Abstract

This research investigates the relationship between students' motivation and their speaking performance among Grade IX students at SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Karanglewas, Banyumas. The primary aim is to determine whether a correlation exists between these two variables, utilizing a correlational method with a quantitative design. Data collection involved distributing questionnaires to assess student motivation, conducting oral tests to evaluate speaking performance, and observing classroom dynamics. The analysis revealed a correlation index of 0.201, indicating a medium level of correlation, suggesting that higher motivation is associated with improved speaking skills. Statistical tests confirmed the significance of this correlation, with a calculated t-value of 1.695 surpassing the critical t-value of 0.201 at a 5% significance level, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The findings emphasize the importance of fostering student motivation to enhance speaking performance and suggest that educators implement engaging activities to create a supportive learning environment. This study serves as a foundational reference for future research in this field, recommending larger sample sizes and extended durations for more robust findings.
