Using quantitative methods with a quasi-experimental design, the study involved 428 students as the population. The sample was selected purposively, with XI MIPA 1 serving as the experimental group and XI MIPA 3 as the control group. The research instrument consisted of pre-tests and post-tests. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' speaking skills after implementing TBL, as the t-value (4.092) exceeded the t-critical value (1.996) at a significance level of 0.05 with <em>df</em>=67. The hypothesis was accepted, confirming that TBL is effective in enhancing students' speaking abilities. Thus, this strategy can be applied as a teaching approach to foster speaking skill development.</p> Feny Nur Adzani Mochtar Marhum Anjar Kusuma Dewi Muhammad Arid Copyright (c) 2024 Feny Nur Adzani , Mochtar Marhum, Anjar Kusuma Dewi, Muhammad Arid https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-11-18 2024-11-18 3 2 1 13 10.58989/plj.v3i2.41
