description: The research was conducted based on the problem faced by the first year students  of SMAN 8 Bandar Lampung. Most students in SMAN 8 Bandar Lampung at first  year still could not achieve the curriculum target because of their low speaking  ability especially in pronunciation, fluency and comprehensibility. Their low  speaking ability is caused by the inappropriateness of teaching technique used by  the teacher. The researcher conducted research to find out if Role-Play can  improve students’ speaking ability in terms of pronunciation, fluency and  comprehensibility and improve the teacher’s teaching performance in teaching  speaking. The research was conducted at SMAN 8 Bandar Lampung. The subject  was the students of class X.2 in the academic year of 2009/2010.  This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists  of four steps: planning, action, observation and interpretation, and analysis and  reflection. The researcher used indicators which covered learning product and  learning process. To gain the data of the learning product and learning process,  the researcher used speaking test and observation sheets for students’ activities  and teacher’s teaching performance as the instruments.  The result of the learning product shows that role play technique improves the  students’ speaking ability in each component. In cycle 1, 21 students (65.63%)  reach score ≥ 65, while in cycle 2, 30 students (93.75) reach score ≥ 65. In cycle  1, the pronunciation average score is 65, meanwhile in the second cycle, the  pronunciation average score is 71. For fluency average score in the first cycle is  66, and in the second cycle, the average score is 72. And the last for  comprehensibility average score in the first cycle is 67, and in the second cycle,  the average score is 74. In other words, there is an improvement of students’  average score from cycle one to cycle two.  Meanwhile, for the learning process, that is, the students’ learning activities, only  12 students (37.5%) conduct 75% of the activities in cycle 1, but 30 students  (93.75) conduct 75% of the activities in cycle 2 especially on responding to the  topic enthusiastically (pre-activity), answering the teacher’s questions (whileactivity). In addition, for the teacher’ teaching performance, the teacher scored 70  in cycle 1, then he scored 80 in cycle 2 especially on teaching and learning  process which is suitable with the competence. This means he is able to teach the  students well by implementing role play technique in the speaking class.  In short it can be concluded that Role Play can improve students’ activities and  teacher’s performance in teaching speaking.
