Therefore, this hinders their learning system, but the role of the teachers expects them to overcome the shortcomings of the learning system they live with in order to run smoothly. Facilities and infrastructure impact both teachers and students in teaching and learning. This school completes the facilities with supporting learning systems for students, but is damaged and is still in the repair phase.”124. Incomplete facilities are one of the major problems we face in this school, such as the lack of reference books and dictionaries that teachers and students use in teaching.”125.
Then the teachers must understand each character of their students, which makes it easier for both the teachers and students to transmit and receive the learning material. The teachers are responsible for paying attention to students and understanding the characteristics of each student, which are definitely different. Based on the data observation done by the researcher, most of the students have lack of learning habits and confidence when the teachers ask them to come forward to speak and lack of discipline in the learning process, which is a decisive factor is what hinders their learning system.
One of the biggest problems teachers face in teaching English is that students have nothing to say, no opinion, and no preparation to discuss something. From the difficulties that teachers encounter, they must overcome the obstacle with suitable and exciting strategies for the learning process of students. However, it is a natural part of the process of learning to speak and teachers should provide them with fluency and accuracy to correct them.

Based on the data from the observation conducted by the researcher found that teachers have a role to help develop student achievement in the learning process with creative activities in the classroom, such as interaction between teachers and students, students and students and tablemates, which are. The teaching-learning process is influenced by the relationship between teachers and students to actively participate in the development of communication in the classroom activity.
In addition, the teachers' strategies are critical to improve student learning, especially when teaching English subjects, to know how to learn and improve their ability to learn to speak. On the other hand, the teachers should provide or teach theory as well as knowledge of the language and how students can easily accept and understand the teacher's material.

According to the above theory of Karwati, the same as happened in the study of Mr. pronunciations in eight semester students of the English Department of IAIN in Bukittinggi, (Master's thesis, Faculty of Tarbiyah IAIN Bukittinggi, 2018), p.12. In addition, some students in the speaking class lack confidence, as Nunan's statement in Putras's research thesis stated that students who lack confidence would have difficulty communicating in English.157.
Based on the theory of Nunan, this is the same as what happened in SMAN 1. Pringgarata found that some students still have less confidence in explaining the speaking material due to a lack of study habits. As a result, they lack vocabulary mastery to speak fluently to explain something related to the topic in the English language. The teachers' strategies to overcome the obstacles in improving students' speaking ability at SMAN 1 Pringgarata in the academic year.

Moreover, accuracy refers to Brown's statement in Putri's research thesis stating that accuracy is the set ability to produce the right sentence in the form of providing such communicative tasks and activities in the form of conversation, debate, role play and games . such activities can engage the learners in the natural to produce correct grammar, sentences and vocabulary.162. The teachers should give students time to talk more than teachers and give students a chance to speak by using group work and pair work which is a great way to plan and coordinate class activities to increase the number of students speaking opportunities to increase .
In this case, there are no rules regarding how often group or pair work should be implemented in the classroom. Based on Harmer's theory, it is the same as what happened in this school, which found that teachers use group work and pair work techniques to improve by engaging students to be more active in the process. of learning, significantly increasing the effectiveness of the process of learning to speak. Based on Puspitasar's theory, it is the same thing as what happened in this school.
