<![CDATA[Speaking ability is an important skill for students learning English; however, many students still have difficulty speaking fluently. Previous studies have discussed psychological factors that affect speaking performance, but limited attention has been given to the role of self-assessment in relation to students' speaking ability. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to look at the connection between students' confidence in their ability to speak English and their own judgment. A quantitative correlation design is used in this investigation. A speaking confidence test and a personal judgment questionnaire were used to gather data. Prior to data analysis, the validity and reliability of the instruments were examined. Spearman's rho correlation analysis was used because one of the variables was not normally distributed. The results showed that speaking confidence and personal judgment had a high and statistically significant positive link (r = 0.741, p < 0.05). According to this finding, students who had more positive evaluations of their speaking abilities tended to have greater levels of confidence when speaking. The results show a strong correlation between students' confidence in speaking English and their own judgment. In conclusion, personal judgment affects students' confidence in performance in speaking English, and should be considered in English language teaching]]>
