Further, the result of t-test showed  ( 1,76 ) is higher than t-table ( 1.684 ) with the degree of freedom (df) = 95 at the significant level  = 0. 05. It mean that the alternative Hypothesis  ( Ha) was accepted and Null Hypothesis  was rejected . and  then there is correlation between students self-confidence and their speaking ability, it was found in experimental group r-test showed r is higher than the r table (r= 0,791 ≥ r_t = 0, 444) and  for control group r-test showed r is higher than the r table ( r =  0, 482 ≥ r_t = 0, 0,444).
