Abstract

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of computer- and mobile-assisted learning on the EFL students’ speaking skills development. This research was conducted at one state junior high school in Banten Province, and the numbers of students were thirty students. This research focused on improving students’ speaking skill by using Macromedia Flash and Smartphone. It used Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the research method. The steps of the research were Plan, action, observation, and reflection. There were two cycles, and there two meetings in each cycle. The research was conducted for two weeks. The data analysis used quantitative data that was obtained from the test, observation sheet and questionnaire. The researchers used a scoring rubric to measure students’ scores and then calculate the mean score. All aspects of the speaking skill improved in the second cycle meaning that the score of mean, median and mode improved (86, 67, 85, 85, respectively). In particular, the students’ speaking score mean was 55.19. Then, after they were given the treatments in the first cycle, the score improved to 75. After the second cycle, the students’ speaking score means reached 85. The students’ responses from the questionnaire results justified the test results.
