The results were (1) students' self-confidence was moderate with a mean score 3.17; (2) students' willingness to communicate in English was moderate with a mean score 2.85; (3) there was a significant correlation between students' self-confidence and their willingness to communicate in English with r = 0 .575 and p =0.000 < α =0.05).
