The research instrument for data collection used in this research was the test to determine students’ speaking skill before and after treatment.  The result of this research showed that the t-test value was higher than t-table value. The t-test value of speaking skill is greater than t-table (-14.749>2.160), and the mean score of the students’ post-test (75.64) is higher than the mean score of the students’ pre-test (50.14), the mean score increased by about 25.5 points. The mean score of the post-test is higher than the mean score of the pre-test. It means that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected while the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted. In other words, there is significant difference between the result of the pre-test and post-test in growing students’ speaking skill. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that the films with the fun English teaching method grew students’ speaking skill.
