The researchers found that two problems faced by the students at SMK Negeri 1 Bener Meriah.

The researcher focused on fluency, accuracy, and clarity in teaching speaking in the classroom by using the communicative language teaching (CLT) approach rather than using the grammar-translation method (GTM). The research method applied in this research was experimental quantitative research because the researchers want to know the cause and effect of two variables.
