Abstract

The objective of this research was to find out whether there is a positive and significant influence of ELSA Speak application on students’ speaking ability at the seventh grade of SMP N 4 Metro.

This research applied quantitative research with the quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of seventh-grade students of SMP N 4 Metro. The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental class taught using the ELSA Speak application and a control class taught through conventional methods. The instruments used to collect the data were speaking tests and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test through SPSS because the data were not normally distributed.

The result of hypothesis testing showed that the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000, which was lower than the significance level of 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It means that there is a positive and significant influence of using the ELSA Speak application on the students’ speaking ability. The experimental class also achieved a higher mean score compared to the control class, indicating better improvement in pronunciation accuracy, fluency, and confidence.
