The results of data analysis showed that the five fingers retelling technique succeeded in developing the students' speaking skill because there was a significant difference between the post-test scores of students in experimental group and control group. The five finger retelling technique was very effective to improve the students' speaking skill. Overall the students' perceptions toward the implementation of five fingers retelling technique were positive because they enjoyed the learning process and they were interested in the story retelling.
