This experimental research was conducted at the tenth grade of MAN 1 Ponorogo in the academic year of 2015/2016. From ten classes, the researcher took two classes as the sample, namely experimental class which was taught by using Communicative Game and control class which was taught by using 4/32/ technique.

 There are some research findings which can be taken: (1) The students who are taught by using communicative game have better achievement in speaking fluency than the students who are taught by using 4/3/2 technique; (2) The students who are taught by using communicative game have better improvement in speaking fluency than the students who are taught by using 4/3/2 technique; and (3) The students who are taught by using communicative game have better learning interest than the students who are taught by using 4/3/2 technique; and (4) The students who are taught by using communicative game act more actively to participate in the class than the students who are taught by using 4/3/2 technique.
Based on the results of this research, it implies that Communicative game is one of teaching method that is considered as effective method to be applied in speaking class.
