<![CDATA[Students' speaking skills in elementary schools remain low, largely due to the limited use of interactive learning media. This research aimed to develop, validate, analyze student responses to, and test the effectiveness of interactive PowerPoint (PPT) media integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) in improving elementary school students' reading interest and speaking skills. The study employed a developmental research method using the ADDIE model, encompassing analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases. The research subject was the interactive AI-powered PPT media, while the trial involved 27 second-grade elementary school students. Data collection relied on interviews, observations, and questionnaires, with instruments including observation guidelines, rating scale sheets, and questionnaires. Data analysis involved validity tests, descriptive analysis, and correlated t-tests. The findings revealed that the developed media had a high validity score of 3.95, and the material's validity was also high at 3.85. Furthermore, the students' practicality results were exceptionally high at 93.75%. Crucially, the effectiveness analysis indicated that this interactive media significantly enhanced students' reading interest and speaking skills. In conclusion, this research underscores that the development of interactive PowerPoint (PPT) media presents an innovative alternative for boosting students' reading interest and speaking proficiency. The study's implications recommend that educators leverage technology in teaching to improve students' reading comprehension and language abilities.]]>
