learners (ELM) frequently focus on improving this aspect of 
communication (Lafford, 2004, Richards & Richards 
Renandya, 2002).
Despite many years of language education and the 
use of many teaching strategies and approaches, speaking 
appears to be a difficult talent to cultivate Fulcher et al. (2007) 
in a foreign language context. Communicating in a foreign 
language can be a highly complicated and multifaceted ability 
(Khan, 2010).
Although the admirable goal of learning a foreign 
language is to communicate in that language effectively, 
scholars observed that ESL learners have formidable 
challenges in communicating in English. Many researchers 
have explored the complexities of oral communication in a 
second language (L2) (Ellis et. al 2003).
Hence, based on these studies and observations, the 
researchers had been interested in focusing on this concern. 
The researcher wants to know what challenges behind those 
screens that hinders students in English language studies. The 
researchers will try to identify what are the challenges the 
students experience that makes them struggle and will try to 
give implications and try to help the students and stakeholders 
in addressing these challenges.
1.1 English Language Studies 
In most countries where English is used as a second 
or foreign language, the English language has become an 
inseparable part of the educational curriculum in the twenty- 
first century (Akbari, 2015).
According to the official website of University of 
Melbourne, English language studies is concerned with the 
English Language in all its aspects including its structure, its 
diversity, how it changes and evolves, and how people learn 
and make use of it to communicate in a range of social 
situations and communication modes.
When one studies the English language, one will 
develop an understanding of its subtle and intricate grammar 
and learn about its many social and geographic varieties. One 
can choose from subjects in grammar, syntax and phonetics 
and can also learn about intercultural communication, wherein 
it analyzes the ways in which communicative approaches 
differ across cultures. This can examine how social and 
cultural factors influence language and how language 
construct's identity.
According to the website of University of Georgia, 
language Studies is a combination of courses from various but 
related disciplines such as linguistics and languages. Students 
study one (or more) foreign languages and investigate how 
human communication and language work. Most college 
students take it, especially those pursuing a degree in a 
language.
Because stylistics represents the critical link between 
literature and English language studies in grammar, speech, 
and cognition, English language studies can help students 
negotiate style as both readers and writers. Some courses, such 
as history of the English language, ancient English, and 
American English, cover the subject of linguistic variation 
and change. It includes English grammar, lexicography, 
English language studies, and mistake analysis, second 
language acquisition, style, and language variation. 
1.2 Challenges of ESL Learners 
The English language is regarded as a global 
language, and learning it improves opportunities for 
employment, travel, higher education, and living standards 
(Harmer, 2001). English language teaching is a difficult task,
