- Abstract
The article was dealing with the descriptions of students’ achievement in learning the productive skills of English. It aimed to describe the students’ learning achievement for both speaking and writing skills and their problems in their learning career. The research participants consisted of 30 students. The speaking and writing tests were successfully used for collecting data. The data were analyzed by using a mean percentage. The variables measured for speaking skills were pronunciation, vocabulary, structure, fluency and self–confidence, while for writing skills were central idea, organization, supporting material, word choice, spelling, grammar and punctuation. The research results indicated that most of the students got achievement of the average category in speaking skills (49.33%), but in writing skills, most of them got achievement of the low category (34.00%). The low learning achievements were affected by the problems faced by the students, such as lacking English vocabulary, structure and inhibition for speaking practice. Those problems had to be overcome for making the students’ English productive skills improve. Besides, the research results were significantly useful to design the learning materials for the language skills.
