This study used Case Study method in order to know what makes students do not speak up in the classroom. The subject of this research was the ELT freshmen of 2016. Based on the observation in each class of ELT students some of them did not actively participate during the learning and teaching process. Hence the researcher needs to find out the cause related to why students were unwilling to speak in the classroom. The researcher used observation sheet as the instrument during direct observation in the class. Based on the observation the researcher set the criteria of respondents who are going to be interviewed in data collecting process. Those are students who were bored and/or sleepy students who did not pay attention students who did not comment or ask anything students who lazily discussed a certain topic when the lecturer ask them to discuss. After doing observation the researcher interviewed the students to obtain more accurate information about why the students were reluctant to speak up in front of the class. The instrument used was the interview guide line. There were four aspects of the interview guideline which are (1) student s identity (2) the importance of English from students point of view (3) reasons they did not speak up in the class room and (4) students needs in speaking class. Those four aspects were developed into ten questions. The researcher interpreted and discussed the results of the observation based on the data that has been obtained through interviews and classroom observations. Using relevant theories from several authors of books and articles the researcher discussed the results and drew the conclusions. The result showed that the reasons behind their reluctance to speak up in front of the class were based on their condition such as personality physical and mental state motivation and time management. The other reasons were based on people around them such as lecturer and classmates. In conclusion since the reasons behind their reluctance were varied they needed helps especially from their lecturers and classmates. The students needed to be given certain ways and guidance on how to overcome their problems which are relatively different. Additionally the lecturer had to come up with a solution that could help the students overcome their reluctance to speak up in front of the class.
