- This study was intended to examine the correlation between students’ self – esteem and their English speaking competencies at a Senior High School in Cimahi. Sixty two students of eleventh grade were involved.

The scores were calculated in IBM SPSS 22 to find out the correlation of the two variables. The findings showed there was a positive significant correlation between students’ self – esteem and their English speaking competencies at the moderate level. This study concluded that self – esteem is taken into consideration to students’ achievement in speaking English.
