The objective of this classroom action research was to overcome the problem faced by the teacher in carrying out teaching learning process of speaking, students’ low motivation to speak. The problems were that 1) low pronunciation ability 2) poor vocabulary items mastery 3) doubt and confusion about expressions usage.  This classroom action research applied Game Card Tournament to improve students’ motivation to speak. When students played Game Card Tournament, they not only played for fun but also practiced pronunciation, learned more about vocabulary and practiced speaking about occupation using acceptable expressions. Moreover video clips and power point presentation were also implemented to practice pronunciation, expressions and vocabulary. The motivation of students improved when they expressed their idea freely during playing the game.
