Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the speaking skills of BSED Mathematics students. The study used a descriptive-correlational research design. The researchers used a quota sampling design. Out of 62 BSED Mathematics students, the researchers chose 40 BSED Mathematics students of Notre Dame of Midsayap College as the respondents. In this study, students are not confident in speaking English and are not fluent in English. Findings revealed that the fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, and lack of confidence hindered them from speaking in English classes. However, most students believe that motivating them to be more confident in speaking English is worth considering, reading more scholarly books, putting more effort into learning, and giving more time to study. In conclusion, students' speaking skills have been affected by affective and cognitive factors such as shyness to speak the English language, the fear of making mistakes, the lack of self- confidence, and the anxiety students feel when speaking the English language. The students must surmount the factors that impede their speaking skills to learn and improve them.
