This study only used one experimental group as the sample. A pre-test and post-test were done. The sample was given treatment using Gallery Walk technique. Based on the interpretation if p value (Sig.) ≤ α (0.05) then HA is accepted and H0 is rejected and if p value (Sig.) ≥ α (0.05) then H0 is accepted and HA is rejected. After calculating the data, it was known that there is a significant difference in improving students’ interactive speaking achievement after using Gallery Walk technique.
