INTRODUCTION
commonly used by most people from many different countries around the world to
bridge communication. In line with Maxom (2009), who states that English as a
language that can give access of communication to the world. It makes English is

having a good capability of speaking, students will be able to get into discussion
during English instructional. They are able to express ideas, conduct daily
conversation, giving opinions, and any other activities which related to oral
performance of English. On one hand, Brown (2001), argues that having speaking
skill can be value to carry out the communication. It goes without saying, speaking

The first problem which appears related to speaking skill from the students
at SMAN 9, Kota Tangerang in academic year 2017/ 2018 is, most of students are
lack of vocabulary range. It causes students feel confused when they have to
expressing ideas and opinions orally. Second, most students are lack of grammatical
knowledge of English. This makes students feel afraid in making mistake during
the oral performance. Third, most students have difficulty in pronouncing the
English words. Fourth, the students are not really confident to perform English
communication. At last, the English teachers have not found the appropriate method
activities to use in speaking classroom. Based on Irwan (2016), retelling can give
benefits to support the oral performance as an opportunity for the students to present
or express their ideas. It means that, through the activity of retelling, students can
deliver and express ideas which support their capability in oral performance. In one
hand, Owocki (1999, cited from Gibson et al, 2013), also argues that retelling helps
students rethink the way in performing about a certain text orally that have been
the success of instructional, picture-series which one of the media that can support
achieve students’ achievement in speaking skill, retelling through picture series can
be highly value. According to Brown (2004), one of the most effective techniques
which can be used to support students’ speaking skill is by using visual pictures as
the teaching media. He states that, pictures-series are able to stimulate and guide
the students to conduct the oral performance. Besides, Baker (2001) argues that
picture will benefits for the students to get focus in learning into concrete steps
which guided by several series of visual pictures itself. It goes without saying,
From all of the statement above, it can be concluded that picture is the most
useful technique to speak orally as visual media and also it can get more interest to
the students to pay attention and make the learning process joyful and pleasant.
Then, it is support this study that retelling story through picture series may be able
to convince the students to speak. In fact, there are many teaching techniques that
can be used in speaking. One of them is retelling story through picture series.
