The population of this study consisted of 259 tenth grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Palembang in Academic Year of 2016/2017. There were 40 students taken as sample. Each group consisted of 20 students as experimental group and 20 students from class as control group.

The instrument used in collecting the data was oral test in the form of presentation. The test was administrated twice as the pretest and posttest for both experimental and control group. The results of the test were analyzed by using IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) Statistics 21. The result showed that “there was means significant difference from students posttest score in experimental and control group, it was found the p-ouput (Sig.2-tailed) was lower than 0.05 level and t-obtained (9.823) is higher than t-table (2.024). So, the Ho (the null hypothesis) was rejected and Ha (the alternative hypothesis) was accepted.
