Abstract :
his study is to know the significance influence of DIGS technique on
students? speaking ability between Control Group and Experimental Group. This

experimental design. The data was collected from pre-test and post-test as the
instrument. After getting the data, the researcher analyzed the data by using
Independent sample T-t in SPSS 15.0 program.
The research finding showed that there was significance difference
between students who were taught by using DIGS and students who were taught
by using repetition drill. The researcher found that the probability value of both
groups was 0,000, it was less than the level of significance 0,05 (0,000 < 0,05). It
showed that DIGS could significantly influence students speaking ability. It
proved that the technique could be effective and influence students? speaking
ability.
The last, the researcher suggests to English teachers that this study can
support teaching speaking using DIGS technique as an alternative technique and
