Abstract

Globally, educators work to ensure that students have a solid foundation in English language proficiency, including speaking abilities. The lecturer tries hard to create a comfortable and fun environment for the students in the speaking class. Yet, sometimes there is a misleading between the perception of the lecturer and the student’s point of view in the definition of fun speaking class. This study aims to explore the student's perception of a fun speaking class. 14 students of engineering students participated in this study. The researcher used a qualitative method and used a questionnaire and an observation as the instruments. The study found that engineering students have various perceptions toward a fun speaking class, starting from the environment, lecturer, the technology used, and material choice. In addition, the students like direct conversation in speaking class.
