The population of this research was the seventh-grade students of SMP Singosari Delitua. The sample consists of 61 students. This research required two groups of students namely the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was treated by using the Duolingo application while speaking, whereas the control group was treated without the Duolingo application. The result of this study indicates that the use of Duolingo improves the ability of the students to speak. it can be seen from the deviation of the experimental group and the control group. The mean\u003Cbr>deviation of the experimental group is 24,07 it means that the deviation is high. This group was taught by using the Duolingo Application Mean of the deviation in control group is 4,87 means that the deviation is low. This group was taught without using Duolingo Application, by using this application made the students understand the material and students were more motivated to learn and brave enough to speak English with the students.
