Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether or not teaching speaking skills utilizing videos of the Corona virus can improve students' speaking skills. The participants in this study were SMAN 1 Delima Grong-grong pupils in the tenth grade. In this study, X IPA 1 class served as the control group and X IPA 2 served as the experimental group. The researcher taught in an experimental group for eight meetings in order to collect the data. A set of oral test with pre-test and post-tests was employed as the tool to obtain the data for this study. It was intended to determine whether the students' mastery of speaking had improved before and after applying the Corona virus video. The mean post-test score for the experimental group was 39,33, whereas the mean post-test score for the control group was 24,3. Additionally, the experimental group's t-test result was 6,45, while the control group's was 5,6. As a result, the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. This indicates that the students' speaking abilities were greatly improved by the use of corona virus videos in the classroom.
