Speaking is a productive skill that has role as a bridge between people who want to share their arguments, opinion, to the others. The student’s speaking abilty of EFL class is depend on the effectiveness of the teaching method. Hence, English teacher need to be serious in choosing teaching method that appropriate for teaching speaking. The aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the use of direct method in teaching speaking for the tenth grade students of SMAN 7 Kediri. The design of this research was quasi-experimental. The population was the students of class X in SMAN 7 Kediri. The samples were two classes that named experimental and control group. The experimental group was class X MIPA 3 that consists of 32 students, meanwhile the control group was class X MIPA 2 that consists of 29 students. The researcher used tests as the instrument of the research. The format of the test is oral test. In analyzing data, the researcher used Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) by SPSS Program 24.0 version. The data of this research is normally distributed. It is proven by the KolmogorovSmirnov test that the significant value (p) of tests are .162 for pre-test of the experimental group, .119 for pre-test of the control group, .136 for post-test of the experimental group, and .129 for post-test of the control group (p>α 0.05). The homogeneity variances test shows that (p) is .650 (p>α 0.05). The homogeneity regression (slope) shows that (p) is .159 (p>α 0.05). The relationship between covariate and dependent variable is linear at 0.000 (p<α 0.05). Then, the result of ANCOVA shows that (p) was 0.000 (p<α 0.05). It is enough evidence to reject H0 and accept Ha. It can be concluded that Diret Method is effective in teaching speaking.
