Issues Surrounding in a Speaking Class at Bangka Tengah

Abstract

A study conducted at State Vocational High School 2 Koba found that students struggle with speaking, with a preliminary score 58 points lower than the minimum requirement of 70. The research used a qualitative methodology and 25 items questionnaire, with four problematic factors identified as inhibition, having nothing to say, low engagement, and speaking in one's mother tongue. The findings suggest further discussion on this topic.
