The test instrument consisted of a conversation test, while non-test instruments included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. The findings revealed that the experimental class showed greater improvement in scores than the control class. The control class had an average pre-test score of 48.88 and a post-test score of 56.52, while the experimental class improved from 50.04 to 62.48. The Mann-Whitney test results obtained an Asymp.
