dc.description.abstract	In this study, the researcher discovered that the English teacher in class VIII A of Mts Hasyim Asyari Kota Batu used the traditional method in teaching speaking activity. It made students have a low interest in speaking activities because they faced difficulties and hadn't other examples of speaking in English. The teachers used e-learning already available in school while given the assignment. The teachers discovered some errors in their speaking, such as vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, accuracy, and intonation. Furthermore, based on observations and interviews with students, most students have difficulty speaking in English. In addition, most of the students of VIII A did not reach the Minimum Learning Mastery (KKM) in speaking English. The KKM is 75, and the average of most students' scores in VIII A of Mts Hasyim Asyari Kota Batu in the second year, 2021/2022, was less than 75. Based on the obstacles above, the researcher proposed using blended learning as a teaching and learning method, with Google Classroom as the platform, to improve students' speaking abilities. In this study, the researcher used Classroom Action Research. The subject of this study was class VIII A, consisting of 31 students (17 girls and 14 boys). The study aims to improve students' speaking ability when blended learning is applied using the Google Classroom of VIII A at MTs Hasyim Asyari Kota Batu. The researcher used the quantitative data from the test to determine the improvement in students' speaking ability. The result of the research showed that blended learning using google classroom could improve students speaking abilities of second graders of Mts Hasyim Asyari Kota Batu. The result of the mean score in the speaking test has increased from 59,55 to 78,42. In the preliminary study, 19 of 31 students failed to reach KKM. After the implementation, the students who passed the KKM were 28 students or 80% of the class percentage, and three students passed the KKM with a score of 75. It means that the mean score improved by 51%. It also indicated that the success criteria had complied in one cycle. The researcher highlighted indicators of success in this method during the teaching and learning process, 75%, because Mts Hasyim Asyari Kota Batu required their students to get at least 75 to pass the grade. The results above show a significant increase in students' speaking ability after participating in blended learning through google classroom.
