            Speaking English is very important for students because they can express themselves and being brave to state their own opinions. Good ability in speaking can measure a success of language learning. Speaking ability must be taught and applied in the class. In fact, in daily life someone does more in speaking that writing.

            In this research, the researcher used experimental research as a design of the research. The data were collected by recording the oral test of pre-test and post-test. Then, the researcher identified and analyzed based on statistic calculation for getting good result accurately, completely and systematically. The population of this research is the eleventh grade students of MTs Walisongo Kayen Pati in the academic year 2013/2014 and takes one class (VIII G) as a sample that consits of 36 students.
