This research attempts to uncover the challenges students face in presenting their opinions among 10th grade Office Management – 2 Class or MP 2 students of SMK PGRI 2 Kediri. Besides, this research investigates the underlying causes of the issues and the strategies used by students to overcome their problems. The problems are divided into two primary problems that fall under two factors: internal and external factors. The first problem is psychological problems; the problems found are fear of not being accepted, nervousness, lack of confidence, and shyness. At the same time, linguistic problems are inadequate English proficiency and pronunciation problems. This study was conducted in SMK PGRI 2 Kediri and employed a descriptive qualitative method. The sample comprised 10th grade Office Management Student 2 (Manajemen Perkantoran), which consists of 34 students. The data were collected by conducting observation, distributing questionnaires, and interviewing. This study discovers that students encountered problems while presenting their opinions. Various problems hinder the students from presenting their opinions in EFL class. Fear of not being accepted, lack of confidence, nervousness, shyness, and shyness are the leading causes of English language learning difficulties. Fear of poor evaluations, poor English ability, and mistakes in grammar, pronunciation, or opinion content contribute to these fears. Low selfconfidence and lack of confidence can lead to shyness and pronunciation problems. Nervousness stems from fear of mistakes, lack of confidence, and preparation. Friends and teachers influence shyness, fear of being laughed at, and low self-confidence. The researcher also discovered the strategies used by students in overcoming their problems, such as positive thinking, learning the material again, calming down, being confident, trying to focus, practicing writing and speaking, asking for friends help, and reassuring themselves.
