This study was quantitative research with one-group  pre-test and post-test design. The population of this study consisted of 50 eighth-grade  students from two classes, while the sample was selected using cluster random sampling,  comprising 25 students from class VIII B at SMPN 2 Tanjung Raja. They were collected  using a pre-test and a post-test of the speaking test. The data was then analyzed by running  a paired sample T-test to test the hypothesis. The result showed that there was a  statistically significant improvement in students’ post-test scores compared to the pre-test  scores. The students’ mean score in the pre-test was 8.22, and the mean score in the posttest increased to 12.08. That indicates that the students’ improvement was a gain of 3.86.  Besides, the statistical result computed through SPSS 26.00 revealed that there is  statistically significant improvement of students’ speaking skill with the number of  significance is <.000, which is lower than 0.05; this result confirms that the improvement  of the students is significant. Moreover, the result of the t-value (-11.086) is higher than  the t-table (±2.064), which means the H1 is accepted.
