abstract: This study was conducted to investigate willingness to communicate (WTC) of
Indonesian learners of English as second language (L2) at the university level. It
was conducted based on several rationales. First, WTC in L2 is often regarded
as the primary goal of language instructions. Secondly, there may be various
factors influencing WTC in L2 and the two so-called strongest factors, namely
learners’ perceived communication competence and communication
apprehension, need to be investigated further to find out the degree to which they
actually affect learners’ WTC. Besides, despite the importance of WTC in L2
learning, Indonesian learners’ low frequency of English use outside classroom
contexts might lead them to be unwilling to make actual communication in
English. Hence, the results of this study can be useful for teachers in the way that
they can be informed about the relationship between learners' WTC in L2 and
other factors, which they, in turn, can manage in class for the benefits of learners’
L2 learning. For researchers, this study can be a reference for further WTC
studies in the Indonesian context. Through probability random sampling, a total
of 276 non-English major university students participated in the study in a
survey, the data of which were analysed using descriptive statistics and
inferential statistics, correlation and regression, in SPSS 21. This study found
that learners reported a high level of WTC. Secondly, that learners’ perceived
communication competence was found to be a strong predictor of learners’
WTC. Third, communication apprehension was found to be correlated with
WTC in just a moderate level. Finally, despite experts’ supports on the
importance of WTC in L2 learning, it surprisingly could not predict learners’ L2
achievement.
