A Thesis, State Islamic Institute (IAIN) Bukittinggi, 2022 The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of using picture series on students' speaking skill. I had done at MTSs Nagari Binjai. This research was carried out because the students had some problem in speaking English. It is caused by several factors for instant most of them paid less attention to the English teacher. On the other hand they were afraid of making mistake when asking to express ideas, they did not have enough confidence to speak. In addition, the teacher did not use any media in the classroom during the teaching and learning process. In this research a quasi-experimental design was used by the researcher. The researcher used pre-test and post-test to experimental and control class. The population of this research was the second grade students of MTSs Nagari Binjai. The sample was 2A as experimental class and taught by using picture series and 2B as control class and taught without using picture series. To determine the sample, the experimental and control class. The researcher utilized SPSS 20 to examine the data and check for normality and homogeneity. The researcher utilized the t-test formula to test the hypothesis and consulted the results in a t-table with level of significance of 0.05 From the result and accounting the pre-test and post-test score experiment class, it was found that there was a significant effect of using picture series toward students speaking skill. It was proven by the value t-calculated of experimental class in pre-test and post-test was higher than t-table (4, 38 > 2.021). Then there was a significant difference between students who were taught using picture series and those who were taught without them. The value of t-calculated in the post-test from the experimental and control classes was greater than the t-table (3, 4 > 2.021). The last hypothesis was that teaching with picture series was superior than teaching without picture series in terms of improving students' speaking skill. In the post-test, the mean score of the experimental class was greater than the control class (8, 10 > 2,54)
