They will speak English a lot when they become teachers later. If they have a low speaking ability, there might be a misunderstanding and them and their students. This study aims to determine if there is a positive correlation between the self-efficacy of English students and their speaking skills.

The correlation result is r count = 0.848, and the significance value is ρ = 0.000. The r table for N = 34 is 0.329. Therefore, the r count is more than the r table (0.848 > 0.329), indicating a strong correlation. In addition, the significance value is less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05).
