Abstract

The background of this research derives from students’ low speaking performance, which was reflected in their limited vocabulary, lack of fluency, and low confidence when expressing opinions. This study employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design, involving two classes: the control class (X1) and the experimental class (X2). The experimental class received treatment through the use of TED-Ed Videos for four meetings, while the control class was taught using conventional teaching methods.

The research instrument was a speaking test administered during the pre- test and post-test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the speaking skills of students in the experimental class. This is evidenced by the increase in the mean score from 58.61 in the pre-test to 80.28 in the post-test. Meanwhile, the control class showed a lower improvement, with a post-test mean score of 68.61. The results of the independent sample t-test indicated a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, demonstrating a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of both classes.

Based on these results, it can be concluded that TED-Ed Videos are effective instructional media for teaching English speaking skills. This media helps improve students’ fluency, vocabulary mastery, pronunciation clarity, and confidence in speaking. Moreover, TED-Ed Videos create a more engaging and interactive learning atmosphere, encouraging students to participate more actively in speaking activities. Therefore, TED-Ed Videos can serve as an alternative teaching strategy to enhance students’ speaking abilities at the senior high school level.
