Abstract

One of the crucial steps in curriculum design and lesson planning is discovering students’ perceptions of the teaching and learning processes. This study is an evaluative research that aims to determine the perception of English Foreign Language (EFL) students of the Speaking Club in higher education. The student perception is an important consideration for evaluating the Speaking Club in terms of context, input, process, and product (CIPP). The researcher used an online questionnaire to collect the data. The respondents were 27 EFL students who joined the Speaking Club. The results of the data obtained in this study indicate that most students consider the Speaking Club as a significant opportunity to improve their speaking skills. The students stated that the Speaking Club was a great way to increase their confidence in speaking, enabling them to make new friends, experience, as well as speaking knowledge and skills. In addition, students found some shortcominga of the Speaking Club based on their experiences. The paper ends with a discussion of the students’ perceptions and suggestions based on students’ perceptions for the progress of the Speaking Club.
