The result showed that there was an improvement in students’ speaking skill after being taught by using power teaching game technique (Pow-Tega). It could be seen from the increase of students’ mean score from pre-test to posttest, 42.13 to 59.38. Moreover, based on the result of paired sample t-test, t-result was -9.018, t-table was -2.040 (p < 0.05) and the significant value was 0,000 (p < 0.05). The result showed that the students who were taught by using power teaching game technique (Pow-Tega) had a better improvement in their speaking skill. In other words, power teaching game technique (Pow-Tega) is a good way to be used by the teachers as a teaching technique especially in improving students’ speaking skill.
