Abstract

Research on the use of Instagram has mushroomed in EFL classroom teaching and learning. Instagram is very popular among teenagers. This study aims to figure out the impact of using Instagram to improve speaking skill through project based learning by involving 56 Islamic junior high school students. They were asked to create mini drama about phone call conversation, which was posted on the Instagram. A quasi-experimental design was employed during the study. Appropriate non parametric tests was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that Instagram significantly improved students speaking skill from 1,22% for the control group to 3,25% for the experimental group. Hence, integrating mobile applications such as Instagram within EFL curriculum is worth investigating.
