Abstract

Speaking is one of the most important skills to be developed and enhanced as
means of effective communication. However, many students do not have enough motivation
to practise speaking English though motivation is one of the vital factors determining the
success or failure of language learning. This paper aims to discuss factors affecting firstyear
engineering students’ motivation in practising English speaking skills at College of
Urban Works Construction (CUWC). The participants were 90 first-year engineering
students and 8 English teachers. The findings showed that there were four groups of factors
that affect students’ motivation: (1) Students’ factors; (2) Teachers’ factors; (3) Classroom
factors; (4) Other factors. Besides, some suggestions on how to promote the motivation in
practising English speaking skills for engineering students of CUWC were given
