“…They struggled to communicate fluently because of their lack of English vocabulary. Respondents were urged to combine various local languages and dialects with English in order to ensure that their meanings, intentions, or views were understood (Nor et al, 2019). Students' lack of speaking competency is caused by psychological issues, inefficient management, and the influence of teachers' and peers' motivation on their own, according to a study done by Rusli et al (2018).…”

Speaking is a useful language ability that allows speakers and listeners to engage in oral communication for the purpose of transferring and sharing information and developing long-term relationships. English is one of those languages that has the global demand for learners from varied L1 origins at all levels of communication. However, ESL students' developing speaking skills are always regarded as complex and challenging, requiring a great deal of effort to maintain. This article presents a comprehensive overview of published studies of the challenges of ESL learners speaking English from 2014 to 2021 in the Malaysian classroom. This systemic review addresses two questions of research, i.e., what are the challenges faced by ESL learners in Malaysia to speak English and what are the effective strategies to overcome the speaking challenges among the ESL learners? A total of fifteen studies were reviewed in depth. The findings show that ESL students experience both internal and external challenges to speaking English. The findings also reveal useful strategies for overcoming learners' difficulties in speaking the language. The limitations of previous studies were examined in greater depth, as well as future research and practice directions.The study may provide useful information for ESL teachers, English supervisors, administrators, Ministry of Education officials, and, most importantly, learners in the development of speaking abilities.

“…All these issues related to literature made the teaching and learning of English in general difficult and uninteresting, thus leading to poor English competency among Malaysian students. The issue of poor English proficiency among Malaysian learners has been reported by Nor et al (2019), in which students generally have their own respective problems in mastering all four language skills: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. This issue could dampen the nation's aspiration in producing well-rounded individuals that are able to compete and thrive in the globally competitive world.…”

Learning English is already a challenging task, and when it comes to studying literature in English, the difficulty level increases even further. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is conducted to identify important challenges in the teaching and learning of English literature. The whole process of conducting this SLR followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. PRISMA is a graphical representation of the complete process of doing a systematic review and meta-analysis, including the search for relevant articles, the filtering of them based on certain criteria, and the assessment of their quality. The results show that the factors can be categorised into three: student-related challenges, teacher-related challenges, and external-related challenges. This paper reports the key gap and limitations in current study that focuses on the challenges in the teaching and learning of English literature.

“…The subject is unfavoured due to the language complexities and comprehension difficulties (Zulkefly & Razali, 2017). Students with poor attitude tend to have problems with different areas in the target language and it was reflected in their examination performance (Mohd Nor et al, 2019). Due to the situation, this paper is aimed to investigate the language attitude secondary school students in ESL classrooms in one of the rural secondary schools in Sarawak in terms of cognitive, affective, and conative aspects.…”
