Peran Bimbingan Konseling Dalam Menumbuhkan Motivasi Berbicara Di Depan Umum Pada Remaja

Abstrak

Guidance and counseling play an important role in fostering motivation for public speaking among adolescents. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to examine how interventions through various counseling techniques such as group discussions, speaking simulations, and self-talk can help adolescents overcome anxiety, manage negative thoughts, and enhance self-confidence. An integrated public speaking training method, which includes practical exercises and constructive feedback, has proven effective in improving both technical and psychological speaking skills. Support from the school environment, counselors, and peers is a key factor in the success of these interventions. The results indicate that a systematic and continuous counseling program can strengthen internal motivation and courage for adolescents to confidently perform in various public communication situations.
