N2  - This study is aimed at improving the speaking teaching and learning process by using problem-based learning method of grade XI students of MA Ali Maksum Yogyakarta.
This study was classroom action research. The subjects were 27 students. It was done in two cycles. Three techniques were used to collect the data, namely questionnaire, observation and test. The data from the observation and questionnaire were   analyzed   descriptively,   while   the   data   from   the   tests   were   analyzed quantitatively.
The  results  of  this  research  reveal  that  the  steps  of  speaking  classroom applying PBL are as follows. (1) The problems discussed were the real life problems based on the students? experience and knowledge. The problems were ill-structured,
interesting,  challenging  and  relevant  matters to  the  students? reality  since  those
aspects motivated and initiated the students to independently learn and search for
more knowledge. (2) The four classroom steps employed showed that PBL triggered the  students  to  learn  speaking  actively.  These  steps  consisted  of  meeting  the problems, exploring knowns and unknowns, generating possible solutions, and considering consequences and choosing the most viable solution. (3) PBL was effective in improving teaching and learning process of speaking. The students were confident to speak English and actively participate in group discussion to overcome problems. They presented  the results  of the  agreed  solutions  to  the  class  orally. During the teaching and learning process, they had many opportunities to practice speaking English. They were active to analyze and find the solution to the problems based on their knowledge in the real-life. (4) The students? speaking skill improved as well. It was proven by the increase of the results of pre-test, post-test one, and post- test two. The students? average score in the pre-test  was 65, while in post-test one was 71 and 82 in post-test two.
