Students' inactivity in learning English can be influenced by two factors,
including internal and external factors. However, each student has a different
background that may cause them to be inactive when learning. Therefore, the
researcher raised the title "Factors affecting student inactivity in English classes"
with the aim of being able to find out what are the factors that affect the inactivity
of SMP 35 Makassar students in English classes so that they can reduce these
factors.
The reason the researcher conducted the research in junior high school is
because in school English learning is one of the lessons that must be passed by
students, if students continue to be inactive in English classes then students will feel
difficulties in the future. The research method used in this research is quantitative
method. The population in this study was all class VIII (SMP 35 Makassar) and the
sample was 15 class VIII students.
The result of the study found that both factors (Internal & external)
influenced students' inactivity in English class. Internal factors that influence
students' inactivity are their lack of confidence when speaking English, they are
afraid of being wrong when using English, most students do not dare to perform in
front of the class because of nervousness and tension, lack of English development
outside the classroom, and the lack of vocabulary they have. While the external
factors that influence students' inactivity in class are the classroom that is not
comfortable and clean.
