Abstract

Speaking is very important for EFL students especially in Indonesia. Unfortunately, many students are still having problem with speaking skill. The students are not able to speak English in the classroom because they are lack of spoken English practice. It is likely caused by ineffective teaching. Asking students to memorize the dialog and practicing them in front of the class make them not able to communicate in English in real life situation. Communicative Games is one technique that provides special features to improve speaking skill, namely: a. communicative competence that requires students to take part actively to speak with each other and involved them in real communication; b. equal chance, in which not only students with higher speaking skill, but also students with lower speaking skill can contribute in it, because usually only few students are active in the class and almost half the students stay quite; c. reducing anxiety, the condition that students are more confident to speak English because they do not feel that they are in the teaching and learning process and make a mistakes without having feeling of failure.
