The value of the t-test is 3.16 while the value of the t-table is 2.262. It means that the value of the t-test was higher than the value of the t-table. Based on the research, the researcher concluded that the implementation of the Circumlocution Strategy can increase the students’ speaking achievement, particularly for second-grade students of SMPN 27 Makassar.
