The speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 27 Satu Atap Lappawarue are still considered low.This is caused by the students' low self-confidence in speaking in public and the use of teaching methods that do not encourage active participation.This study aims to determine the extent of the influence of the Role Playing learning technique in improving students' speaking skills in the Indonesian language subject. The type of this research is Pre-Experiment.The research design is a Pretest-Posttest Design, which is an experiment that involves only one class as the experimental class without a comparison class (control class).The subjects used in this study were 12 students. The results of the descriptive statistical analysis show that the use of the Role Playing learning technique has a positive impact on the improvement of students' speaking skills.The average speaking skill scores of the students increased from 44 during the pretest to 79 after the posttest.This shows that after the Role Playing technique was applied, the students' speaking skills experienced a significant improvement compared to before the technique was implemented.The results of the inferential statistical analysis using the t-test formula show that the calculated t-value obtained is 9.358 with a frequency (df) = 12 – 1 = 11.At a significance level of α = 0.05, the t-table value obtained is 2.200.Thus, t calculated > t table, so the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted.This proves that there is a significant influence of the Role Playing technique on the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 27 Satu Atap Lappawarue, Mallawa District, Maros Regency.

This study aims to describe the effect of the snowball throwing learning model on the results of learning to read Indonesian for grade IV SD students No.198 Inpres Bontorita Takalar Regency. The subjects used in the study were 30 students. This type of research is pre-experimental research in the form of Pre Test Post Test Design, namely an experiment which in its implementation only involves one class as the experimental class without any comparison class (control class).The success of the learning process in terms of aspects, namely: the achievement of completeness of students' classical Indonesian learning outcomes, student activities in learning Indonesian. Learning is said to be successful if the above aspects are fulfilled. The data collection technique used is the score data for reading results which are collected using a reading test.The results of the descriptive statistical analysis using the Snowball Throwing Learning Model for positive reading skills, students' reading skills using the Snowball Throwing learning model show better learning outcomes than before the Snowball Throwing learning model was applied. The results of inferential statistical analysis using the t test formula, it is known that the calculated t value obtained is 11.5444 with a frequency of db = 30–1 = 29, at a significance level of 5% obtained t table = 2.04523. So, t count > t table or the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. This proves that there is influence in applying the Snowball Throwing learning model to reading skills in Indonesian language class IV SD No.198 Inpres Bontorita.
