An Analysis of Students Confidence Level in English Public Speaking Through Group Discussion Learning Strategy
Abstract
Abstract— Confidence is an important psychological construct that refers to a person's belief in his or her ability to succeed in a given situation or complete a task. It encompasses a positive perception of oneself and one's abilities, which significantly influences performance in a variety of circumstances, including academic and social contexts. Research shows that self-confidence is a predictor of success and a facilitator of effective communication, especially in language learning environments. In the context of language acquisition, self-confidence can increase students' willingness to engage in speaking activities, thus improving their overall proficiency. This chapter outlines the qualitative research approach employed in this study, which aims to assess the self-confidence levels of 11th-grade students at MAN 2 Bojonegoro in English public speaking through group disc ussion learning strategies. The qualitative paradigm is particularly suitable for this research as it allows for an in-depth exploration of students' experiences, perceptions, and feelings regarding their confidence in public speaking. The researcher was motivated by a desire to understand the dynamics of language learning and the factors that influence students' confidence in speaking English. The researcher's experience in educational settings has highlighted the important role that confidence plays in language acquisition. So Based on this background the researcher would like to choose the title “An Analysis of Students Confidence Level in Speaking English through Group Discussion Learning Strategy”.
