Abstract

Speaking strategy is the way students overcome their problems in speaking. They are defined as a means of solving problems in speaking used by the second and the foreign language learners in order to achieve a particular communicative goal (Faerch and Kasper, 1983). Students’ speaking strategies may vary. The students with low level ability may use more strategies rather than the middle or high level students. They are 12 speaking strategies that may be used by the students, some of them are: students are trying to translate from their native language into English; production “blocking” is occurring due to nervousness, the speaker is looking for a specific word, rather than using simple language to describe what is meant, etc. (Lopez,2011). This research discovers the speaking strategies used by students and how they applied it. Based on the research, it found that the students’ speaking ability influences their speaking strategies. The students who have low levels of speaking ability speak differently from the students who have middle or high level of speaking ability.
