Abstract

Speaking ability is the most important thing to facilitate effective communication. To improve students' speaking competence, the application of scientific approach methods can be used. This study aims to explore the scientific approach in improving junior high school students' speaking ability in learning English. Through interviews with several EFL teachers, this study identified various strategies used in teaching speaking, including strategy variations, relaxation, preparation, and conversation experiments. The results showed that strategy variations, such as making vlogs and discussion films, increased student engagement and built their confidence. Relaxation strategies helped reduce student anxiety, creating a supportive learning environment. Preparation before learning encouraged students to dare to speak, while conversation experiments encouraged critical thinking and collaboration. In addition, this study identified three factors that influenced the use of the scientific approach: logical thinking skills, the ability to observe, collect, and organize data, and the ability to formulate and test hypotheses. These findings indicate that the development of students' speaking skills depends not only on language proficiency, but also on critical and collaborative thinking skills. By implementing the right strategies and creating a supportive learning environment, it is expected that students can improve their English speaking skills significantly. This research contributes to the development of English language teaching methods that are more effective and relevant to the needs of students in the modern era.
