Abstract

Speaking English becomes important because it is very helpful for facing the Revolution Era 4.0. For this reason, teachers must provide learning experiences so that students can have the expected competencies, one of which can communicate using English. Learning English especially for speaking skills is very challenging for students in Foreign Language contexts, because they have very few opportunities to use the target language outside the classroom. However for foreign language learners, speaking English is not easy to be practiced. In line with MacIntyre and Gardner (1991) mentioned that speaking in the second language is the most anxiety for the students and half is the use of speaking skills as confidence-building experience. Anxiety affects students’ performance through anxiety, self-doubt, and reduced participation. Some students also believed that English is a difficult subject. From the previous research has investigated and found the factors that cause foreign language anxiety problems from different perspectives. The researcher restricts several limitation such as the factors causing speaking anxiety, identify the dominant factors of causing speaking anxiety and students’ solution in X-4 class at the tenth grade of SMAN 1 Kediri. This study used descriptive research and qualitative as the approach. The subject of this research were students at X-4 Class of SMAN 1 KEDIRI Academic Year 2022/2023 with the total number are 32 students. To collect the data, the researcher used questionnaire and interview technique as the research instrument. Then, to analizing data the researcher used technique developed by miles and huberman (2014), there are data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing and verification. The result of this study shows that there are five factors affects students' anxiety in speaking namely lack of confidence, low familiarity of tasks, low English proficiency, fear of making mistakes and incomprehensible inputs. Then the second finding is the most dominant factor caused the students’ speaking anxiety. The researcher found that the most dominant anxiety factor was the lack of familiarity of task. The last finding of this reasearch is the students’ solution to overcome the anxiety when speak english. The most of students have several way to overcome their anxiety such as almost the students still continued to speak as best they could. However, it was slightly different from several of the student who answered that they were trying to calm down for a moment and then continued talking and also a little student answered that they were trying to continue by lowering their voice. This explanation suggests that not only the teacher should make an attempt to create a friendly learning atmosphere which gives students more comfortable situations in their learning activity but also the awareness of students who must continue to learn, explore themselves in order to reduce fear when speaking English. Comfortable situation also makes teaching and learning activities in speaking class can run well.
