Speaking is a challenging skill for EFL learners to master. This is so because, to become proficient English speakers, students must learn vocabulary and pronunciation in conversation. Students also need to have ideas for speaking out they can use their lived experiences. This study aims to investigate how they use of lived experience stories helps improve students' English speaking. This study Hypothesis that using student life experiences improve their English speaking ability. I conducted experimental research on sixty students of SMP Negeri 1 Naman Teran, divided into two classes thirty student in the control class and thirty in the experimental class. The data was collected directly in test. This study revealed that the average speaking score of students in the experimental class was 80, higher than that the control class, 73. This research also analyzed the significant differences between the control class and the experimental class, (0.000) less than 0.05.
