Medan, the total number of the students was 39 students. The research was carried
out in two cycles with three meetings in each cycle. There were two kinds of data
collected during the research, quantitative and qualitative data. The instruments for
collecting the quantitative data were spoken tests, while for qualitative data, gathered
through observation sheet, interview, questionnaire, and diary notes. Based on the
data analyses, the mean of the students™ score in the orientation test was 53.9, in
Cycle I was 65.09, and in Cycle II was 75.34. Based on the mean scores, it can be
concluded that the students™ speaking achievement in oral descriptive text by using
