Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between informal peer communication in English and students’ self-confidence in speaking English in class among twelfth-grade students of MAS Pondok Pesantren Syafa’aturrasul. The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of all 64 twelfth-grade students selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires on informal peer communication and self-confidence in speaking English. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS 26 with normality, linearity, and Pearson Product-Moment correlation tests. The results showed a strong and significant positive relationship between informal peer communication in English and students’ self-confidence in speaking English in class (r = 0.690; p < 0.05). This indicates that the more frequently students engage in informal communication in English with their peers, the higher their self-confidence in speaking English in class. The study highlights the importance of peer interaction in enhancing students’ confidence and encourages teachers to create a supportive environment that fosters English communication practice among students.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing non-English major students' interest in applying their english speaking skills in daily life. The research focuses on Chemical Engineering students of the University of Muhammadiyah Riau, Class of 2024. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale, which measured students' interest in speaking English outside the classroom. A sample of 45 students was selected through random sampling from a population of 51, with results showing that 81% of respondents expressed an interest in using English in their daily interactions. The study identifies key factors affecting students' speaking interest, including self-confidence, social environment, and motivation. Results suggest that a supportive environment and intrinsic and extrinsic motivations significantly influence students' willingness to speak English. However, challenges such as lack of confidence and fear of making mistakes remain significant barriers. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to foster practical English use and bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world communication. These findings contribute to the development of more effective strategies for encouraging non-English major students to apply their English skills in everyday life.
