It is caused by some factors, which are the lack of role models, vocabulary mastery, and inability of brainstorming ideas. an appropriate technique is needed to solve these problems. One of the techniques is “self-talk” technique. This technique helps both teacher and students to built the interaction. In this technique, teacher explains what they are doing. The teacher will provide list of vocabularies to describe what they are doing. This technique is expected to help students in speaking, because speaking starts after listening.
