CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A.    Background of the Problem
Speaking is one of the four language skill which is important in language learning. Among the four skils (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), speaking seems intuitively the most important : people who know a language are referred to as “speakers” of that language, as if speaking included all other kinds of knowing[1]. Speaking has many advantages such as  though speaking, the students can share their opinions, they can communicate with others in speaking, they can find new friend if they have good communication. Hence, speaking becomes really important to be learnt by the students to develop their English skill.
Speaking is the way to express thought and feeling. According to Nunan speaking is the productive aural/oral skill. [2] It consist of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning. It means, speaking speaking is how to produce the language, especially in English fluently, and accuracy.
Speaking is crucial skill which is needed to be learned in learning English. However, there are many students who still have some difficulties to speak English. Penni Ur states that students are often inhibited about trying to say thing in foreign language, worrying about making mistake, fearful of criticism or losing face, or simply shy of the attention that their speech attracts, they have no motivate to express themselves beyond the guilty feeling that they should be speaking. Moreover, as M. Bailey Kathleen states many people feel that speaking in a new language is harder than reading, writing, or listening for two reasons. First, unlike reading or writing, speaking happens in real time : usually the person who you are talking to is waiting for you to speak right then. Second, when you speak, you cannot edit and revise what you wish to say, as you can if you are writing. It means that spaking is more difficult than other skills in English language skill. Because, of that reason most of the students get problem and difficulties in speaking English. 
In speaking, one of the factor which influence the learners is motivation. Motivation is important one that encourages effort so that students can achieve their goal for successful in speaking. Harmer adds that motivation is essential to success that people have to want to do something to successes at it. Without such motivation people will almost certainly fail to make the necessary effort. [3]In short, motivation is one of the important factors that influence students’ speaking process.
Moreover, motivation is affective factors that will influence students’ performance in speaking English. In this case, motivation is categorized into two factors; they are intrinsic and extrinsic factor. Intrinsic motifation is categorized by the students’ participation in English speaking. Extrinsic motivation is characterized by behavior in order to attain some external reward or avoid external punishment. Hence, intrinsic motivation comes from inside of oneself whereas extrinsic motivation is coused by any number of outside factors.
Based on the writter’s observation at the tenth grade in PondokPesantrenTarbiyahIslamiyahGobah Limo SurauTilatangKamang, the researcher find that there are several problems on speaking skill. First, most of the students are lazy to speak English well during teaching and learning. This case can be seen when the teacher speaks English to the students, they are only silent and can’t give response to the teacher. The students often left the class when the teacher give a task to speak in front of class. Many students considered that speak in front of class is something strange, because of that they often left the class. Second, Most students couldn’t speak English actively and fluently in the classroom because they did not have knowledge and bravery to speak. Then, they also did not achieve satisfactority English performance, such as unconfident to speak English.   To conlude, there are three problems that researcher found at ten grade in PondokPesantrenTarbiyahIslamiyahGobah Limo Surau  which refer to motivation  to speaking English.
In accordance the description above, this research was describing about dominant factors that influence students’ motivation in speaking English.
