    The present research with the topic" Turn-taking Strategy and the Speaking Skill" focused on analyzing how Turn-taking strategy impacted in the Speaking Skill. This research project was carried out with students of third semester of “Pedagogía de los Idiomas Nacionales y Extranjeros” major at Universidad Técnica de Ambato. To achieve that goal, bibliographic research and field research were applied. The methodologies that were applied in this research were qualitative and quantitative approaches. This research was experimental and the instrument was a standardized test. Also, the design of this investigation was quasi-experimental which provided evidence to prove the hypothesis. The researcher applied the pre-test to identify students' speaking skill. Next, the investigator applied three turn-taking strategies such as taking the turn, holding the turn and yielding the turn with different speaking texts. After that, a post-test was taken to detail how turn-taking strategy impacts in the speaking skill. This research project concluded that turn-taking strategy impacts in the speaking skill. Besides, to have a positive result, it was important that in turn-taking strategies specific speaking text must be selected because this strategy worked better grouping learners in pairs or groups, and it was useful to make an outline of how each strategy should be used and give examples, so that learners could guide by themselves and produce language.
