Pre-Experimental Research INTRODUCTION Conveying and honing language skills other than the mother tongue is a challenging task for both parties, teachers and students, especially when focusing on learning English as a foreign language (Alharbi, 2. Indonesian as our national language cannot yet be fully used as a means of global communication. This fact shows that English has become a universal language for communication, science, technology, trade, politics, and dominates almost all sectors (Kartono in Uzer, 2. In Indonesia, students have to take English as a compulsory subject, starting from grade eight to grade twelve at the high school level (Fauziyah, 2. Students are expected to have proficiency in four aspects, namely listening, reading, and writing (Y. Wulandari & Fadhilawati, 2. Among these four skills, speaking ability is considered the most important aspect for students to master English well. The main focus in language learning is developing speaking skills (Mustofa & Hamid in Ardiansyah & Kurniawan, 2. Learning how to speak English is very important for students, as it allows them to demonstrate their ability to use the language (Zyoud, 2. Speaking is also the main means of interacting, sharing ideas, and conveying information to Received: Februari 27, 2024. Accepted: Maret 19, 2024.

However, many students in Indonesia experience difficulties in acquiring these skills. They may feel anxious about speaking in public and lack confidence in answering questions from teachers in class. These obstacles can hinder their ability to communicate effectively in English, which can ultimately impact their academic performance and careers. Therefore, educators need to provide support and guidance to students to help them overcome barriers to speaking, and develop the confidence and skills necessary to communicate effectively. The ability to communicate effectively in English is not only limited to the use of grammar and vocabulary but also involves the ability to speak fluently and clearly. However, many students face difficulties in speaking English due to several factors. According to (Riswandi, 2. noted that students often feel nervous when asked to give presentations, which results in the use of inappropriate vocabulary and grammar. Wulandari & Fadhilawati, . also emphasized that limited vocabulary, poor understanding of grammar, and difficulties in pronunciation of English words are important factors that hinder students from speaking English with confidence. Students' limited ability to speak English is often related to a lack of basic mastery of vocabulary and grammar knowledge, as well as a lack of academic literacy in reading and writing (Budiharso in Fadhilawati, 2. Therefore, it is important for educators to address these factors and provide students with effective strategies to improve their English speaking skills. The results of research observations at SMAN 1 Sutojayan in Blitar show the challenges faced by secondary school students in learning English, especially in the aspect of speaking about report texts. Interviews stated that the student's speaking skills did not meet expectations, which resulted in academic achievement below the minimum standard set . Apart from that, from the results of interviews with teachers and students in English subjects at the school, it was revealed that the learning process was hampered by a lack of relevant and interesting materials and media. Usually, teaching methods rely on Student Worksheets (LKS) and guidebooks provided by the government. They have not utilized various interesting media such as videos and other applications that can strengthen students' ability to speak more effectively. To improve students' speaking skills, it is important for teachers to use media that is interesting and appropriate to students' needs. One very effective medium for learning to speak is Instagram Reel. Before discussing more about Instagram Reels, it is important to understand the basic concepts of the Instagram platform. Instagram is a social media platform JURRIBAH - Vol. No. 1 APRIL 2024 e-ISSN: 2829-0143. p-ISSN: 2829-0151. Hal 51-66 that provides various complete features and can be accessed easily by students (Ambarsari. On August 5, 2020. Instagram introduced its newest feature, namely Instagram Reels, which is gradually being introduced to users around the world (D. Wulandari et al. , 2. This feature is interesting because it allows users to create videos and photos with additional music, effects, filters, speed, and transitions that can be adjusted according to their individual preferences (Sari, 2. Apart from that, this application can be downloaded via Playstore and AppStore, making it easier for students and teachers to access it. Several studies on the use of Instagram Reels have been carried out by the following researchers: . Sari, . Instagram Reels can support the online learning process by providing features that suit the needs of teaching English language and literature in middle and high schools, . Novitasari et al. , . , concluded that the use of Instagram Reels had a positive impact on students' pronunciation and flexibility in the learning process, especially in speaking skills, . Tari et al. , . , shows that the use of Instagram Reels can significantly improve the dancing abilities of students who previously did not reach the minimum standard at SMAN 5 Sidrap, . Rahel et al. , . , reported that the use of the Instagram application was effective as a speaking learning aid at SMA Negeri 4 Pematangsiantar. In their research. Simamora et al. , . , argue that the application of a project-based learning model using social media Instagram Reels has proven effective in teaching students how to write procedural texts correctly according to language structures and rules, as well as helping them to publish them. Most previous studies indicate that the use of Instagram Reels has proven effective in the context of dance learning, online learning, and developing writing skills. Although several studies have investigated speaking skills, there has been no research that specifically discusses the use of Instagram Reels to improve speaking skills in report texts at the high school level. This can be considered a lacuna in the research literature. Based on previous studies, there are limitations faced by researchers who want to use Instagram Reels as a teaching aid for speaking report texts at the high school level. Apart from that, as previously reported, at SMAN 1 Sutojayan, especially in class X-3, there are difficulties in speaking skills, especially regarding report texts. Based on the recommendation of the English teacher in class. METHOD This research adopts a quantitative approach, which involves collecting data in the form of numbers or data that can be measured quantitatively. On the other hand, the The Efficacy Of Instagram Reels On Speaking Learning At Senior High School qualitative approach is a research method that places greater emphasis on non-numerical data and in-depth descriptions of the phenomena being studied. A quantitative approach allows researchers to make predictions about conditions that may occur in the future in the population being investigated. The results of quantitative research can be analyzed statistically and can be generalized (Mukhid, 2. Furthermore, in this research a pre-experimental method was used by applying a onegroup pretest and posttest approach. This design involves an experiment conducted on one group without a comparison group. At the pre-test stage, measurements are carried out before implementing the treatment to compare the condition of the groups before treatment (Hardianto & Baharuddin, 2. The location of this research is at SMAN 1 Sutojayan, which is located at Jl. Diponegoro. Dadapan. Kedung Bunder. Sutojayan District. Blitar Regency. The choice of this location was based on the recommendation of one of the supervisors at Balitar Islamic University, who suggested choosing a location that was already known to several teachers there, and also because the researcher was an alumni of that school. A teacher at SMAN 1 Sutojayan also stated the need for innovations in learning media to support students and teachers in the teaching and learning process. Another reason for choosing this location is because this school has not made much use of technology in teaching English, even though computer laboratory facilities are available. This research focused on class X-3 students, totaling 37 students, in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. Preliminary learning was carried out at school in February 2023, while pre-test, treatment, and post-test procedures were carried out in May 2023. (Sugiyono in Muhammad in Rizky et al. , 2. , explains that a valid instrument is an instrument that is accurate in measuring what it should measure. In this research, the validity test of the instrument was carried out through responses from experts, and the data obtained will be used to test the validity of the instrument using the Product Moment formula from Karl Pearson with the help of the SPSS 20 for Windows program. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION Before conducting the pre-test in class X-3 at SMAN 1 Sutojayan Blitar, the researcher conducted a trial experiment first. This is done to ensure that the test has adequate validity and reliability as a research instrument before being officially used. On May 9, 2023, researchers conducted a trial in class X-4 at SMAN 1 Sutojayan involving 38 participants. The trial test includes instructions for assessing speaking ability through preparing a report JURRIBAH - Vol. No. 1 APRIL 2024 e-ISSN: 2829-0143. p-ISSN: 2829-0151.

Therefore, it can be concluded that each item in the test has an adequate level of validity. Next, after completing the validity test, the researcher carried out a reliability test. A test is considered to have adequate reliability if Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient is equal to or higher The results of the reliability test using SPSS version 20 are presented in Table 3. Table 3 The Result of Reliability Case Processing Summary Valid Excluded Total Cases Reliability Statistics Cronbach's Alpha Cronbach's Alpha Based N of Items on Standardized Items Based on the information from the table provided, it can be observed that Cronbach's Alpha Coefficient has a value greater than 0. Thus, it can be concluded that the test shows an adequate level of reliability. After going through a trial process and assessing the validity and reliability of the test, the researchers then carried out a pre-test on May 9 2023 in class X-3 at SMAN 1 Sutojayan, involving 37 participants as respondents. The purpose of this pre-test is to obtain information about students' abilities in delivering report texts, before implementing Instagram Reels in the speaking learning process. Below are the results of the student pre-test. JURRIBAH - Vol. No. 1 APRIL 2024 e-ISSN: 2829-0143. p-ISSN: 2829-0151.

The results of this pretest have not reached the minimum standard for mastery of English subjects, namely 75. Therefore, researchers plan to implement Instagram Reels as a step to improve students' abilities in delivering report texts in class X-3 at SMAN 1 Sutojayan. After carrying out the intervention, namely providing teaching to speak about report texts using Instagram Reels for four meetings, the researchers continued by conducting a post-test on May 26, 2023. The post-test was carried out online via the Instagram platform using the reels feature, involving 37 participants from class X-3. The purpose of this post-test The Efficacy Of Instagram Reels On Speaking Learning At Senior High School is to assess the results of student achievement in speaking related to report text after implementing Instagram Reels.
