The total sample size was 64 students drawn from two classes, XI Accounting 1 (experimental class) and XI Accounting 2 (control class), using cluster random sampling. The experimental class played tic-tac-toe, while the control class played role-playing games. The data were gathered using pre-and post-tests. The instrument consisted of oral test instruction for the pre-test and post-test, with topics covering asking and giving opinions. To analyze the data, the independent t-test formula from the SPSS 26 version was used in statistical computations. The t-test results reveal a significant impact of the Tic Tac Toe game on students' speaking ability. The generated Sig.

This suggests that the use of the Tic Tac Toe game can significantly enhance the speaking abilities of second-grade students at SMK N 7 Bandar Lampung. These findings have practical implications for language educators, providing a promising tool to improve students' speaking skills]]>
