The aim of this study is to improve students' confidence in speaking (Speaking) through Simulation methods for grade 9.1 students at SMP Negeri 3 Pringsewu. This study is a collaborative action research (CAR) with two cycles. Researchers used questionnaires and observations which were then triangulated. The data analysis technique uses a comparative descriptive analysis. After being given treatment in cycle I and II there were 31 (86%) students who had high self-confidence, 3 (8.4%) students of the total number of students who had low self-confidence, and 2 (5.6%) students of the total who still had low self-confidence.
