THE CONTRIBUTION OF PEER, FAMILY, AND INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT TO FIRST-SEMESTER ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDENTS’ SPEAKING PERFORMANCE IN INFORMAL INTERACTIONS CLASS AT SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
This study aimed to investigate the contribution of peer support, family support, and institutional support to first-semester English Education students’ speaking performance in the Informal Interactions class at Sriwijaya University and to identify the strongest contributing factor. This quantitative study employed multiple regression analysis involving 102 first-semester English Education students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a 40-item Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption testing, and multiple regression analysis through SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that peer support, family support, and institutional support simultaneously contributed significantly to students’ speaking performance. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.717) showed that 71.7% of the variance in speaking performance was explained by the three variables, while 28.3% was influenced by other factors. Peer support contributed the most (β = 0.427), followed by family support (β = 0.395) and institutional support (β = 0.227). These findings highlight the importance of strengthening social and educational support systems to enhance students’ speaking performance. Keywords: Peer Support, Family Support, Institutional Support, Speaking Performance, Informal Interactions, English Education Students.
