<![CDATA[Speaking skills in English language learning are one of the language competencies that need to be developed in order to broaden students’ knowledge and understanding. These skills enable students to acquire, process, and convey information and knowledge that are useful and applicable in their daily lives. The Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) model is a learning method expected to help students master English vocabulary pronunciation and learn how to speak English independently. The general objective of this study was to determine the effect of implementing the STAD model on improving students’ English speaking skills and to examine whether the implementation of the STAD model could enhance English speaking skills at SDIT Al-Hikmah. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental research method. The research design applied was the Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 49 fifth-grade students of SDIT Al-Hikmah in the 2024/2025 academic year. The findings of this study reveal that the implementation of the STAD (Student Teams Achievement Divisions) learning model effectively improved students English speaking skills. The results indicate a difference in the mean learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups. Based on the t-test analysis, the experimental group obtained a t-value of -2.45, while the control group obtained a t-value of -3.47, compared to the critical t-value of 2.01. In addition, the average N-Gain score of the experimental group was 0.46, which was higher than that of the control group (0.37). These findings suggest that the STAD learning model contributes more effectively to the improvement of students' speaking skills than conventional learning methods.
