English has been taught by the teacher in Islamic Senior High School 2
Model Pekanbaru by some strategies to increase students’ speaking ability such as
the teacher taught students by giving explanation about the materials and then the
teacher asked the students questions and responded them respectively. Sometimes
the teacher used group discussion, and drama. But in fact, the students remained
unable to speak English well. To provide solution to these problems, the

the research was to find out whether there is significant difference on students’
speaking ability of students who are taught and not by using Barrier Games
Strategy. In the research, the type of the research was a quasi-experimental

know students’ speaking ability before taught by using barrier games strategy, and
then after taught by using barrier games strategy. The researcher gave posttest in
order to know students speaking ability after taught by using barrier games
strategy. The technique of data collecting was test. Test used was oral
presentation test in order to collect the data of students’ speaking ability at the
first year students of Islamic Senior High School 2 Model Pekanbaru. The
technique of data analysis used T-test formula in order to find out the difference
of students’ mean score between pretest and posttest by using SPSS 16th version.
The students’ score was compared with T-table considered with degree of
freedom (df). Based on the data analysis, the researcher found that there is
significant difference between students’ speaking ability of students who are
