The objectives of this research were to find out the influences of communicative activities towards students’ speaking performance of the third year students of SMP Negeri 4 Banda Aceh and to investigate the benefits and challenges of the use of communicative activities in the classroom. The design of this research is a pre-experimental study.

The quantitative data were collected from pre-test, post-test and the questionnaire. The data collected through tests were analyzed through comparing the mean scores from the pre and post test and t-test analysis. The findings indicate that the mean score of post-test is higher than pre-test (79>71). To assume the significance of the improvement t-test was applied. The findings showed that t-score is higher than t-table (14,42>1,679). It means that the hypothesis of this research (Ha) is approved while (Ho) is rejected. In other words, there is an improvement of students’ speaking performance. The improvements were achieved gradually which covered some aspects, such as pronunciation, fluency, accuracy, vocabulary, self-confidence and cooperation.
