that affects students’ English public speaking skills and to discover the students’ strategies in 
developing their self-efficacy. Moreover, this research is conducted among fourth semester of public 
speaking students consisting of 32 participants. In this case, the researchers used a descriptive 
qualitative method to analyse this phenomenon by applying a domain-specific sources of EPS self-efficacy questionnaire adapted from Zhang et al. in which the data was classified using a frequency
Likert scale. The research finding reveals that the main source of self-efficacy that affects students’ 
public speaking skills is the Psychological and Affective States. Another finding also shows that 
varied strategies are elaborated in order to develop self-efficacy, such as getting the assistance from 
teacher’s feedback, finding friends as role model, being noticed by peers, and being able to control
