In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, both speaking ability and motivation remain common challenges. Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which emphasizes interaction and authentic language use, can help students to develop both aspects by involving learners in real-life communicative tasks such as role plays. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CLT in improving the speaking skills and learning motivation of seventh graders at SMPN 3 Kota Madiun. To provide a comparative measure, the Audio-Lingual Method (ALM), a traditional, drill-based method, was used with a control group. Employing a quasi-experimental design, students were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were gathered through speaking performance tests and motivation questionnaires, and then were analyzed using SPSS 25 with the Mann-Whitney U test, Independent Sample t-test, and N-Gain. The results demonstrated that CLT significantly enhanced both students’ speaking abilities (U = 259.000; p = 0.002) and motivation (p = 0.000) compared to ALM, with a moderate N-Gain effectiveness (56–75%) for the CLT group and minimal improvement (\u003C40%) in the ALM group. These findings confirm CLT as a more effective and engaging instructional method in EFL classrooms.\u003Cbr>Keywords: CLT; speaking skills; students’motivation. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Article history:\u003Cbr>Received May 16, 2025 Revised May 26, 2025 Accepted May 30, 2025 |  |  |\n| Corresponding Author:\u003Cbr>Desi Puspitasari\u003Cbr>Email: [desipus@iainponorogo.ac.id](desipus@iainponorogo.ac.id) |  | Abstrak\u003Cbr>Berbicara merupakan salah satu komponen dasar dari kemahiran berbahasa, yang mengharuskanpembelajar untuk menghasilkan bahasa secara spontan dengan kefasihan dan akurasi, sementara motivasi memainkan peran kunci dalam mempertahankan keterlibatan dan kemauan pembelajaruntukberkomunikasi. Di kelas Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL), kemampuan berbicara dan motivasi tetap menjadi tantangan umum. Pengajaran Bahasa Komunikatif (CLT), yang menekankan interaksi dan penggunaan bahasa yang autentik, dapat membantu siswa untuk mengembangkan kedua aspek tersebut dengan melibatkan pembelajar dalam tugas-tugas komunikatif kehidupan nyata seperti permainan peran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas CLTdalam meningkatkan keterampilan berbicara dan motivasi belajarsiswa kelas tujuhdi SMPN 3 Kota Madiun. Untuk memberikan ukuran komparatif, Metode Audio-Lingual (ALM), metode tradisional berbasis latihan, digunakan dengan kelompok kontrol. Dengan menggunakandesain kuasi-eksperimental, siswa dibagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen (CLT) dan kontrol (ALM). Data dikumpulkan melalui tes kinerja berbicara dan kuesioner motivasi, dianalisis menggunakan SPSS 25 dengan uji Mann-Whitney U, uji t Sampel Independen, dan N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa CLT secara signifikan meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara siswa (U = 259.000; p = 0,002) dan motivasi (p = 0,000) dibandingkan dengan ALM, dengan efektivitas NGain sedang (56–75%) untuk kelompok CLT dan peningkatan minimal (\u003C40%) pada kelompok ALM.
