Abstract

Although learning English for many years, most students could not be able to practice and speak in the class or out of class. Speaking in English language is very difficult for students and they think that they cannot speak English even though they know that the skill is very important to face the globalization. Various studies shows internal factors play important roles in speaking. One of the factors is self-efficacy (SE). Yet, there has not yet comprehensive study on the correlation between self-efficacy and speaking ability especially in lower secondary level of the students. Therefore, this research intends to find out the relationship between the student's self-efficacy and speaking skill at lower level, at seventh grade students at SMPN 2 Curug, Tangerang. A quantitative method was used. Using a random sampling, 78 students from eight classes were given self-efficacy questionnaire and speaking test. The analysis of correlation revealed that there is a significant correlation between the student’s self-efficacy and the student’s speaking skill at seventh grade students. Therefore, the English teachers should help the student to increase the student’s self- efficacy in speaking skill as it can foster the student’s enthusiasm in learning.
