Similar results were obtained by the indicator “8.

I can make presentation in

English Language.” (p=.000, r=.778) which indicates a strong relationship in

terms of correlation with the OECC. This suggests that the students who

believe they can make presentation in English had a more outstanding

performance than those who do not.

Meanwhile, the indicator “7. My grammar knowledge is good enough to

construct the sentences I want to say.” obtained a moderate to strong level of

correlation (p=.000, r=.635). This suggests that most students who perceived

that they have a satisfactory grammar knowledge also performed outstandingly

during the speaking test which further implies that grammar plays a vital role

in proficiently speaking English as one cannot properly construct sentences

without grammar knowledge.
