Speaking Problems Encountered by EFL Students

24 The second problem formulation is about the strategy and the development of the speaking confidence which are maintained through the implementation of Sidang Akademi in Pangudi Luhur Van Lith Senior High School. In order to answer the second research question, the theory of speaking established by Nunan 1999 assists the exploration of the case about speaking skill since the study explores the implementation of the speaking activity. The researcher presents the development of speaking confidence established by Goel 2012 in order to give the information about the effect of speaking confidence development towards self-concept. The concept of speaking problems composed by Tuan and Mai 2015 and Mukminin et al. 2015 presents the problems encountered by the EFL students in developing the speaking confidence. These problems which are presented beforehand will likely be similar to the problems encountered by the third-grade students in Pangudi Luhur Van Lith Senior High School. The speaking problems, in fact, inhibit the students to develop speaking skills. The answer to the second research question will elaborate the variable in the proposition which is the development of speaking confidence. In presenting this variable, the researcher also establishes the discussion about the strategy maintained by the students and the development of the speaking confidence as the result of Sidang Akademi implementation. 25 Figure 2.2: The Relationships of Variables of the Study and Research Questions The Design of the Activity Sidang Akademi The Development of Speaking Confidence RQ 1: How is Sidang Akademi Academic Preliminary Meeting implemented in Pangudi Luhur Van Lith Senior High School?
