This action research studied the effectiveness of using 'most names' to enhance the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMPN 1 Geger Madiun during the 2012/2013 academic year. Findings indicated significant improvements in students' speaking abilities, participation, interest, and motivation after implementation, suggesting that this method encourages more interactive and creative communication in English. The study recommends incorporating 'most names' into teaching practices to further develop students' speaking competencies.

ABSTRACT
The research was done in August 2012 in SMPN 1 Geger Madiun. The subject of
the study was the eight year students consisting of 20 students. It was a classroom action
research. The researcher conducted the research in some steps for each cycle. There were
planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. In collecting data, there were two kinds of data
which were used in this study, the quantitative data and the qualitative data. The
quantitative data were in the forms of students‟ scores. The data were students‟ scores
from the beginning of the research to the end of the research. They came from the tests
given. The qualitative data were collected by the following techniques: observations,
interviews, and document analysis. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics. It compares the score of the pretest to the score of the post test. The qualitative
data were analyzed by using analyzed into data reduction, data display and conclusion
drawing/ verification.
The research findings showed that by implementing the “Most Names” in the
speaking class, there were some improvements which can be classified into three main
points as follows: The improvement of students‟ speaking skill; The improvement of
students‟ participation; The improvement of students‟ interest; And the improvement of
students‟ motivation. For that reason, “Most Names” was able to stimulate students to
speak English.
In conclusion, “Most Names” is able to improve students‟ speaking skill in class
VIII/A. However, “Most Names” has its own strength and weaknesses. Most Names
stimulated students to be more active, interactive, and creative to speak English.
In short, it is recommended to the teachers to use “Most Names” to improve the
students‟ speaking skill in English.

I. INTRODUCTION
Speaking is one of the four skills
which have been taught at school besides
listening, reading, and writing, and all of
them are taught integrated. They cannot
be separated because all of the language
skills are used to communicate with other
people. Bailey and Savage (in Murcia,
2001: 103) state that speaking in a second
language or foreign language has often
been viewed as the most demanding of
