Abstract
As a foreign language and a medium for global engagement, the ability to communicate effectively in English is one of the most essential skills for university students in Indonesia. However, speaking in English remains one of the most challenging competencies to master due to psychological, linguistic, and environmental factors. This study investigates the learning strategies employed by EFL learners at one public university in Jambi in improving their English-speaking skill, using a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with five English Education students at a public university in Jambi. Their results of the study revealed that motivation, self-confidence, peer interaction, media exposure, and consistent practice are key strategies that support their speaking development. The findings highlight the importance of integrating both cognitive and socio-affective strategies in English speaking pedagogy and suggest the need for supportive learning environments that encourage authentic communication.
