This research aimed to observe learning-speaking skills using Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle and Whatsapp application at Secretarial Academy of Budi Luhur Jakarta. This research was a part of instructional material development for a speaking course at ASTRI Budi Luhur Jakarta. The approach of this research was qualitative, while the data was collected through observation. This research was conducted from March 2020 to April 2021. The results indicated that both LMS Moodle and WhatsApp could be maximally utilized in learning speaking skills. Moodle's modules for learning speaking were: Attendance, Book, File, Folder, Label, Page, Assignment, Quiz, Chat, Forum, and Glossary. The attendance module could be used to check student attendance. Book, File, Folder, Label, and Page module can be used to deliver learning materials and examples in the form of text, audio, and video. Meanwhile, the assignment and quiz modules could be used to provide assignments, exercises, and learning evaluations to students. Finally, chat and forum modules were used to ensure the students' continuity of interaction and the lecturer or among students. The glossary module could be used to provide vocabulary that had to be studied. Meanwhile, the WhatsApp application could be used to interact, record audio or video, and collect tasks. So it could be concluded that LMS Moodle and WhatsApp applications could be used and were beneficial in learning during the Covid 19 pandemic.
