This study was intended to know whether the use of exploring technique can improve students’ speaking skill at the first grade in SMAN 3KAIRATU (AMBON-MALUKU). This research employed quasi–experimental design with non-equivalent (pre-test and post-test) control group design. The experimental research was conducted at SMAN 3KAIRATU (AMBON-MALUKU).two classes were chosen during there search as experimental group and control group. This study using exploring technique for experimental group. Based on the result of the ANOVA table, it was observed that data from table it can be seen its howed that difference was .015 less than .05, it means that there was significance difference of the speaking scores between experimental group and control group. It indicated that there was enough evidence toreject the null hypothesis since the significant difference was less than .05. it can be concluded the alternative hypothesis (Ha) stated that there was a significantly improved students’ speaking skill in using exploring technique at the first grade in SMAN 3 KARIRATU-AMBON.The data obtained from the post-test score was computed IBM SPSS by using one-way ANOVA to compare the mean score of the post-testacross the two groups.
