The hypotheses were tested using inferential this case, the researcher used t-test (testing paired samples test for independent sample to know the significance of difference between students’ mean scores in all mean score of tests. there was highest significant difference between the students' speaking skill in pre-tests and post tests after the treatment. It means that the application of Yahoo Messenger in teaching speaking can increase the students' speaking skill, but the most that can be increased was comprehensibility because of students' habitation in communicating with native or non native speakers of english that might help them to understand the speakers' intention.

comprehensibility (86.43).
4.1 The Students’ Speaking Skill in Terms of Accuracy The use of Yahoo Messenger in teaching speaking gained a better result in students’ speaking performance in term of accuracy.
4.1.1. Mispronunciation
This is in line with Wenden (1987) said that to be successful in language leaning, one should use the language as often as possible, think with the target language, and live and study in an environment where the target language is spoken. The pronunciation problems that the students faced were the difficulty to pronounce the phonemes /ð, ø/ either in initial.
4.1.2. Grammatical Errors
the grammatical errors the students made were
patterns of syntax, such as: concord, word order, and incomplete sentences. the students lack of grammar mastery. The grammatical of speaking text script:

vocabulary and the non-mastery of grammar hindered them to speak fluently. in implementing the Yahoo Messenger, the students spoke expressively and bravely.

Such as student can be talk with people in or out world.
Yahoo Messenger also can help students to develop others skills that are essential in the active world, such as personal skill (independence or autonomy, interpersonal skills (asking, listening, interviewing, discussing, debating, suggesting, and helping), and organizational skill (setting objectives, time and project management) (Cziko & Park, 2003).
