Benefits of Self Confidence in Public Speaking for Students (original) (raw)

In the era of globalization we had some form of progress, especially developments in the world of education. People not be required to just search knowledge by developing potential academically and non-academically with the usual standards. For example, a student studying by attending school or university take a absent and has a passive role in the learning process. However, a student is required to be active in the learning process at school. Concrete forms of student activity in learning process at school, namely students are able to communicate with teachers in the classroom, are able to communicate with friends in class, and are able to demonstrate the abilities of these individuals in the academic and non-academic fields. This is also supported by the opinion of Ellit (in Salama, 2014) who argues that communication has an important role for students in the learning process and expected behavior, interpersonal relationships between students and teachers, relationships between students and other students and the delivery of instructions such as asking , praising, convincing, informing and giving individual feedback. In order for interpersonal communication between academics, good self confidence is needed. Of course not all students have good self-confidence. Self-confidence is needed by students in conveying ideas or arguments related to the learning process in the classroom, with this argument being able to develop academic potential in school and have good academic achievement. Moreover, many learning methods are done more at the student center where students are more active than teachers, such as the method of presentation, discussion, and skills so students are required to be able to speak well in front of the class. Angelis (2003: 5) Argues that self-confidence is a belief in one's soul that any life challenge must be faced with doing something. Confidence is an attitude or feeling of confidence that a person has to his own abilities, so that he will not be affected by others (Lauster, 2006: 4). Students who have confidence in speaking in public are students who know that they have good skills in how to express their opinions in a straightforward manner and with good sentences. With the existence of self-confidence in the ability to speak, he is able to speak in public well.
