The objective(s) of this research was 1) to study the effectiveness of communicative activities of the second-year B.A.. students’ English speaking ability in the Faculty of Humanities, MCU, 2) to develop the student’s communicative activities used in the classroom in the Faculty of Humanities, MCU, 3) to evaluate the student’s communicative activities to develop English speaking ability by the second-year B.A., students’ English speaking ability at the Faculty of Humanities in MCU. This research design is a mixed method, namely a qualitative and quantitative study. The research tools are questionnaires and open-ended interviews. For the population, there are 72 persons from second-year B.A., students within the Faculty of Humanities at Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, selected by convenience sampling. The questionnaire for students’ perceptions and attitudes toward communicative activities was administered after the experiment. The SPSS analysis showed that students have mixed feelings about students’ speaking communicative activities. This study revealed a significant statistical difference between the student’s English speaking scores before and after learning through communicative activities. The findings also showed that learners had positive perceptions and attitudes towards the use of communicative activities. Students’ English speaking ability significantly improved at the 0.05 level after participating in communicative activities. The post-test scores (M=21.51) were higher than the pre-test scores (M=10.59). These results indicate the effectiveness of communicative activities on enhancing students’ English speaking ability. They had highly positive perceptions of communicative activities in the classroom (M=4.34). The suggestion was that researchers could compare the effectiveness of communicative activities in learning English speaking ability with other approaches such as task-based learning.
