English has become the most important language in the world. Speaking is deemed to be the most important in learning a second or foreign language. This research aimed to examine the factors that influence the students reticence in speaking class. The researcher chose to use a qualitative method. This research used the questionnaire from Chowdhury, known as Reticence Scale-12 or RS-12. The researcher also interviewed the students to get the data. From these interviews, researchers found factors that influence students willingness to speak English in class. From the questionnaire given to 78 students, it was found that the second semester students experienced reticence. It is proven that 60.3% of respondents agree that they are nervous when speaking in English, even though they actually really care and have the desire to compete in the speaking class. There are two factors of students’ reticence, namely internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are factors that come from the students themselves. Lack of self-confidence and lack of fluency become the main focus in students internal factors. External factors consist of the roles of parents, classmates, and lecturers.
