Students’ speaking performance can be affected by the factors that come from performance conditions (time pressure, planning, standard of performance and amount of support), affective factors (such as motivation, confidence and anxiety), listening ability and feedback during speaking activities. 
Performance conditions
Students perform a speaking task under a variety of conditions. Nation & Newton (2009) believe that performance conditions can affect speaking performance.Students’ speaking performance can be affected by the factors that come from performance conditions (time pressure, planning, standard of performance and amount of support), affective factors (such as motivation, confidence and anxiety), listening ability and feedback during speaking activities. 
Affective factors
  One of the most important influences on language learning success or failure is probably the affective side of the learner (Oxford, 1990). Krashen (1982) states that a variety of affective variables has been confirmed to be related to success in second language acquisition in research over the last decade but most of those studies examined the three categories: motivation, self-confidence and anxiety.
Listening ability
 Speaking skills cannot be developed unless we develop listening skills . Students must understand what is said to them to have a successful conversation. shares the ideas when one person speaks, the other responds through attending by means of the listening process. In fact, every speaker plays the role of both a listener and a speaker. Therefore, one is certainly unable to respond if he/ she cannot understand what is said. It means speaking is closely related to listening
Topical knowledge
Topical knowledge is defined as knowledge structures in long-term memory In other words, topical knowledge is the speakers’ knowledge of relevant topical information. The information that topical knowledge provides enables learners to use language with reference to the world in which they live.
