toward the students speaking skill of the eighth grade of State Junior
High School 26 of Purworejo in the academic year 2012/2013 Since it
was found that the result of t-value is 2.89. Based on the 0.05
significance level, the value of t-table is 1.99. The computation shows
that t-value is higher than t-table that is 2.89>1.99.
Keywords: the effectiveness, Think Pair Share, speaking skill
