The research was about improving student’s speaking skill by using drilling and
dialogue practicing through role play. The implementation of the strategies used topic material, about “two return tickets”. English drilling implementation strategies include students imitating, repeating, and focusing on accuracy related to the material. Through those strategies, most of the students still got low grades. Some students felt that English was not interesting and even boring. This research was conducted at class IV C of SD AL- Azhar 61 Summarecon Serpong, consisted of 31 students. This study aimed to analyze the teacher’s strategies in teaching speaking and to describe the teacher’s implementation of each strategy in teaching speaking.
