that affects most of the Indonesians? English speaking performance in order to
propose some solutions to overcome the problem. This study used a descriptive

English for their undergraduate program had been the population of this study.
The researcher also purposefully selected some Applied Linguistics master
program students in English education at YSU to act as research samples. So, after
having analyzed the collected data from those participants by using some
observations tools to find out the barriers students face in English speaking
performance, it was clear that most of those students?s desire is to speak English
as well as they speak their first language. Unfortunately, most of them showed
increased levels of anxieties. Although most of the students think that they have a
good level of vocabulary or grammar, they also keep on feeling insecure while
speaking. Most of the barriers were: being worried of making mistakes, feeling
shy, and feeling frustrated while performing in English speaking. Finally, the
researcher has proposed some solutions that are expected to be significant
remedies to overcome the problems mentioned above.
