Citation: Al Hosni, Samira. Speaking difficulties encountered by young EFL learners, International journal on studies in English language and literature, 2(6): 22-30.
This journal article is discuss about the speaking difficulties faced by 5th grade elementary students in Oman. After I read this journal I can find some similarities faced by Oman students and Indonesia students about those speaking difficulties.
The researcher stated some factors caused 5th grade elementary students' difficulties in speaking. The first is inhibition, while speaking English the EFL learners are afraid if they are making mistakes. The second factor is the students are lack of motivation to express their feeling or ideas in English. The third is not all of the students got same chance to speak English in a class. The fourth is mother-tangue use, while in a teaching learning process of in a discussion the students rarely using English, they are using their own mother tongue to speak up; however, it is English lesson.
Actually, the caused not only come from the students, but it also comes from the teacher, the teaching strategies, and the curriculum. The teachers they have known that speaking is one of the important skills which should teach to the students, but the teacher just skip this part because the time to deliver the materials is not enough.
On the sixth point of this journal article, the researcher stated some advices to face the factors of the speaking difficulties, for example the teacher should give a training to combine the speaking skills and other skills, the teacher should insert the speaking task in his teaching learning process, not only reading and writing, because speaking is the most important skill in English.
This journal article gives me an illustration how to teach my future students. Before, I start to give them the material, I should know the difficulties faced by my future students, so I can prepare what kinds of method I should give to them and also I should include the speaking task in my class.
