This study aimed to examine (1) the effect of students’ perceptions of learning media on their speaking skills, (2) the effect of self-efficacy on speaking skills, and (3) the combined effect of both factors on speaking skills. A quantitative method with a survey design was applied, involving a population of state junior high school students in Lampung. A total of 91 students were selected through random sampling. Data were collected using three instruments: a questionnaire on perceptions of learning media, a self-efficacy scale, and a speaking skills test. The data were analyzed through multiple linear regression using SPSS version 25. The results indicated that perceptions of learning media significantly influenced speaking skills (Sig = 0.038 < 0.05; t = 2.532), self-efficacy also significantly affected speaking skills (Sig = 0.029 < 0.05; t = 2.485), and both variables together had a significant simultaneous effect (Sig = 0.044 < 0.05; F = 3.299). These findings suggest that perceptions of learning media and self-efficacy play crucial roles in improving students’ speaking skills.
