This research is qualitative. The data collecting technique used interviews. The result indicated that there are many challenges in speaking for introverted students. It is because they must face many difficulties to do well performance in speaking class.

Based on the interview, all introverted students have the same strategy in gaining good performance in speaking class namely well preparation before performing in speaking class. They do a lot of practice before performing in speaking class.
