The independent variable is the student's use of the Bee spelling game (x) and the dependent variable is the student's speaking skill (y). In this case, the writer hypothesizes that there is a hypothetical causality between the students' use of the Bee spelling game (x) as the independent variable and the students' speaking ability (y) as the independent variable to answer the tentative answer to the research problem.
