The researcher used experimental research. The result of the research shows that hypothesis that of t-test of both sample t- test with 5% significance level found t table 1.66 and with 1% significance level found t table 2,38. So, the result is t t is 5% < t o, or t o > t t 1%. It is mean that t o (t observasion ) is higher that t t (t table). To know whether it is significance or not we have to look at the t table in appendix. The result of t t on significant 5% = 1,66 and 1% = 2,38. It indicates that t o > t t or 3,89 > 1,66 and 3,89 >2,38 so the null hypothesis (H o ) are rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H a ) is accepted. It means there is significant influence of using flip chart to improve student’s speaking skill at nine grade of MTsN 1 Kota Serang.
