Abstract

Although studies on the use of picture strip stories have been prominent, exploring perceptions of EFL teachers remain under-research. To fill this gap, this study aims to explore EFL teachers’perceptions of using picture strip stories for teaching speaking skills. This study used qualitative research that collected the data through a semi-structured interview involving three purposively selected English teachers at Indonesian senior high schools in central Lombok, Indonesia. To analyze the data,this study used ATLAS. Ti 9 application with thematic analysis. The findings showed various perceptions of the teachers in using the picture strip stories in their English speaking classrooms, including their perceived ability to promote the students’ collaborative learning, accelerate their students’ speaking skill, and improve their students’ focus on learning. It was also perceived that the students’ vocabulary repertoire improved. Challenges encountered by the teachers when implementing the strategy were expounded as well. Limitations and recommendations for future studies on the use of Picture Strip Stories are discussed
