  • This paper is an attempt to sketch the effectiveness of guessing game technique towards the improvement of the students’ speaking skills. Data were collected from 25 tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Palopo who were selected randomly. Data collected through speaking test were analyzed quantitatively. The result of data analysis shows that there are significant differences before and after giving the treatment. The mean score in the pre-test is 41.80 and in the post-test is 62.00. Moreover it can be seen by comparing the result of the t-test where p-value is smaller than significant level (α) (0.00 < 0.05). Therefore, H_0 is rejected and H_1 is accepted. Based on the result, the researchers conclude that guessing game technique is effective in improving students’ speaking skill at SMAN 1 Palopo.
