| dc.description.abstract | Speaking is one of the skills in English. Speaking is an expression or communication in which an individual utters an idea or ideas and feelings toward the one with whom he is speaking. Therefore, the ability to speak is essential to mastery and learning in education, especially students because students can know how to relate their thoughts, ideas, and ideas to a topic of conversation. According Moat (2016:88), said that speaking is the important skill because the learner should acquire and the purpose of speaking is students are able to use English well in oral communication. Speaking has many activities that should be paid attention to, not only relate to what is being spoken, what the language is used, but also who is our interlocutor. So, the good speaker should pay attention to what they will speak, understanding the topic, what language they want to use In order to be understood easily by his listener, and to whom they speak. Speaking is a tool to communicate ideas as well that are arranged and developed according to the listener’s needs (taiga, 1987, cited in Masada, 2008).
The research subjects were the second semester of EFL students at University of Islam Malang. The researcher took those who were considered having the problems to be examined in this study, it come from the background of students' abilities or different score. There were five male students and five female Students’ to be selected as samples, thus the total number of participants required by the researcher is 10 students. The data were analyzed using six procedures adapted from Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis, such as (1) identifying the recorded data (2) transcribing the data (3) reading the interview Transcriping (4) marking any important data found (5) making a theme potential (6) and concludes the final theme. There are ten students who were interviewed. They were students who have made presentations in the speaking class and were selected using a quota sampling technique based on the highest and lowest grades of English lessons in the second semester. After explaining this research to participants clearly, the researcher starts the interview to students. This interview was recorded using a recorder, and this interview was done online. Before the interview begins, the researcher will chat first to eliminate the nervousness of the sources that can affect the validity of the data. The duration of interview is approximately 15-20 minutes. The main thing is the result of the difficulties students often experience in making presentations in speaking class. The data were generated through the interviews. The questions were made by the researcher and it was validated by the lecturer, to facilitate participants in understanding the interview questions, interviews were conducted using the national participant's first language or language.
The findings show that there are factors that make it difficult to speak English at the time of their presentation, including personal factors and limited linguistic mastery. They significantly said that the existence of these factors made it difficult for them to speak English. When asked about speaking English they mostly use Indonesian. The reason is because they are also students who still need to learn English so they think it is only natural. The use of Indonesian is still often used even though in class you have to use English. In this case the teaching materials used by lecturers also affect their willingness to communicate in English in English classes, while teaching materials supporting students are rarely used by lecturers. Lastly, students prefer to speak English if the lecturer does not make them too tense so that courage will appear and they will be more active in speaking English.
The facts above demand the attention of the lecturers to be even better in teaching English to English students. Students and lecturers must have the principle that every lesson will experience problems if it is not mastered properly. The lecturer's curriculum and teaching materials for students are also very influential on their English. In addition, to obtain better results, it is necessary to collect data with a wider sample of participants, especially from state universities and from different faculties and departments than before.
