%X Since language is a means of communication, therefore the success of English  learning is determined generally by the speaking ability. Nowadays, although learners  have learned English for years, many of them are still incapable to use English orally.  These may be caused by the limitation of opportunity to practice, lack of vocabulary,  or psychological factors which more concern to the fear of making mistakes when  speaking English. One of factors that make the students fail in learning English is  because of having low motivation. As we know that motivation identifies as primarily  with the learner’s orientation toward of learning a second language.
