The Effects of Learning Style Perceptions and Self-Efficacy on Students’ English-Speaking Skills
Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the effects of students’ perception of learning styles and self-efficacy on their English- speaking skills, both jointly and separately. The study was conducted at State Senior High Schools in Depok during the 2024/2025 Academic Year, using a survey method with 95 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and an English-speaking test. The findings revealed three main points: (1) perception of learning styles and self-efficacy together had a significant effect on English- speaking skills (Sig = 0.000 < 0.05, Fcount = 21.922); (2) perception of learning styles significantly influenced English-speaking skills (Sig= 0.000 < 0.05, tcount = 2.253); and (3) self-efficacy significantly affected English-speaking skills (Sig = 0.000 < 0.05, tcount = 6.437). These results emphasize the importance of enhancing self-efficacy and applying appropriate learning styles in teaching. The study provides meaningful insights for teachers, parents, school leaders, and policymakers to improve students’ English-speaking proficiency.
