Abstract

As foreign language learners, students tend to face difficulties in speaking English. This study was aimed of finding out the speaking performance, difficulties, factors of difficulties, and the association between the difficulties and factors of difficulties in speaking. The participants are 67 fifth semester students of English Education at Sriwijaya University. The instruments are speaking test, questionnaire, and semi-structured interview. The speaking test was scored by using SOLOM speaking rubric. The questionnaire was adapted from Irismet (2006). The interview was used to find factors of difficulties. The findings showed that 58% did not perform well in the speaking test. The difficulties are affected-related difficulties (self-confidence 74% and anxiety 67%), socially-related difficulties (students’ comprehension to find opportunities to learn English 51% and students’ comprehension in speaking class 31%), linguistically-related difficulties (fluency 59%, grammar 79%, vocabulary 77%, and pronunciation 54%). The factors of difficulties are lack of general knowledge, lack of speaking practice, fear of mistake, less of new words usage and memorization, lack of grammatical usage practice, hard courses, low motivation, low participation, reading laziness, shyness, less of dictionary usage, nervousness, fear of criticism, and lack of pronunciation practice. The data was calculated by percentage analysis and Chi-Square Association. The Chi-Square analysis showed that (p-value 603.508 > critical value 70.003) there is a significant association between the difficulties and the factors of difficulties. Keywords: Students’ Speaking Performance, Speaking Difficulties, Factors of Difficulties, Significant Association
