Abstract

English speaking skill is challenging for Indonesian students, it is necessary to identify factor such as self-esteem that contributes significantly to the improvement of this skill. This investigation was conducted on students who have taken speaking class at an English Education department in a University in West Papua. The methods used to collect the data were questionnaire and interview. The instrument for Self-esteem identification and classification adapted the Self ­Esteem Inventory (CSEI) developed by Ryden (1978). Fifty students (50) students voluntarily participated in this study. Based on the data obtained from the research instruments, it was confirmed that self-esteem played pivotal roles on students’ speaking ability. Those with good and high levels of self-esteem perform better than the students with low self-esteem. Home environment, social interactions, supports, and appreciation were identified as determinant components for the students in this context to the level of their self-esteem in improving their English-speaking ability. Some suggestions and recommendations for future investigations are discussed.
