Spoken test, and rubric of evaluation were used to collect the data. The technique to analyze the data was t-test formula. It was used as a technique to determine whether there was any significant difference between the means of the score of the experimental and the control group or not. The mean score of the post-test of the experimental group was higher than the mean of post-test of the control group. And the t obtained value (4.703) was higher than the t critical table (1.67). Since the t-test was higher than the t-table, then it means that there was a significant difference of the spoken analytical exposition text score of the students who were taught using voice blog to the score of those who were taught without voice blog.
