This study sought to examine the effect of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy on the speaking performance of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 6 Seluma during the 2025/2026 academic year. The study utilized a quasi-experimental methodology featuring a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The sample comprised two groups: the experimental group with 28 students and the control group with 26 students. Data were gathered using speaking test conducted as pre-tests and post-tests. The findings indicated a notable enhancement in the experimental group, with the average score rising from 48.43 to 74.36. Simultaneously, the control group exhibited an increase from 47.08 to 49.38; however, the enhancement was less significant than that of the experimental group. Statistical analysis indicated a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), demonstrating that the Think-Pair-Share strategy significantly influenced students' speaking performance. Consequently, the Think-Pair-Share strategy shown efficacy in enhancing students' speaking performance.]]>
