Key words the effectiveness strategic interaction approach teaching speaking. This study focuses on testing the effectiveness of strategic interaction approach in promoting speaking skill. The research applied was a quasi-experimental research. The subjects of the study as the experiment group were 29 students who were taught using strategic interaction approach. On the other hand 23 students were assigned to the control group and they were treated using role play technique a conventional technique in teaching speaking. A question was then raised Is there any difference in speaking skill between students who were taught using strategic interaction approach and those who were taught using role-play in their speaking class The pre-test indicated that the two groups experiment and control were in different levels. The mean score of the experiment class was 66.60 with 80 as the highest and 51 as the lowest score. The mean score of the control group was 71.78 with 54 as the lowest score and 86 as the highest score. To calculate the students ability in speaking from two different level classes of students a certain statistical calculation was needed. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to adjust the starting point by including pre-test scores as covariate. The assumptions of ANCOVA have been fulfilled. The independency of observations the normal distribution of dependent variable the homogeneity of variances the linear relationship between covariate and the dependent variable and the homogeneity of regression slopes have been met before the calculation. Post-test was assigned to the two groups to measure the progress of the study. The experimental group reached 74.43 of the average score indicating that it raised its mean score by 7.83. The highest score for this group was 85.5 and the lowest one was 62. On the other hand control group improved its mean score only 1.85 from 71.78 to 73.63. The highest score for this class was 87.5 while the lowest was 64. Two steps of ANCOVA were conducted to test the effectiveness of strategic interaction approach in promoting speaking skill. The first was testing the interaction between covariate and fixed factor and the second was the analysis of covariance. On the test between subject effects in the first step it shows Sig (.090) 945 (.05) which means that there was no interaction between strategic interaction approach and pre-test. In the second step it was found out that at 95% of confidence Sig (.007) 945 (.05) which means that there is a difference in speaking skill between students who were taught using strategic interaction approach and those who were taught using role play in their speaking class. From ANCOVA the effectiveness of strategic interaction approach was proved better than role play. Secondary data supported the successfulness of the research. The result of questionnaires as minor data indicated that 63.22% of the students and 83.33% of the teacher had enough positive attitudes in the experiment that helped the successfulness of the teaching and learning using strategic interaction approach. Meanwhile the observation checklist showed that the teacher taught correctly. In conclusion strategic interaction approach has been proved to be effective in promoting the students speaking skill especially in developing speaking fluency. Tests as primary data have shown that strategic interaction approach is more effective than role play in teaching speaking while the minor data also support the findings. For teachers intending to improve their students fluency in speaking may use strategic interaction approach in their speaking classes. The limitations of the study were about the short treatment time and the avoidance of using recording (audio or audio-video) as an instrument. For further research these limitations can be addressed.
