The objectives of the research are to find out whether Paired Story Telling can increase the student’s ability in narrative writing text. This research employed a quasi experimental method. The population of this research was the students at cokroaminoto palopo university in the academic year 2017/2018. It used cluster random sampling, taking two classes totalling 72 students. It involved two groups, namely experimental class and control class. The instruments of this research were pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The results of this research indicated that there was significant difference between the experimental class and control class. It can be indicated from the result of t-test and t-table. In experimental class, the result of t-test was greater than t-table (3,49>1,666914). Before doing treatment the students in experimental class get mean score 51,18. Then after giving treatment, the students get mean score 67,71. But it is different in control class. Before doing treatment, the students in control class get mean score 53,33. Then after giving treatment, the mean score was only 62,02. Thus, it is concluded that the Paired Story Telling technique enhances the students’ writing ability.
