The results of the test showed that the experimental group had improved their speaking ability more than the control group. It can be concluded that wordwall.net is effective in increasing students speaking skills. Therefore, the result of the Independent sample T-test showed that the sig (2-tailed) value was 0.000 which is less than 0.05. Then the researcher concluded that there is a significant difference in speaking skills between the experimental group and the control group. It also can be seen in statistics that the mean post-test score of the experimental class was 78.14 and the score of the post-test of the control class was 71.43
