This study was aimed to investigate the outcomes of implementing picture strip story technique in narrative speaking and discover students' responses toward the implementation of picture strip story technique itself. The participants of this study were 32 students of one class in junior high school in Bandung. One group pre-test post-test was implemented as a research design. The data were collected by using two instruments; speaking assessment namely pre-test (before treatment) and post-test (after treatment) and students' interview.
