experimental class form XI IPS 3 and twenty students as the controlled class from XI IPS 4.
The experimental class and the controlled class were taught with different technique in teaching speaking. The experimental class was taught using the
information gap activities, whereas the controlled class used conventional technique. In the experimental class, the writer asked every student in that class to share about
her or his information that they have gotten. They must share it to their friends who did not get the information. Then, the oral test score of each group can be seen in the
tables for data analysis as follow:

Based on the table 4.1, the highest score in experimental class was 86 obtained by one student whereas the lowest score in experimental class was 64 obtained by one
student. The differences score obtained between the highest score and the lowest
score which showed 12 for the highest score and 10 for the lowest score as the result in the gain score, it can be concluded that there was significant influence in teaching
