Abstract

Speaking skills is an essential language skill to be mastered by students. However, many students still encounter difficulties in speaking English. Internal and external factors cause problems with speaking skills. Some issues are lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes, less classroom speaking activities, and lack of exposure to English. This study aims to enhance students’ confidence in speaking English through the English on Stage Program. This study employed a mixed-method research design. The participants of this study were students of the International Class at the Nursing Department in Poltekkes Kemenkes Yogyakarta. The qualitative data were collected from interviews, observation, and documentation. Meanwhile the quantitative data were gathered from questionnaires. The data were then analyzed descriptively using both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The performances in the English on Stage program included singing songs, reading poems, telling stories, and delivering a speech.
