- The storytelling technique was used in this study to see if it could help overcome some of the difficulties the students had in mastering EFL speaking skills. This technique aims to improve the speaking skills of students in a real life situation. The objective of this study was to measure the students’ mastery after they practiced speaking through the storytelling technique. This study used experimental study methods with a sample which was divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The EG was taught by using the storytelling technique, while the CG was taught by using a conventional technique for teaching speaking. In collecting the data, tests and a questionnaire were used. The results showed that the speaking skills of the EG students, taught with the storytelling technique, improved much more and were significantly better than the improvement in the speaking skills of the CG students taught by using the conventional technique.
