This study aims to develop an AI Yoodli-based instructional module that is valid, practical, and effective, while also examining its impact on students' speaking skills. The module incorporates AI-powered feedback from Yoodli, which evaluates aspects such as speech pace, clarity, pronunciation, and filler word usage. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach through the ADDIE model, the study focused on senior high school students in Cirebon. Data collection involved expert validation questionnaires, observation sheets, pre- and post-speaking tests, and student response surveys. Findings indicate that the developed module meets established validity and practicality standards and significantly improves students’ speaking abilities. The module allows students to receive immediate AI feedback while enabling teachers to monitor the learning process efficiently, alleviating concerns about individual student progress. The study’s novelty lies in integrating the instructional module with AI usage, moving beyond previous research that primarily focused on AI application in classroom activities. Consequently, this approach offers educators a structured, practical tool that combines both AI assistance and instructional guidance for enhancing classroom learning.
