Abstract
This study aimed to explore the factors that caused 12th-grade students of
SMAN 2 Payakumbuh speaking difficulties. The researcher chose 12th-grade social
science students as the sample of 30 students. In collecting the data, the researcher
used speaking tests in the form of role-play and interview. From the data analysis, the
researcher found some conclusions about students’ speaking difficulties at SMAN 2
Payakumbuh as follows: first, in linguistic factors, the researcher found that the
students’ speaking ability was poor. They were lack of vocabulary, pronunciation,
grammar, and fluency. Second, in non-linguistic factors the causes of the problem
that students faced speaking were the students' inhibition in speaking, having nothing
to say, low participation, and mother tongue influence. The findings for linguistic
factor, to alleviate the linguistic factors, the teacher should teach and explain the
speaking aspect such as grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation to the students. For
non-linguistic aspect teachers provide students with more encouragement in speaking
and should be more creative when presenting a lesson. In addition, for the board of
the school, it is hoped the school can provide appropriate English teaching facilities
to improve the quality of English learning.
