Abstract
This study aimed at comparing the effect of different teaching strategies based on text
types on students’ speaking competency. Post-test Only Comparison Group Design was
applied as the research design. After the treatment sessions, post-test was administered to
discover the impact of the treatments. The data obtained from the post-test were analyzed by
using descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Through descriptive analysis, it was found
that the mean scores of the two samples for descriptive text were 71.63 and 73.96 and for
procedure text were 74.93 and 76.80. The difference between students’ speaking competency
who were taught using different teaching strategies was analyzed through two-way Anova.
Based on the result of the hypothesis testing, it was found that; there was a significant
difference between two teaching strategies on students’ speaking competency and there was
no interactional effect between two teaching strategies and the text types on students’ speaking
competency. These findings provide empirical evidence of the importance to determine
teaching strategies that suit the text types taught in speaking class.
