Abstract

This study aims to improve students' speaking skills and reduce off-topic conversations in class VIII-C of SMP Negeri 27 Malang through structured discussion methods. The background of this study highlights the importance of effective communication in supporting students' intellectual, emotional, and social potential. The results of observations showed that students tend to be active in speaking but often deviate from the topic due to less interesting teaching methods, lack of opportunities to practice, and nervousness experienced by students. This study used a qualitative approach with the Kurt Lewin model in the form of Class Action Research (PTK), which included two cycles involving 27 students. The results showed an increase in the quality of students' speaking and a decrease in irrelevant conversations after the implementation of the structured discussion method. Feedback from the first cycle resulted in clearer learning strategies and increased group roles in discussions. This study concluded that the structured discussion method is effective in creating a conducive classroom atmosphere and improving students' communication skills.
