%X Senior high school students are required to have capability of speaking. However, the majority of them have low capability of speaking. YouTube, one of media, is believed   to have facilitated students to actively involved in the teaching-learning process. The current study, therefore, was intended to explore i) the students' speaking ability after   the use of YouTube in the speaking class, ii) the difference of speaking aspects. The subjects of the research were 34 students of SMAN 1 Padang Cermin. The data were collected through the pre-test and the post-test. The results showed that YouTube could statistically improve the students' speaking ability with significant level, 0.05, particularly for the aspect of comprehension, but no statistically significant improvement occurred with the other four aspects of speaking. This suggests that YouTube could only facilitate students to improve the aspect of speaking, comprehension, other than that language aspects, fluency,   vocabulary, and grammar.
