From the result of the research, the researcher found that the students in experimental class got better result than those in control class. This can be seen from the data showed that t test (t0) is 3.17, while t table (tt) is 2.00, in other words t test > t table. This means that there is significant effect of Kim’s memory game in teaching speaking. So the hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted.
