<![CDATA[AbstractThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using the Elsa Speak application on improving students' speaking skill. This study used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test post-test approach. The population consisted of ninth grade students at MTs. Al-Hidayah Makassar in the 2022–2023 academic year. A cluster random sampling technique was used, and a sample of 31 students from Class IX was selected. Data were collected through speaking tests conducted before and after the Elsa Speak application treatment. The results showed a significant improvement in students' speaking scores, with the mean score increasing from 52.7 in the pre-test to 74.0 in the post-test. The standard deviation value was 14.0 for the pre-test and 11.6 for the post-test, indicating that the post-test standard deviation was smaller than the pre-test. Furthermore, statistical hypothesis testing using a sample t-test showed that (Sig < α (0.05)), then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. These findings suggest that the use of the Elsa Speak application in English language learning can improve students' speaking skill.Keywords: Speaking Skill, Elsa Speak Application.]]>
