This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using videos to enhance students’ speaking skills in English classes at SMPN 1 Palang. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving pretests, posttests, surveys, interviews, and observations. The participants were 8th-grade students. Both animated and native speaker videos contributed differently to the development of these aspects. Students expressed highly positive perceptions, noting that video-based learning made the process more engaging, motivating, and boosted their confidence in speaking English. Therefore, videos are proven to be an effective medium for improving students’ speaking skills.
