Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the speaking skills of male and female students at SMAN 1 Batahan Mandailing Natal. The participants consisted of 20 students, equally divided between 10 male and 10 female students. This qualitative research collected data through recorded speaking tests, focusing on four key indicators: pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and fluency. The results revealed that female students achieved a higher average speaking ability score (14.9) than male students (11.5). Further examination showed that female students outperformed males in all aspects, particularly in vocabulary and fluency. These findings suggest that female students tend to possess a broader vocabulary and greater confidence in speaking, which contributes to faster improvement in their English language skills. This study underscores the importance of recognizing gender differences in language learning and offers valuable insights for educators to develop more effective teaching strategies that support the speaking skill development of both male and female students.
