The objective of this research is to find out whether there is an effect of paired storytelling to the students’ ability in speaking or not at second grade at SMAN 5 Bengkulu Selatan. This was a quasi-experiment. The population of this research was the the second year students of SMA Negeri 5 Bengkulu Selatan which consisted of 210 students. The sample of this research was the XI IPA 1 (37 students) as the experimental group and the XI IPA 2 (37 students) as the control group. Those represent the population. The treatment was given only for the experimental class. The pre-test was given to the two groups before giving the treatment. The result was t-count in the pre-test was smaller than t-table ((1.09 <1.98). This indicated that the groups were equal ability. For the post-test, in contrast, the t-count was greater than t-table (6.23 > 1.980). this indicated that the paired storytelling technique could give a positive effect to the students’ ability in speaking skill.
