Rosetta Stone is used as learning media for students' speaking learning.  In this study, 30 students served as the experimental group, while 30 other students served as the control group. According to the findings of this study, the value of the t-test > t table (3.462> 2.676) indicates a significant difference in English speaking skills when using technology-based learning media. Finally, the use of technology-based learning media is effective in improving students' speaking abilities.
