Abstract

English speaking is highly important for people nowadays due to the fact that English is recognized as a global language that is used all around the world. Additionally, it has a significant role to assist people in communicating with others in many aspects of life, including Indonesia. Universitas Negeri Semarang which encourages internationalization in its institution is expected to create students who have good English-speaking skills when they are going to apply for jobs after graduation. English is also important to be an answer for facing the rapid movement of digitalisation. Thus, this research aims to identify various mistakes often carried out by the students of the Faculty of Social Sciences as a non-English student department in speaking, so the factors which affect their performance in class will be analysed. This research used the descriptive-qualitative method by describing in depth the findings in data analysis based on the research findings. The data sources were in the form of video presentations in English and transcriptions of in-depth interviews with the students of Faculty of Social Sciences, Universitas Negeri Semarang. The research results show that there are various factors that influence the performance of English both linguistically and non-linguistically. The linguistic factor includes their grammar mistakes, lack of vocabulary, pronunciation and local accent. On the other hand, lack of motivation, confidence, and English knowledge also contributed to their anxiety in learning English in class, especially in speaking performance. After analysing those factors, an effective English learning solution can be implemented afterwards. A teacher as facilitator may assist the students in facing the difficulties using various teaching strategies which are suitable with the digital era nowadays.
