Abstract

Speaking skill has been a concerned issue for English for foreign language (EFL) learners in Indonesia. Most learners find it difficult since it requires not only accuracy but also fluency at the same time. Some researches argue that seating arrangement influence students’ speaking ability. This study examines whether seating arrangement can help students of MAN2 Mojokerto to improve their speaking skill. A qualitative approach was used by interviewing English teachers and tenth- grade students in the school. The study has revealed that although it helps students in speaking, the influence is not significant. Given this uncertainty, the study argues that for improving the skill needs some strategies or methods appropriate for students. This study also offers a perspective to other instructors trying some classroom management strategies to improve speaking skill for EFL students.
