Abstract

Speaking is a productive language skill that requires learners to produce words or sentences with a correct language structure and a good pronunciation in a relatively short time compared to other productive skills. Thus, learners often encounter problems in speaking. This study aims to determine learners’ obstacles in speaking German as a Foreign Language. The research data were obstacles in speaking German that learners of German experienced as a Foreign Language Program in Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia. They were in the 4th semester and attended the Konversation (Conversation) class. The collection used an open questionnaire that resulted in qualitative data and was described descriptively. The study indicated that learners’ obstacles in speaking German are linguistic aspects (e.g., lack of grammar mastery, difficult German pronunciation, and lack of vocabulary). In addition, learners also experienced certain difficulties in memorizing, understanding, and to respond their speech partners, which also become obstacles in speaking German.
