Abstract

This research seeks to examine the determinants of English learners' deficiency in confidence when speaking English. It also seeks to outline the measures that may be employed to address English learners' deficiency in speaking confidence. This research is qualitative in nature. This research was undertaken at Ar-Raniry State Islamic University. This study concentrated on collecting data from sixth-semester students of the English Education Department as research participants. Researchers employed interviews to gather data. The data analysis methodology has three phases: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion formulation. The research findings indicate that the reasons contributing to pupils' lack of self-confidence include insufficient vocabulary, inadequate pronunciation, limited grammatical understanding, and a deficiency in self-belief. Potential techniques to address students' lack of confidence in speaking English include self-talk, engagement in English-speaking communities, utilization of speaking applications, and constant, focused practice
