Meanwhile, in the experimental class there were fluency, comprehensibility and followed by accuracy in the last. Then, there were also differences in students? motivation in speaking after being taught by D3 with women?s language features and D3 original. However, the students in experimental increased their motivation higher than those in the control class. Lastly, there was correlation between students? motivation and their speaking skill in the experimental class.
