iii ABSTRACT In teaching a language, applying suitable method plays an important role in the success of the lesson. Using stories for educational purposes is an effective teaching strategy especially for teaching young learners. This study aimed at investigating the use of storytelling technique in teaching speaking at IALC - an English Center from teachers‟ perception and the difficulties they face. The researcher used qualitative and quantitative research which used survey questionnaire, interview and observation as instruments. The study findings showed that teachers have vague understanding about the storytelling technique and infrequent use of this technique in their teaching. In addition, all of them say that this technique has many benefits to students and it can make students happy and easy to understand the lessons. Finally, all of the teachers find that this technique is difficult to use, needs time and places to be applied and causes noise. It is recommended that teachers need further training on the use of this technique because it is an important and effective technique to get students memorize the lesson and it also attracts students' attention, and it improves their prediction skills.
