Independent-samples t-test with an aplha level of 0.05 was used to investigate the significant difference between both groups. The analysis revealed that the experimental class outperformed the control class in speaking skill with t = 6.062, df= 68 and P = .005 and 95% confidence interval ranging from 13.033 to 25.824. The result of t-test shows the mean difference is 19.429 with sig. (2-tailed) value .000. The value indicates that the significant difference between two groups is found.
