These students are majoring in engineering and technology. A questionnaire, designed by Idrus and Sivapalan (2007) adapted from Bandura’s (1990) and Mikulecky et al.’s (1996), was used to access the perceived self-efficacy of the students on three dimensions: ability, aspiration and activity perception. The findings indicated that, in general, the students had high self-efficacy belief in their speaking ability on all the three dimensions. The study also compared the students’ self-efficacy level in relation to year of study, gender and ethnic group.
