To achieved the purpose, a test including pre-test and post- test was employed. The test was in the form of speaking test which was retelling the story that had been heard. Normalized Gain Test was used to found out the significant difference between students’ scores in pre-test and post-test. The data from pre-test and post-test showed that the average of the students’ achievement in pre-test was 11.19 and the average of students’ achievement in post-test was 56.19 and the result from Normalized Gain showed that 99.9% students can improve their speaking through the use of Elicitation technique. To analyze the data, the t-test was used and it was revealed that the value of tobserved=8.0494 and the value of tcritical=2.0317. The finding showed that tobserved was bigger than tcritical (8.0494 > 2.0317). The tobserved lied in the rejection area of Null Hypothesis (H0). On the contrary, Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Based on the result of study, it can be concluded that Elicitation technique have significant effect in improving students’ speaking skill and the use of Elicitation technique made students easier in presenting their ideas.
