Key words Inside-Outside Circle guided questions speaking ability The study was intended to describe how Inside-Outside Circle technique through guided questions can improve the speaking ability of the second graders of SMPN 1 Gending Probolinggo. The study was classroom action research in which the researcher and one of English teachers as the collaborator worked together to conduct the research. The researcher acted as the teacher and the collaborator observed the activities during the teaching and learning process which implemented Inside-Outside Circle technique through guided questions. This study was conducted in two cycles using the following procedures planning implementing observing and reflecting. The first cycle consisted of four meetings while the second cycle consisted of three meetings. The data of the study were gathered through the following instruments observation sheets field notes and questionnaire. The subject of the study were 30 students of IIE of SMPN 1 Gending Probolinggo. The findings showed that the appropriate procedure of Inside-Outside Circle technique through guided questions to improve the students speaking ability includes the following steps (1) brainstorming the students (2) showing a picture of someone (3) modeling of how to describe people orally (4) explaining IOC procedure (5) distributing guided question cards (6) grouping the students into inside and outside circle groups (7) asking the students to implement IOC technique (8) grouping the students into high and low performance groups (9) drilling the students on speaking components for the low performance group (10) drilling the students on speaking components for the high performance group and (11) drilling the students on speaking components for both the low and high performance groups and (12) assigning the students to have oral performance to describe people The findings also showed that Inside-Outside Circle technique through guided questions was successful in improving the students speaking ability.
