This is a Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in SMKN 6 Jakarta with 17 participants (students) in a classroom. The participants are X-grade students of animation. This research study used two cycles to find the students’ speaking skills development. The findings show that the mean score from pre-test up to post-test increased each. Post-test (79) mean score is higher than the pre-test (61). This indicates that there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test after conducting this PBL.
