Abstract

This study is about students who have some problems speaking English. This study was carried out at SMAN 09 Bengkulu. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that affect the effectiveness of students in learning English skills. The design of this study used a qualitative descriptive method. The subjects of this study were students of SMAN 09 Bengkulu, class XI. Research data were collected using observation and in-depth interviews. Observations were made by researchers with English subject teachers for eight meetings to observe students' English-speaking skills in class with four factors assessed: shyness, anxiety, confidence, and motivation with aspects of the assessment including very good, good, quite good, not good, and bad, while the interviews were conducted with 20 11th-grade students of SMAN 09 Bengkulu, the results showed that students experienced several problems that were influenced by psychological factors in speaking English, such as shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, and lack of motivation. These issues are drawn from the factors that have the greatest influence on students, namely these four factors. This is because when one of these factors affects students, other factors appear so that the four factors are interrelated and affect the students' psychology. Most of the students admitted that they were afraid to speak because they could not pronounce it. Most of them are afraid of making mistakes, so they feel unable to try to speak English. English as a foreign language (EFL) for students is something new to learn and use in their environment, so it has many influences, such as psychological factors.
