Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII SMP N 3 Banjar. Berdasarkan teknik pengambilan sampel secara acak, 2 kelas diambil sebagai sampel dari penelitian ini. Kelas-kelas tersebut ditentukan sebagai kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol berdasarkan undian. Untuk memperoleh data yang diperlukan, dua kelompok tersebut diberikan perlakuan. Kelompok eksperimen diajarkan menggunakan puppet, sedangkan kelompok kontrol diajarkan menggunakan konvensional teknik (Three-phase teknik). Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengumpulkan data adalah skenario pembelajaran dan post-test yang berbentuk tes berbicara.
