Each class was categorized into two groups; students having high and low creativity. Techniques of collecting data were creativity test and speaking test. Data of the research were analyzed using Multifactor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Test of 2x2 and Tuckey Test. From the result of data analysis, it was discovered that: (1) Student Teams Achievement Division significantly differed from Presentation, Practice, Production with Fo > Ft and qo (between A1 and A2) > qt; (2) students having high creativity significantly differed in the speaking ability with Fo > Ft and qo (between B1 and B2) > qt ;and (3)there was an interaction between teaching methods and students ’ creativity in teaching speaking with Fo > Ft, and the result Tuckey Test showed that: (1) the use of STAD significantly differed to students having high creativity from PPP to teach speaking with qo (between A1B1 & A2B1) > qt; and (b) the use of PPP significantly differed to students having low creativity from STAD to teach speaking with qo (between A1B2 & A2B2) > qt. Based on the result of research, it can be concluded that STAD is more effective than PPP to teach speaking. The result of the research also showed that the students ’creativity affects the teaching methods in teaching speaking.
