last treatment was implemented on November 1
st
2013 at 9.00-10.30 a.m.. The students in that time learnt about the story entitled The Little Indian Boy.
There were three steps in giving treatment with storytelling. The first was preparation. In this step, the researcher began preparing the students to speak by
giving them the picture series with storyline or script in it that would be discussed. Then she did modelling and reinforcing. In this step the researcher introduced a
model of storytelling performance. Next, the researcher discussed how to tell a story fluently and attractively. In the second step, constructing, the researcher
asked the students to seat in groups of four or five. The researcher then asked the groups to practice retelling the story among them based on their own version.
After that, she asked the students to perform their story in front of the class voluntarily. It seemed that was not all groups could perform the storytelling due to
the limitation of the time. In the last step, closing, the students eventually had many difficulties in pronouncing some words correctly and expressing the story
confidently during the individual performance. She motivated the students to be more confident and correct their mispronunciations.
