This paper investigates the difficulties that encounter students in speaking skill. The vast number of students are unable to speak English clearly and find speaking skill challenging. Therefore, this study aims to recognize and understand the difficulties encountering students in speaking skill. In order to do this, the researchers conducted an interview and a questionnaire as an instrument for both teachers and students respectively. The results of the study showed that students faced some problems in speaking such as lack of vocabulary, lack of confidence, shyness and the influence of the mother tongue.
