Abstract

It was used a case study research design which employed two data collection techniques, namely: class observations and interviews. This study has indicated that the main difficulties encountered by student while speaking English were caused by linguistic factors, for instance: lack of vocabularies, poor pronunciation and lack of grammar knowledge. The second problem that students have while speaking English was caused by nonlinguistic factors (psychological factors), for instance: fear of making mistake, low motivation, shyness, anxiety, mother tongue use. However, the psychological factors contributed less than linguistics factors.
