The objective of this research was to improve the speaking skills of Grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 2 Godean through pictures. This research was classified as an action research. It was conducted in two cycles, which was held for four meetings in the first cycle and two meetings in the second cycle. The subjects of this research were 32 students of class VIII C of SMP Negeri 2 Godean. The data were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained through observations and interviews with the students, the English teacher, and the collaborators. The data were in the forms of field notes and interview transcripts. While the quantitative data were obtained from tests (pre-test and post-test) and questionnaires. The validity of the research was obtained by adopting four criteria of validity namely democratic validity, process validity, outcome validity, and dialogic validity. In addition, this research applied some triangulation techniques, such as time triangulation, investigator triangulation and data triangulation. The actions implemented in this research were using pictures in the teaching and learning process of speaking, implementing picture-based activities, giving feedback to students’ performances, accustoming students to opening dictionaries, giving handouts as daily materials, and giving rewards the active students. The results of the research showed that the implementation of pictures in the teaching and learning process of speaking was believed to be effective to improve the students’ speaking skills.
