Abstract : This study looks at the effectiveness of English clubs in developing English speaking abilities
among EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students in Indonesia, specifically at the Faculty of
Information Technology, University of BSI PSDKU Kota Tasikmalaya. This study employed a descriptive
qualitative approach to investigate the implementation of the English Club to assist students in speaking
English and motivate them to practice it. The difficulties are when some words are difficult to read and
English is not practiced enough daily. Participants included student members of the English club in the
information systems department, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected
through observation and interviews and The qualitative data was evaluated using Miles and
Huberman’s interactive and continuous approaches. The study found that English club activities
greatly improved students’ motivation, self-confidence, active involvement, and speaking skills when
learning English. What deserves special attention is the progress observed in the classroom during
classroom learning. This study concludes that the English club is a fascinating and successful teaching
approach that has a significant impact on the English students’ speaking proficiency.
