Speaking is one of the important skills in English. It is one of the language skills beside listening, reading, and writing that must be mastered by English learners. This paper explains one of the strategies that can be used to improve the speaking skill of junior high school students. The strategy is using a graffiti board. Graffiti board is a medium used by the teacher as a place for students to record their thought about a particular concept as they engage in a series of experiences related to the text. In this paper the writer discusses how to implement the teaching by using graffiti board  to teach speaking skill. This strategy must consider a good planning, preparation of the material, and teaching activity. They are three teaching activities: pre-teaching activity, whilst teaching activity, and post-teaching activity.
