THE CORRELATION BETWEEN PERSONALITY TRAITS, MOTIVATION LEVELS, AND SPEAKING PERFORMANCE AMONG PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS OF THE ENGLISH EDUCATION PROGRAM AT SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
Speaking proficiency is essential for EFL learners, impacting academic and professional success. This study examines the connection between personality traits, motivation levels, and speaking performance among 120 pre-service teachers of English Education at Sriwijaya University. It also investigates whether extroverts or introverts with their motivation levels exhibit better speaking performance. A non-experimental, quantitative correlational design was employed, with data collected via personality and motivation questionnaires and a speaking performance test. Results of correlation analysis (p = 0.640) and Two-way ANOVA results (p = 0.356 for Personality and p = 0.774 for Motivation) indicated no significant correlation between personality traits, motivation levels, and speaking performance. Although highly motivated extroverts (mean = 61.75) outperformed highly motivated introverts (mean = 61.68), and low-motivated extroverts (mean = 63.17) outperformed low-motivated introverts (mean = 60.96), the differences were not statistically significant. The findings suggest that linguistic competence, anxiety, and classroom dynamics may play a more significant role in speaking proficiency than personality and motivation alone. Future research should further explore these factors, and educators should focus on enhancing linguistic skills and reducing anxiety to improve speaking performance.
