Exploring Linguistic And Psychoogical Challenges Of English Department Students In Speaking
English speaking ability is one of the essential skills for English Department students. However, many students still struggle to speak confidently and effectively despite years of formal study. This study aims to explore the linguistic and psychological challenges that hinder students’ speaking performance. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving six sixth-semester students as participants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students faced various linguistic difficulties, including limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, incorrect pronunciation, lack of fluency, and poor comprehension. Psychological factors such as low selfconfidence, speaking anxiety, fear of making mistakes, and fluctuating motivation were also identified as significant obstacles. In response to these challenges, students demonstrated personal efforts to improve their speaking skills, such as expanding their vocabulary, using digital media, practicing in front of a mirror, and relying on feedback from their environment. The results suggest that developing speaking competence is not solely dependent on language mastery, but also requires emotional readiness, consistent practice, and supportive learning conditions. This study recommends that educators provide low-anxiety classroom environments that encourage risk-taking and help students build confidence in using English actively.
