| Abstrak This study aims to investigate the effect of applying the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) technique on improving students’ speaking skills at SMAN 5 Palu. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group taught using TPS technique and control group taught through conventional methods. Data were obtained from pre-tests and post-tests analysed using the t-test formula. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ speaking performance after the implementation of the TPS technique. The mean score of the experimental group increased from 30.20 in the pre-test to 67.14 in the post-test, while the control group only improved slightly from 30.40 to 41.45. The calculated t-value (12.20) exceeded the t-table value (1.668), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Think-Pair-Share technique positively affects students’ speaking ability active participation, confidence, and collaborative during the learning process.
