The study focuses on how interactive storytelling relates to learners’ everyday home and school activities, using 22 Indonesian junior high EFL learners. Classroom Action Research was conducted in two cycles across six meetings per cycle. Results show speaking performance increasing from 17 (72.27%) passing in Cycle 1 to 22 (100%) in Cycle 2, while classroom activities rise from 8 (36.36%) very active and 14 (63.64%) active to 18 (81.82%) very active and 4 (18.18%) active.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/improving-the-efl-learners-speaking-ability-through-interactive-storytelling-research-article/600729/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/improving-the-efl-learners-speaking-ability-through-interactive-storytelling-research-article/600729.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"dhado","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",5,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What was the aim of the study?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The study aimed to improve EFL learners’ speaking ability and their classroom activities by implementing an Interactive Storytelling Strategy.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How was the research conducted?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"A Classroom Action Research design was carried out in two cycles with six meetings per cycle, focusing on learners’ interactivity and communicative ability.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What results were achieved in Cycle 2?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Learners’ speaking ability increased to 22 out of 22 (100%) passing the success criteria, and classroom activities also improved to a higher proportion of very active learners.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},600729,1792421318,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,88,92,95,99,104,109,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":85,"show_sort_weight":86,"slug":87},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":89,"show_sort_weight":90,"slug":91},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},70,"exam",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":100,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":105,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":55,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":131},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":33,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":117,"language":139,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":143,"read_time":102},5909893218464,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_085a072bc5b1113ac321206ff7593b45","DINAMIKA ILMU  \nVol. 16 No. 1, 2016 P-ISSN: 1411-3031; E-ISSN: 2442-9651  \nImproving the EFL Learners’ Speaking Ability through  \nInteractive Storytelling  \nMarzuki  \nState University of Malang, Indonesia  \nSMPN 17 Kep.

The subject consisted of 22 of Junior High of Indonesian EFL learners. A Classroom Action Research in two cycles had been conducted within 6 meetings for every cycle. The meetings were focused on the interactivity and communicative ability among learners. The research result showed that the learners’ speaking ability improved from 17 or 72,27% passed in Cycle 1 to 22 or 100% passed the criteria of success in Cycle 2. It also showed that their classroom activities improved from 8 or 36,36% who were very active (VA) and 14 or 63,64% who were active (A) to 18 or 81,82% were very active (VA) and 4 or 18,18% were active (A) . In conclusion, the implementation of Interactive Storytelling Strategy increased the EFL learners’speaking ability and their classroom activities.  \nKeywords: Interactive Storytelling, classroom activities, speaking performance.  \nA. Introduction  \nIn recent years, applied researchers have become increasingly interested in improving learners’ communicative competence in English language teaching and learning. Therefore, many researchers take learners’ speaking involvements as their research as well as to find a strategy how to improve the learners’ speaking ability, such as that of Shahini & Riazi (2011) and Farida & Sofwan (2012) . Consequently, this view has been receiving a considerable support widely. For example, Koşar & Bedir (2014) explains that learners’ speaking ability is an important skill to be improved to make the learners conduct communication directly. In the same vein, Razmjoo & Ardekani (2011) reveals that the teacher’s effort in proposing learners to articulate their ideas and opinions are highly expected. Therefore, communicative ability becomes an important goal in the teaching and learning process (Boonkit, 2010) .  \nLearners, in the same way, want to be proficient in speaking skill. Many of them try to focus on their speaking rather than other skills. Numerous numbers of language learners have been emphasizing their attention in mastering speaking competence (Richard & Renandya, 2002) . This is in line with Graham (2007) who explains that most learners believe that the important goal in learning English is how to be able to sustain the flow of conversation orally. By mastering this skill, learners can actively get involved in the run of conversation as well as reciprocating the information with others (Rohmah, 2012) .  \nThe necessity of developing proficiency in speaking as proposed by Richard & Renandya (2002) and Graham (2007) above must bring many advantages to the English learning process, especially in speaking skill. However, some classroom instructions suffer from limitation of the learners’ communicative interaction. Some research projects in Indonesian EFL learners, such as that of conducted by Efrizal (2012) and Akhyak & Indramawan (2013) found different circumstances. Those research projects display some conditions that the EFL learners’ speaking skill is still unsatisfactory. Many learners, in learning process, were unmotivated in bearing their speaking in classroom activities.
