The total number of samples was 38 students of two classes consisting of class II G was experimental class and II C was the control class. There was speaking test as the instrument. The statistical result analysis of SPSS 25 showed that in accuracy sig 2-tailed = 0.000 is less than 0.05 and in fluency sig 2-tailed = 0.000 is less than 0.05.
