Abstract

Permasalahan mahasiswa dalam kemampuan berbahasa inggris menjadi tembok besar bagi mereka yang ingin mempelajari bahasa inggris, terutama kemampuan berbicara. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk mendeskripsikan permasalahan yang dihadapi mahasiswa Bahasa Inggris lokal B Semester tiga tahun angkatan 2016. Peneliti mengumpulkan data dengan observasi yang ditulis dalam bentuk field note, dan interview. Data dikumpulkan mulai Desember 2017 hingga Januari 2018. Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa Bahasa Inggris semester tiga tahun angkatan 2016. Interview melibatkan tiga mahasiswa yang dipilih berdasarkan sesi observasi Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa masalah seperti kurangnya penguasaan kata, salah pengucapan, dan salah pelafalan menjadi masalah utama yang dihadapi oleh mereka, dengan penyebab masalah tersebut adalah kurangnya kepercayaan diri. Ini terlihat dari penampilan beberapa mahasiswa, juga dari interview itu sendiri. Hal ini bisa disimpulkan bahwa, mahasiswa dari kelas tersebut memiliki masalah dalam berbicara yang membuat mereka tidak bisa tampil dengan baik dihadapan teman-teman dan dosen mereka. Peneliti khawatir, jika permasalahan mereka tidak bisa diperbaiki hingga semester yang lebih tinggi, akan membuat mereka kesulitan menghadapi mata kuliah yang levelnya lebih tinggi seperti PPL, KKN, dan bahkan Skripsi. Di sini, tindakan dari mahasiswa maupun dosen sangatlah diperlukan.
