Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between EFL learners’ self-identity andtheir speaking skills in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Grounded in Norton’s theory of identity and Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, thisresearch employs a quantitative correlational design to examine the statistical association between learners’ self-identity and their speaking performance. Theparticipants were undergraduate students of the English Education Study Programat the University of Lampung enrolled in a speaking class during the 2025/2026academic year. Data were collected using a self-identity questionnaire comprisingLikert-scale and open-ended items, alongside a storytelling-based speakingperformance test assessed with the Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency (CAF)framework proposed by Mahpul (2014). Quantitative data were analyzed usingPearson Product-Moment correlation, while qualitative responses were examined through content analysis to explore learners’ perceptions of their identity as Englishusers. The findings indicate that students generally possess a moderate level of self-identity, and their speaking performance is relatively consistent. However, thecorrelation analysis revealed a very weak and statistically insignificant relationshipbetween self-identity and speaking skill. These results suggest that self-identityfunctions more as a background factor influencing learners’ attitudes and engagement rather than directly predicting speaking performance. Consequently, EFL instruction should not only develop linguistic competence but also provideidentity-affirming and emotionally supportive learning environments to encouragestudents’ active participation and confidence in speaking. Keywords: Self-Identity, Speaking Skill, EFL Learners, Affective Factors, Identity Theory.
