Abstract
This study investigates the effect of using short movies on students’ speaking skills in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). The research employs a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest method involving 32 students. The pretest is administered at the first meeting to identify students’ initial speaking ability, and the posttest is conducted after the treatment to measure improvement. The treatment consists of teaching speaking through short movies, where students watch and retell narrative stories. The data are analyzed using a Paired Sample t-test through SPSS. The findings reveal that the mean score increases from 44.56 in the pretest to 62.06 in the posttest, with a mean difference of 17.50 points. The statistical result shows that the obtained t-value (t = 13.020, df = 31) is significant at p < 0.001, indicating a statistically significant improvement. All speaking aspects, pronunciation, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and grammar, show improvement, with grammar and vocabulary achieving the highest gains. This finding is consistent with previous research reporting that short movies can improve students’ fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The studies highlight that visual storylines provide contextualized language input, which helps learners organize their ideas and speak more spontaneously. Therefore, it is recommended that EFL teachers use short movies combined with retelling and discussion activities to strengthen students’ speaking practice. In addition, future researchers are encouraged to use larger samples and include control groups to produce more generalizable results. Overall, the results support earlier findings showing that short movies enhance fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary development, and narrative organization. Thus, the study concludes that using short movies has a positive effect on students’ speaking skills and serves as an effective strategy for improving speaking ability in EFL classrooms. Keywords: narrative text, quantitative research, retelling stories, short movies, speaking achievement
