The Effectiveness of Bingo Game Strategy on Students' Speaking Performance in English Learning: A Study at SMPN 4 Lamongan

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Bingo game strategy on students' speaking performance in English learning at SMPN 4 Lamongan. Using a quasi-experimental design, 30 students were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was taught using the Bingo game strategy, while the control group received traditional instruction. Speaking performance was assessed before and after the intervention, and students’ perceptions were collected via questionnaires. Results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s speaking scores, with mean scores increasing from 67.67 to 85.00. Students also reported positive attitudes toward the Bingo game strategy, noting increased motivation and engagement. These findings suggest that the Bingo game strategy is an effective tool to enhance speaking skills in English language learning.
