Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the level of speaking performance among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, focusing on their ability to deliver short presentations in English. The study employs short presentations as the primary instrument for evaluating speaking skills, with an assessment rubric used to measure key criteria such as fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension and grammar. The sample of the study consists of twenty-eight EFL students from the English Language Education study program, at Universitas Negeri Makassar using cluster random sampling. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 to determine the frequency and percentage distributions to identify common patterns in speaking performance levels. Additionally, the mean score is calculated to provide a quantitative measure of the overall speaking performance across the respondents. The findings of the data analysis revealed that the level of EFL students’ speaking performance represents B- level with a mean score of 74.46. As a result, the study emphasizes the importance of structured assessment tools like rubrics in providing objective and comprehensive evaluations of students' speaking performance, and suggests that targeted instructional strategies could help improve specific areas of speaking proficiency. Keywords: Explore, Speaking Performance, Speaking Level, Students

Abstract

This research aims to examine the influence of EFL students’ self-confidence and motivation on speaking performance. A quantitative approach with an ex post facto design was employed. The research population consisted of English Language Education students from Universitas Negeri Makassar, batch 2022, and cluster random sampling was used to select twenty-eight respondents. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and a speaking test. The data were analyzed using f-test statistic with a significant value of 0.05. The results of the data analysis revealed that the sig. value of f-test is .000 < 0.05, therefore the H1 is accepted, where there is a significant influence between self-confidence and motivation on speaking performance, and H0 is rejected. As a result, the research findings suggest several implications. Firstly, highlight the need for fostering a supportive and encouraging classroom environment. Secondly, incorporating students’ interests and real-life scenarios into the curriculum can increase their motivation. Thirdly, the research suggests that integrating activities that build both self-confidence and motivation into the EFL curriculum can lead to significant improvements in speaking performance.
