Speaking is one of the most important skill in communication because any expression of thought that comes from mind can be conveyed by speaking. Nowadays, although speaking has been taught from Elementary school to Senior High School, many students are still incapable of speaking in English well. This may be caused by the limitation of opportunity to practice it, students’ lack of vocabulary, or students’ psychological factors, i.e. feeling fear of making mistakes when speaking in English. One of the factors that make the students fail to learn English is due to their low of motivation. As it is known, motivation is one of the factors that can influence the students’ ability in learning language. The lower the motivation they have in expressing their ideas, the lower the chance to be succesful in learning a foreign language especially in speaking. This research is quantitative by nature.
