This study used a quantitative method with a quasi experimental study design. This study was held on October until December 2013.

The data found indicated that there was a significance difference between students in experimental class and controlled class. The result of t-test formula in 5% degree of significance shown that tobserved (t0) > ttable (tt) = 7.05 > 1.99. So, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that, there was a significant difference between students using NPRM and those who did not. The students who were taught by NPRM can attain better speaking score than the students who were only taught by memorizing text while speaking.
