Abstract

This study aims to describe the empowerment of English Club for students’ achievement in speaking English, for sixth-semester students of PG-PSD at Lambung Mangkurat University. This study is conducted by using a qualitative approach. The conclusion of this study is that the English Club at PG-PSD of Lambung Mangkurat University allows for the empowerment of organization programs where students can learn English outside the classroom. It supports students to join the SEA Teacher program in the Philippines. It also supports the teaching-learning speaking process in the classroom directly; especially on the component of speaking. It can be seen from the student's speaking achievement; most students can achieve a high score for each component of speaking or get an excellent score; few students achieve a ‘good’ category score.
