<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the phenomenon of interference that often occurs in foreign students studying Indonesian. Interference is one of the errors in language. This study aims to identify the forms of interference that appear in speech and the factors behind it. This study uses a qualitative approach with the Free Listening and Speaking (SBLC) method and open interviews with students and lecturers. The data in this study are recordings of student speech in a Speaking skills class which are analyzed using the agih method to identify the form of interference and the matching method to analyze the factors behind it. The results of the study show two forms of interference that appear in student speech in Speaking skills class, namely phonological and lexical forms. Phonological forms are divided into three categories: phoneme reduction, phoneme changes, and phoneme addition. The lexical form occurs when two languages are mixed in one sentence, namely Indonesian, English, and Hindi. The factors underlying the occurrence of interference are the influence of the first language, especially on phonological forms, and the similarity of vocabulary between the students' first language and Indonesian.]]>
