Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi teknik Inside–Outside Circle (IOC) dalam pembelajaran keterampilan berbicara serta mengidentifikasi tantangan yang dihadapi guru selama penerapan teknik tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus kualitatif dan dilaksanakan di SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh. Subjek penelitian ini adalah seorang guru bahasa Inggris, sedangkan siswa dilibatkan sebagai partisipan dalam proses pembelajaran. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas menggunakan lembar observasi dan wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan guru. Data dianalisis melalui tahapan kondensasi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teknik Inside–Outside Circle (IOC) diterapkan secara terstruktur melalui pemberian instruksi yang jelas, pemilihan topik yang berkaitan dengan penyampaian pendapat, serta rotasi pasangan berbicara secara sistematis. Hasil observasi juga menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar siswa terlibat aktif dan termotivasi selama kegiatan pembelajaran. Namun demikian, penelitian ini juga mengidentifikasi beberapa tantangan, yaitu keterbatasan ruang kelas, manajemen waktu, pengelolaan kelas, serta variasi tingkat partisipasi siswa. Tantangan-tantangan tersebut diatasi melalui penyesuaian pengaturan ruang kelas, penggunaan penanda waktu yang jelas, serta pemberian dukungan pembelajaran secara berkelanjutan oleh guru. Dengan demikian, teknik Inside–Outside Circle (IOC) dapat dianggap sebagai metode yang efektif dan praktis untuk mendorong partisipasi aktif serta meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara siswa dalam konteks pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (English as a Foreign Language), khususnya apabila didukung oleh persiapan yang matang dan pengelolaan kelas yang efektif.

Wildanum Mukhalladun. (2026). An Analysis of a Teacher’s Implementation of the Inside-Outside Circle Technique in Teaching Speaking at SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh . [Undergraduate Thesis. Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Under the supervision Prof. Dr. Sofyan, M.A and Chairina, S.Pd., M.A. This descriptive qualitative research is aimed to describe the implementation of the Inside–Outside Circle (IOC) technique in teaching speaking and to identify the challenges faced by the teacher during the implementation. The research employed a qualitative case study design and was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh. The subject of the study was one English teacher, while the students were involved as participants in the learning process. Data were collected through classroom observation using an observation checklist and a semi-structured interview with the teacher. The data were analyzed using the steps of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Inside-Outside Circle (IOC) technique was implemented in a structured manner through clear instructions, topic selection related to giving opinions, and systematic rotation of speaking partners. The observation results showed that most students were engaged and motivated during the activity. However, several challenges were identified, including limited classroom space, time management, classroom management and variation in student participation levels. These challenges were addressed through classroom arrangement adjustments, clear time signals, and continuous instructional support from the teacher. In conclusion, the Inside–Outside Circle (IOC) technique can be considered an effective and practical method for encouraging active participation and improving students’ speaking skills in the EFL classroom, particularly when supported by proper preparation and effective classroom management.
