Statement of The Problem
Since English is a universal language, most students especially grade ten (10) are not familiar with it
(Hetrakul, 1995). Kavin Hetrakul also said that they use English more frequent only inside the class and
less frequent outside the class. Whereas, students’ have limited time to learn English in class, and they
still do not have enough encouragement to practice English outside the class in order to get familiar with
English. This case brings a problem that make grade ten (10) students have difficulties to communicate in
English. This article will analyze the causes that make the students difficult to communicate in English
and suggest some solutions that can overcome the difficulties. The main goal of teaching speaking is
communicative efficiency. Teaching speaking means helping learners develop their ability to interact
successfully in the target language. To do so, one must have communicative competence. Richards, Platt,
and Weber (as cited in Nunan, 1999, p. 226) defined the characteristics of communicative competence
as: Thus, to help students enhance their speaking skills, the teacher must help students improve their
grammar, enrich their vocabulary, and manage interactions in terms of who says what, to whom, when,
and about what.
