This study aims to analyze the effect of Indonesian language learning using the Reflective Maternal Method (RMM) based on role play on the speaking ability of deaf students. The study employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test post-test design involving 6 deaf students in grade 9 at SLB Negeri Pembina Tingkat Nasional Bagian C Malang. The intervention was conducted over 8 sessions. The results showed an increase in the average score from 60 (pre-test) to 68 (post-test). The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test obtained a significance value of 0.027 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of RMM based on role play on improving the speaking ability of deaf students.
