researchers provided pupils with interesting sequential 
pictures and rubrics that include vocabulary and grammar 
to use in creating their stories. These procedures gave 
pupils opportunities to practice and enhance speaking 
without fear knowing that there is a rubric that worked as a 
guide for them in narrating stories. Therefore, using picture 
narrating strategy helped pupils to improve their speaking 
skills. This result goes in line with (Asfa, 2010; Kano and 
Fardyansyah, 2015; Khamsiah, 2016) who confirmed that 
picture narrating strategy helps pupils to fluently narrate 
and describe the content of the pictures with motivation. 
Moreover, picture narrating strategy helped pupils to 
develop vocabulary and grammar since they had to use the 
provided rubric. As for the control group, the pupils did 
not use picture narrating strategy. Besides, their anxiety 
interfered with pupils desire to take part in speaking tasks. 
That is why their scores in the speaking test were not high 
as the experimental group.
The t-test was used in order to test the validity of the 
second hypothesis that states there is a statistically 
significant difference at the ≤ 0.05 level between the mean 
score of the experimental group on the pre- and post- 
administration of speaking test favoring the post 
administration scores. Table 4 reports the results.
