Oral presentation is one of the most challenging skills. EFL students face many problems in their presentation, such as: cannot speak English well, lack of vocabulary, difficult to develop idea, nervous, cannot memorize, and lack of preparation. One of key successful presentations is the interaction between presenter and audience. Based on previous studies, group discussion can help students build interaction with others.

Thus, making different with the previous studies, the researcher applied small group discussion in speaking class especially in presentation skill. This study investigated the significant effect of small group discussion toward students’ presentation skill of hortatory exposition text. The design of the study was quasi experiment.

The research finding showed that there was difference between experiment group who were taught by small group discussion method and control group who were taught by peer discussion. It is proven by the result of sig.(2tailed) is 0.039 and 0.038. The sig.(2tailed) is lower than 0.05 but it closer to 0.05. So, the null hypothesis can be rejected.
