Abstract

This study aims to know the effect of implementing AI Google Voice Assistant (GVA) on student’s speaking skills. The research employed an explanatory sequential mixed method with quantitative by using quasi-experimental and qualitative by doing interviews. The sample of the data is from grade 10 at SMK Negeri Bali Mandara and divided into two groups experimental and control groups. The experimental group is 22 students and the control group is 22 students. The data were collected from pre-test and post-test. Based on the statistical data analysis using SPSS, it was found the sig. (2-tailed is .096) which is higher than .005 meaning that there is no significant effect. The interview data using the RASE model showed that the students admitted that GVA is an interesting practical partner but cannot cover all of the aspects that can help students improve their speaking skills because of the familiarity principle where they are not familiar, comprehensive assistance in providing materials, and a lack of evaluative capability for their speaking skill. It can be suggested that the GVA does not have a significant effect on students’ speaking ability.
