Speaking in foreign language is a very complex task because the speaker has to understand the nature of what appears to be involved. Speaking ability is one of indicator to determine whether the students master English. As a consequence, the classroom loses its active atmosphere.

Elicitation means drawing out information, language, and ideas from the students. The research questions were: 1) how is students’ speaking achievement before being taught by using elicitation technique? 2) How is students’ speaking achievement after being taught by using elicitation technique? 3) Is there any significant difference before and after being taught by using elicitation technique?. Based on the research questions formulated above, the study aims to: 1) Investigate student’s speaking achievement before being taught by using elicitation technique. 2) Investigate students’ speaking achievement after being taught by using elicitation technique. 3) Investigate significant difference achievement before and after being taught by using elicitation technique. This research uses quasi experimental design. This design intents on revealing the causal relationship by using control group and experimental group and does not selects those groups randomly. This study used quasi experimental design in the form of nonrandomized control group, pretest-posttest design. This design does not permit random assignment of subject to the experimental and control group. The researcher determines to select two intacts group. The first group is given treatment, called experimental group and the other group is not be given a treatment, called control group. Then, both of two groups are given pretest to know the beginning condition that is there any differences between control group and experimental group. Based on research problem and hypothesis is proposed and also the result of data analysis and hypothesis testing, the result of the research gives conclusion to this research by Elicitation Technique in speaking ability of the students’ score achievement was significant increase.
