Keywords:
Effective Communication, Essential Skill, Self-Efficacy, Speaking Ability
Abstract
Speaking is an essential skill for effective communication. Self-efficacy is one of the factors that appears to be a significant indicator in predicting how well students will perform in academic contexts, particularly in speaking English. During pre-observation, the researchers found that some students found it difficult to speak, but others did not. Self-efficacy is one factor affecting students' speaking ability, based on the results of short interviews with students. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine whether self-efficacy has a substantial effect on students’ English-speaking abilities. The researchers used a quantitative study methodology with an ex-post facto method to determine the extent of the influence of self-efficacy on students' speaking ability. The population in this study was the third-year students of secondary education, which consisted of 79 students. The sample consisted of 36 students, and it was selected using a simple random technique. Furthermore, the instruments that were applied were the self-efficacy questionnaire and the students’ speaking score from the English teacher. The result of this study concluded that there was an effect of self-efficacy on students' English-speaking ability based on a simple linear regression test. This is in line with the results of hypothesis testing, which showed the coefficient of correlation (rxy) of the data was 0.629. It means there was a significant correlation between the two variables. Besides, the level of correlation between both variables was strong.
