Quasi experimental research was administered in this study, using two groups of experimental and control. Multimedia 1 class as the experimental group and Multimedia 2 class as the control group. There were six meetings for each group with four meetings for treatment, and other two meetings for pre-test and post-test. The data were in form of speaking scores emphasizing on fluency, structure, and bravery. From the t-test for independent samples, the result showed that the value of t-test was 0.034 less than 0.05.
