PBLT is an approach using philosophical questions to spark the discussion in the classroom in order to increase the students’ ability in speaking. This research employed an experimental study. The sampling used in this research was clustering random sampling with two classes as samples, namely experimental class taught using PBLT approach and control class taught using 3P approach. To collect the data, there were two instruments used in this research namely speaking test and risk-taking questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using 2x2 Multifactor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test. The result of the research shows that: (1) PBLT approach is more effective than 3P approach to teach speaking and (2) students having high risktaking have better speaking skill than those having low risk-taking. It means that the use of PBLT approach is effective to teach speaking.References
