- Conceptual Framework
Speaking is an essential skill as it is the basis of communication and it is the most difficult skill. According to Harmer, speaking is the ability to speak fluently and presupposes not only knowledge of language features, but also the ability to process information and language "on the spot". Chaney argues that speaking is a process of constructing and sharing meaning through verbal and non-verbal symbols in different contexts.
For example, by saying that it is the opposite of empty, we make its meaning perfectly clear; we understand that cheap is the opposite of expensive (Harmer, 2001). Comprehension is the ability to fully understand and be familiar with a situation or facts. The monologue is the spoken language that is a set of lines spoken by an individual where there is only one-way communication.
It is the word that only one person speaks like in lectures, in speeches, etc. If a player makes a play where the key word covers two DWS squares, its value is doubled, then doubled (ie, 4× the value of the word ). The result of the questionnaire would be analytical, and the result of the speaking skill is the finding of this research.

The Scramble Game In Improving Students' Vocabulary in the Seventh Grade of MTS LKMD Sawa. First, I can challenge myself to create some words and make some words from the latter that I get in the short time, and at the same time, if I have known about some word0s, then my friend will give or make their own word so I can get new words from my vocabulary list so this is so exciting and beneficial for me.
Example: Actually, when I was asked about doodling, my speaking skill is actually improving, I can't say that this game can give me significant benefits because I can't feel it, I can't directly benefit because it just improves my vocabulary, but actually when I get new vocabulary and I try to memorize so that it will improve my English speaking, it will be directly used in my communication process, for example while playing scrabble, I will communicate with unknown people like my friends in the game, so I directly use the words. Example: My experience while playing scrabble every time I played I always get a new vocabulary I got unknown word that I don't know it even exists. Example: The first time my friends invited me to play this game, I thought it would be so awkward because we just put some vocabulary on the board and get the score, but it's not like that, when I played this game it is very fun when I played with my friends like not only memorize the vocabulary but we have to know a trick how to get a high score and how to put word in the right place place, because each letter has a difference score, so if we can make a similar word with the high score we can make the high score and also pay attiantions with timer.

Sample: Speaking is a vocabulary problem and vocabulary is one of the most important things to learn, if you want to speak well with Scrabble you can learn new vocabulary so you can improve your speaking skills by using the new vocabulary you got while playing svrabb;le in your everyday conversation.
Example: I realize that scrabble really helps me improve my speaking because I always gain new vocabulary. Example: To improve my speaking, I think I don't think so, but it still improves my speaking if I use the word I got while speaking English a second time.
