This study used quantitative research using pre-experimental method with one group pre and posttest design. The study was conducted in SMP Advent II, Setia Budi, Bandung. The participants of this study were 30 students from the first year students at SMP Advent II Setia budi, Bandung as the sample and they were grade VII at SMP Advent II Setia Budi, Bandung. This study used one experimental group as the sample. A pre-test and post-test were done. The experimental group was given treatment (Oral Drill and Role-Play Method) . The data gathered was then statistically calculated and analysed. According to the interpretation, if p Value (Sig.) ≤ ߙ (0.05) then HA is accepted and H0 is rejected and If p Value (Sig.) ≥ ߙ(0.05) then H0 is accepted and HA is rejected. After calculating the data it was known that the p-value = 0.000 lesser than alpha 0.05. Result of the study showed that there is a significant difference in improving students’ interactive speaking achievement after using oral drills and role-play method. Keywords: Interactive Speaking, Oral Drills, Role-Play Method Introduction Interactive speaking is a process of conveying and sharing ideas (Hoge, 2014) . One of the most well-known spoken languages is English.

Moreover, students who do not develop strong oral skills during this time will find it difficult to communicate in English in the future.

People will value learners’ English level when they speak the language. To communicate orally in English, students should use correct words, structure and clear articulation (Nur, 2004) .

Interactive speaking is a face to face conversation through telephone calls or other two way communication (Dow & Ryan, 2000) . In which people alternately listen and speak. Rivers (2002) p.159 states that “interactive speaking skills are in the form of agreeing, disagreeing, asking for opinions, giving opinions, asking for clarification, giving clarification, attacking, answering an attack, suggesting courses of action, suggesting alternative course of action, reinforcing suggestions, asking for more exact information and giving more exact information.” On the other side, there are also partially interactive and noninteractive speaking often called one way communication which do not need a conversation between the peop
