There are three objectives of the research were to describe: (1) To describe the implementation of story completion in teaching speaking. (2)  To describe the improvement of speaking skill for students after being given story completion. (3) To describe the students’ response to the implementation of story completion. Descriptive qualitative was applied as the method of the research while the observation was conducted to obtain the data to answer the first research about how are the implementation of story completion.
