To find the preliminary data through observation, researcher need six students from 23 students of class XI IPA 1 MAN 1 Konawe. To analyze the data, this study uses test normality to gain the result from Paired sample test (t-test) formula. The result that is calculated from SPSS V.26 shows that tcount is bigger than t-table (13.122 > 1.717). The calculation proves the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. It means that there was significant improvement in students’ speaking skill after using Storytelling in their English class of XI IPA 1 MAN 1 Konawe. This study implies that students really need not just material but also technique which can facilitate them in understanding the subject and mastering it.
