-grade students (16 males and 16 females) in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through speaking tests and non-test instruments, including observations, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation.. The findings showed significant improvement in students’ speaking performance and motivation. The overall speaking score rose from 47.81% in the pre-cycle to 61.25% in Cycle I and 84.69% in Cycle II. Descriptive speaking test results also improved, increasing from 56% to 69.4% and then to 79.9% across the same phases. These results suggest that the Story Completion technique effectively enhanced both students’ speaking skills and engagement in English learning
