Abstract

The purpose of this research is to enhance the English speaking skills of fifth-grade students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Daarul Abroor through the application of the Multiliteracy Learning Model. This study was conducted using a classroom action research approach and was carried out in two cycles. Data collection involved observations, speaking assessments, and questionnaires to explore the difficulties students encountered during the English learning process. In the first cycle, many students failed to meet the expected speaking performance. However, after adjustments and refinements in the second cycle, a majority of students showed marked improvement and succeeded in reaching the learning objectives. The results indicate that implementing the Multiliteracy Learning Model is an effective strategy to improve students’ speaking abilities and address learning barriers in English.
