Abstract
Speaking skill is one of the essential language competencies that should be developed among elementary school students. Preliminary observations conducted in Grade V of SDN 1 Trembulrejo revealed that students' speaking skills were still relatively low. This study aimed to improve students' speaking skills through the use of serial picture media in Indonesian language learning. The research employed a Classroom Action Research design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which was conducted in two cycles. The participants consisted of 19 fifth-grade students of SDN 1 Trembulrejo, Blora Regency. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by comparing the percentage of learning mastery and the average speaking skill achievement across each cycle. The findings indicated a gradual improvement in students' speaking skills. Classical mastery increased from 52.63% in the pre-cycle stage, with an average score of 66.00, to 68.42% in Cycle I, with an average score of 72.40. After improvements were implemented in Cycle II, classical mastery increased to 84.21%, with an average score of 79.20. The use of serial picture media helped students develop ideas, enrich vocabulary, build confidence in speaking, and present stories more coherently. These findings suggest that serial picture media is effective in improving elementary school students’ speaking skills.
