Factor of Speaking Ability

Speaking ability constitutes one of language skills which is derived from learning result.All of thing has factor to influence that thing itself. Moreover, speaking ability also has factor. In general, there are two factors of the effect in learning process and learning result namely internal and external factor. Hasanah in Cahyono (1997: 2) explain two factors in the following:

a.       Internal Factor

 According to Purwanto (1985: 35) Internal factor is an element that effect learning process where this element exists on the learner and it is called entering behavior. There are some components of internal factor, for example: physical factor, intelligence factor, emotional factor, and talent.

1.     Physical factor

            Physical condition of people may affect in most his/her activities. For example, fat body may need longer movement then thin body. It means that, physical condition has very important role to capture knowledge and information. It is a place where the knowledge and information is processed. If the physical condition is in compliable, it can not receive knowledge and convey it to the others.

2.      Intelligence factor

            Intelligence constitutes a unique characteristics possessed by people. It is already exists since the infant was born. However, in its development it can not out from environment because it is one of the factors to shape the intelligence itself. For example, even the students have big potency, but if there is not any supports from his/her environment, the student intelligence is not maximum. It is in line with the above statement, it means that the development of person is determined by the characteristic factors to the person itself, so that this factor has importance roles in the development of their speaking ability.

3.      Emotional factor

            The happiness, safeness and afraid are kinds of emotions. It can give effect to his/her activities in learning process. The students can do everything enthusiastically as long as he/she feels happy and safe. So, the emotion of the learner is very influence.

b.      External Factor

             External factor constitutes a factor comes from outside of the learner. Referring to this problem, Paiman (1997: 249) states that the factors comes from outside of learner are non-social factor and social factor.

1.      Non-social factor

            Non-social factor consists of weather, times including morning, afternoon or night, condition of building and instruments used for learning. Those factors are very determined in learning and teaching process.

2.      Social factor

According to Purwanto (1987: 78) Social factor is things accepted or acquired from the community particularly in family environment. Most of students learn from out of school, he/she can acquires many things of how behaviors is shaped, how relationship is build up and how to know each other among the others.

       So, the social factor is the most importance factor which determined the development of the learners in term of behavior, relationship among the others.
