Speech skill is one of the complex linguistic skills. It requires an authentic environment for the language, as well as the speaker’s understanding of its rules theoretically and practically. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of the direct method for improving speaking skills in the Arruhana Primary School, Setu, Bekasi. It was conducted on 28 students at fifth class of primary school. The type of research is classroom research. The analysis used was that of action research by Kemmis and Mc Taggart, which consists of four stages: planning, implementation, observation and reflection.

The research result showed that the average score of students who mastered the speaking skill before work was 60.18%. This rate in the first cycle reached 69.46%, and in the second cycle it reached 80.18%.
