Abstract

Gurium, Yuniyati. 2025. The Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Speaking Skill Among Students of English Department. Skripsi, English Education Department, Faculty of Language and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (I) Dr. Ima Isnaini Taufiqur Rohmah,M.Pd., (II) Ayu Fitrianingsih, M.Pd. This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and English-speaking skills among second-semester English education students at a private university in Bojonegoro. The primary objective is to understand how self-efficacy influences students' confidence, participation, and performance in English speaking tasks. A qualitative approach was used, involving questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis, with data analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s framework. The validity of the findings was ensured through triangulation, member checking, peer review, and an audit trail. The results revealed that most students exhibited moderate self-efficacy in speaking English, with strengths in preparation and clarity, but challenges in managing anxiety and performing in advanced speaking contexts. Interviews showed that high self-efficacy was associated with better preparation and performance, while low self-efficacy was linked to anxiety and fear of making mistakes. This study found a relationship between self-efficacy and English-speaking skills, emphasizing that higher self-efficacy contributes to better speaking performance by reducing anxiety and improving preparation. Recommendations for students include regular speaking practice and self-reflection, while educators are encouraged to create supportive environments. Future research should explore interventions aimed at enhancing students' speaking self-efficacy to further improve their communicative competence. Keywords: Self-efficacy, speaking skills, English education, university students, language learning
