| Abstrak FADILA PALMAI, 2025. “Improving Speaking Skills of the Tenth Grade Students at SMA Negeri 1 Sindue Through Song Interpretation.” Under the supervision of Abd. Kamaruddin, S.Pd, M.Ed., Ph.D, and Moh. Abraham Akbar Eisenring, S.Pd, M.Pd. Many learners continue to struggle with English speaking skills, particularly in achieving accuracy and clear comprehensibility. This study aimed to examine the impact of the Song Interpretation Method on improving the speaking performance of tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Sindue in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research focused on two main aspects of speaking ability: accuracy and comprehensibility. A quantitative approach was implemented through a quasi-experimental design involving pre-test and post-test control groups. The sample consisted of two classes selected through random sampling, with one designated as the experimental group and the other as the control group. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software, and the Mann–Whitney U Test was employed to assess the differences between the two groups. The findings indicated an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.035, which is lower than 0.05, signifying a significant difference between the post-test scores of the groups. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, confirming that the Song Interpretation Method substantially enhanced students’ speaking proficiency, particularly in terms of accuracy and comprehensibility. These findings suggest that integrating songs into English instruction can foster communicative competence, increase classroom interaction, and motivate learners in EFL contexts.
