This research employed a quantitative approach with a single-group pretest-posttest design. Data collection techniques included oral tests. The research instrument consisted of an sheet to track the development of speaking skills. Data analysis was performed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test to identify differences in speaking ability before and after the intervention. The results showed an improvement in the speaking ability of children with hearing impairment following the implementation of the sabotage strategy within the AVT approach, particularly in vocabulary mastery and fluency in speaking.
