Abstract: The Indonesian government has realised the importance of education in these recent days by increasing the investment in education in all fields including English language studies. This study purported to investigate the impacts of the use of Natural Disaster Teaching Module (NDTM) on secondary school students in West Aceh. The population and sample of the study comprised the secondary school students studying in a public school in Acheh, Indonesia. The control group and the experimental group was of equal size, each having 30 students from the 8th grade. The pretest and posttest of the same test was administed on the students in both groups in the beginning and end of the study. The quasi-experimental teaching was conducted during the regular teaching hours of English class. The result indicated that there was a significant difference found between the two group scores as shown in the post-test (0,000 on 0,05 level). This study recommends that, teachers are encouraged to develop their disaster knowledge in order to effectively facilitate English instruction. Moroever,the effect of natural disaster teaching module should be investigated in a variety of learning disciplines in the subject of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer science, Indonesian studies, and Islamic studies on the same pattern, and some other variables such as attitude, background status of the student, level of intelligence should be controlled.
