SKRIPSI THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CHAIN STORY AS LEARNING STRATEGY IN TEACHING SPEAKING NARRATIVE TEXT SKILL FOR ELEVENTH GRADERS AT SMA N 1 MUNTILAN
This study was motivated by the challenges faced by students in speaking, such as a lack of confidence due to fear of making mistakes and limited opportunities to practice speaking consistently in class. Therefore, this study aims to (1) determine whether there is a significant difference in narrative text speaking skills between eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Muntilan who are taught using the Chain Story and those who are taught using Picture Cued, and (2) to determine the effectiveness of the Chain Story in teaching narrative text speaking skills. This study used a quasi-experimental design (Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design). The study sample consisted of grade XI G students as the experimental group and grade XI I students as the control group. Data were collected through pretest and posttest. The data were analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test to test the hypothesis and N-Gain to measure effectiveness. The results of statistical analysis show a significant difference in the improvement of narrative text speaking skills between the two groups. The Sig. (2-tailed) value is -0.001, which is smaller than 0.005, indicating that the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. The increase in the average score of the experimental class (taught with Chain Story) was 12.47 points (from 63.44 to 75.91), much higher than the control group (taught with Picture Cued), which only increased by 7.88 points (from 63.81 to 71.69). Furthermore, the N-Gain score of 0.3474 for the experimental group classified it in the moderate effectiveness category, while the control group was in the low effectiveness category. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the Chain Story was more effective than the Picture Cued in teaching narrative text speaking skills to eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Muntilan. This strategy succeeded in creating a lowpressure learning environment, breaking down the speaking task into smaller contributions, and significantly increasing students' confidence in speaking.
