The researcher gave pre test before being taught by using Round Robin Brainstorming and gave post testafter  being taught by using Round Robin Brainstorming. The sample of the research is thirty three students from XI IPS 1. The sample got by using cluster random sampling.
The results of the experiment in pre test before being taught by using Round Robin Brainstorming are: the minimum score is 52, the maximum score is 72 and the mean of pre test is 59. Meanwhile the standard deviation is 5.1. It indicates that the speaking ability of the eleventh grade students of SMA 1 Mejobo Kudus in Academic Year 2011/2012 before being taught by using Round Robin Brainstorming is categorized as sufficient.The results of the experiment in post test after being taught by using Round Robin Brainstorming are: the minimum score is 56, the maximum score is 88 and the mean of post test is 70,1.
