The data were analyzed from the field notes and interview transcripts during the research. To avoid subjective analysis, the triangulation procedure was carried out.

The research results showed that the interactive games were effective to improve the students’ speaking skills of grade XI CI of SMA N 2 Bantul in the academic year of 2010/ 2011. However, the game implemented in large groups of students was less effective since it was difficult to manage. The interactive games were also effective to improve the students’ motivation to learn and to speak in English. It was shown that the students seemed to be more enthusiastic and active in the teaching and learning process. The students were willing to answer teachers’ greeting and were willing to express their idea in English. They were not shy and afraid to answer teacher’s question in English. They felt free and fun to speak English with their friends due to the games given. They also showed improvement on their pronunciation. They could minimize their mistakes in mispronouncing some words and phrases.
