Koesoemo Ratih
There are many problems that come out in the effort of acquiring skill of speaking a second and foreign language. Those can come from either the outside of learners or inside of the learners. One of the problems coming from the inside is lacking of extroversion. It is assumed that extroversion is one aspect constructing personality which influences second language learning especially in gaining speaking skill. Extroversion is beneficial for the learners since it provides chance for them to practice speaking. Therefore, there should be efforts that enable the second language learners to take advantages that characterize extroversion. In the teaching and learning process teachers need to lead them to the favor of extroversion.
