Fitria, Rizqi. 2025. . 2025. An Analysis of Factors Contributing to Speaking Skill Among Second Semester English Students at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro. Skripsi, English Education Department, Faculty of Languange and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Advisor (I) Fitri Nurdianingsih, M.pd., (II) Dr. Refi Ranto Rozak, M.pd. This study explores the factors influencing the speaking skills of second-semester students in the English Education Department at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro. The main focus is on psychological, linguistic, and external factors, such as anxiety, limited vocabulary, ineffective teaching methods, and a lack of speaking practice opportunities. The aim of the research is to identify these barriers and provide solutions to support the development of speaking skills and improve the effectiveness of the English language curriculum. A qualitative approach was employed using a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 students, classroom observations of speaking activities, and documentation of learning processes. Thematic analysis was used, including data reduction, categorization, and interpretation. Data validity was ensured through methodological triangulation, member checking, and audit trails. The findings reveal that psychological factors such as anxiety and self-confidence, linguistic factors such as vocabulary and grammar mastery, and external factors such as limited speaking practice and lack of English-speaking environments are interrelated and significantly impact students' speaking abilities. Students with high motivation and strong learning support demonstrated more noticeable progress. The study concludes that a balanced approach is essential for improving speaking skills, including active student engagement, interactive teaching methods, and institutional support. Keywords: speaking skill, influencing factors, second-semester students
