Mathematical communication skills are the ability to identify and write everyday problems into mathematical language. One way to improve mathematical communication skills is to apply Moodle-assisted CTL learning. This study is written to analyze and evaluate mathematical communication skills improvement of the students taught by moodle-assisted CTL learning model. The research design used is experimental research with Pre-Experimental Design. The samples of this research are students of class VIII A at SMP Negeri 22 Semarang. The research data is obtained using a mathematical communication ability test. The data analysis in this study are; (1) Right Side Proportion Test; (2) Average difference Test; (3) N-Gain Test. The results of data analysis in this study are interpreted as follows: (1) students' mathematical communication skills in Moodle-assisted CTL learning are classically complete (Z_count>Z_table; 1.66 > 1.64); (2) mathematical communication skills in CTL learning assisted by Moodle have completed the minimum completeness criteria (t_count>t_table; 5.55 > 1.72); (3) there is an average increase in students' mathematical communication skills between before being given Moodle-assisted CTL learning and after Moodle-assisted CTL learning with N-Gain of 0.57. So we can conclude that students' mathematical communication skills have improved during the application of the moodle-assisted model, and we can suggest that the moodle-assisted CTL learning model can be used to improve mathematical communication skills.
