Abstract

This study aims at determining what are the underpinning aspects of the successful participant in the national story telling competition participant of junior high level in 2014 as well as the background of the emergence of these underpinning aspects and benefits of the aspect itself. It is hoped this research can also have a positive impact on the reader as a reference so that the next story telling competition can help the deficiencies of the participants and be able to develop the potential that has been owned by the participants in order to win a storytelling competition in the future. Therefore, the population of this study is the national story telling competition participant of junior high level in 2014 as well as the teacher. Samples were taken from the participants who made it into the top ten. Data were obtained through questionnaire to determine the aspects which support their success as well as in-depth interviews of the teacher. The results obtained show that there are five aspects that underpin the success of participants namely cognitive, creativity, infrastructure facilities, support and motivation aspects. The top ten participants highly own those aspects by using almost all the time to communicate in English in their daily lives. Moreover, none of them who bring the story by memorizing the text but they understand the story and the flow of the story as well. The height of creativity they proved by telling the story with their own style and improvise more without changing the idea of the story. Moreover, the ideas of stories they bring in the competition emerged from the participants. Similarly to aspects of infrastructure and support facilities, they get the costume and property as well as the full support of the school, teachers, families and government. Their motivation was not material but performance, and they always accept the challenge as a positive thing and not easily satisfied with what they have accomplished. Evaluation criteria such as communication, expression and creativity as well as environmental factors which also support the participants are found as the winning background. In fact, the appearance of those aspects is the benefits that can bolster their success more superior than other participant who are already loose. Thus, it can be concluded that by having those aspects, participants are able to know their lack in order to reach the victory. Therefore, it is hoped that this study can be socialized to all participants as well as observers so this study can be a reference to develop and find new potentials dealing with story telling competition.
