This study is conducted qualitatively using a case study approach. The participants were grade 9th of a junior high school students. The data analysis was carried out using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2018, p. 74) that consists of data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing and verification. The findings showed that students have cognitive and psychological internal problems while they learn English speaking. The cognitive-related internal problems were English grammatical mastery, pronunciation issues, as well as vocabulary limitation. The psychologically-related internal problems that occur were fear of making mistakes, shyness, anxiety, lack of confidence, and lack of motivation. The findings regarding English speaking external problems do not come only from classroom management-related issues but also from school language policy. Students revealed that they mostly use memorization and cognitive strategy for direct learning strategies and socialization for indirect learning strategy.
