This study, titled “An Analysis of Students’ Speaking Skills Using the Hot Seat Game Strategy at 2nd Grade Students of SMAN 1 Taebenu in the Academic Year 2022/2023,” investigates the effectiveness of the Hot Seat Game strategy in enhancing students’ speaking skills. Employing a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental, one-group pre-test and post-test design, the research involved 14 students from Class XI.A (2 males and 12 females) at SMAN 1 Taebenu. Data were collected through a speaking test in which students described a picture, administered both before and after the treatment. The assessment focused on five speaking aspects: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and interactivity. The findings show a significant improvement in students’ speaking performance, with the mean score increasing from 9.21 in the pre-test to 19.29 in the post-test an 11% gain. While the results suggest that the Hot Seat Game can enhance speaking skills, the absence of a control group limits the generalizability of the findings. Future studies are encouraged to employ a more robust experimental design to validate and expand upon these results
