The research was a Research and Experimental Development (R&D), which was conducted by conducting two tests: pre-test and post-test. A Pre-test was given before implementing story “Malin Kundang” while post-test was given after implementing story “ Putri Betung”. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this study. Data were analyzed using t-tests. After the data had been collected using the test, it was found that the pre-test average was 50,43 while the post-test was 78,14. There was a 15% improvement in the pre-test value. Thus, the authors concluded that there were improvements in the speaking skills of students through the storytelling technique. This can also be proved by comparing the result t observation (2,077) with t table (2,030) for alpha = 5%. This means that the hypothesis was supported.]]>
