Therefore, there are four skills in English that should be improve by the learners, there are reading, writing, listening and speaking. As the other skill speaking is one of the important that has to be mastered by students in learning English. According to Bahadorfar and Omidvar, (2004: 8) speaking is an important part of the teaching and learning process of a second language, which is the art of communication and is one of the four productive skills that must be understood in learning English. Speaking is an aspect that must be developed by someone who wants to master a language well. It is a way for people and especially students to share what their ideas, opinions, feelings and thoughts are. As a way of communicating, the important role of speaking is that students can learn English well. This shows how much learners understand speaking in English. Zyoud (2016: 8) stated that Speaking is one of the productive skills, which is evidence that a student is proficient in language. As an oral communication, speaking is a significant skill that student should improve. Student always expected to speak to their friends, parents, the teacher and their environments to share what they feel and thoughts. And in oral communication like speaking, they not just can ask and answering the question, but they also can transfer what they know about knowledge, what they learn, what they do and anything else. The students are expected to speak better, freely and even they will enjoy the activity when they speak with their friend or someone else.

Interest can be a motivation to guide student act to the direction.

Speaking
According to Widdowson, (1997:42) speaking is defined as use and mastery. Speaking, in the sense of use, focuses on either the manifestation of the phonological system or the grammatical system or both by means of the means of speech. In term of use, however, the act of speaking involves not only the production of sounds but also the use of gesture, the movement of the muscles of the face, and indeed of the whole body.
According to Byrne, (1976: 8) speaking is a two-way process. In the process of speaking a person does not only consider the informational content of what they are saying but also try to project their own ideas appropriately and effectively, and present themselves to the world of the listeners in a way which engages their attention. Speaking ability is indeed an important aspect in learning a certain language.
However, Glenn ( 2003: 22) Stated speaking is a process that is taken for granted, which is learned as it is through socialization and communication processes . In addition, to reach a high achievement of speaking ability, learner must practice more and more. Like writing, speaking is a complex skill requiring the simultaneous use of a number of different abilities, which often develop at the different rates. Either four or five components are generally recognized in analyzing the speech process.

a. Pronunciation and intonation
b. Grammar (accuracy) On the other hand, there is difference between spoken language and written language in some respects. In contrast to the written language, where sentences are carefully structured and linked together, speech is characterized by incomplete and sometimes ungrammatical utterances and by frequent start and repetitions. Byrne, (1976: 8) For the purposes of most day-to-day talk, however, the grammar that is required is not as complex nor need be as accurate as the grammar that is required for writing.

The Elements of speaking
There are some elements in speaking that have to be considered by the speakers as follow: a. Pronunciation The outer manifestation of speech is sound. The speaker must first decide what to say, be able to articulate the words, and create the physical sounds that carry meaning. According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, pronunciation is the way in which a word is pronounced, the way a person speaks the word of a language. In saying these words, students regularly have problems distinguishing sounds in new languages that do not exist in a language they have previously known. Problems with pronunciation may irritate the listener but rarely cause miscommunication or a misunderstanding Glenn (2003: 28) b. Grammar H. Douglas Brown (2001: 362) affirms that grammar is a system of rules governing the conventional arrangement and relationship of word in a sentence. In popular use, the term "grammar" describes what people-usually native speakers-ought or ought not to say or write. This is called prescriptive grammar because it prescribes correct usage.

c. Vocabulary
"Vocabulary is defined as the "words" in foreign language.
building blocks upon which knowledge of a second language can be built. Words are perceived as the

The Goal of Speaking
The main goal in teaching the productive skill of speaking will be oral fluency: the ability to express oneself intelligibly, because the listener loses interest or gets impatient) reasonably accurately and without undue hesitation (otherwise communication may break down. To attain this goal, the students will have to be brought from the stage where they merely imitate a model respond to cues to the point where they can use the language to express their own ideas. According to Brown and Yule to cope with basic interactive skills like exchanging greetings and thanks and apologies, and to "express his needs" -request information, service etc the intention of teaching speaking is that the students should be able to "express himself" in the target language. Brown ( 1997: 122).

Definition of interest in Learning English
When someone did some activities such as studying or other activities, he/she has to have a good reason to make him/her sure that the activities could be successful. It concludes that he is interested in that activity. Many people fail to understand the true meaning of the term "interest".

The Roles of interest
Interest is a popular term in psychology because its relations to many terms. It has an important role in teaching and learning process. Related to the statement above, Crow and Crow (1999: 248) said interest may refer to the motivating force that impels students to attend to a person, a thing, or an activity. In other words, interest is as a power to force students to learn. Someone who has interest in speaking will be forced to learn and practice it. But, someone who has no interest in speaking will have no motivated to learn moreover have no motivated to practice it.
