The most important of the psychological factors is self-efficacy, which is the intrinsic feasibility of one's ability to perform the behaviors expected of him / her in a particular context. The aim of this research is to determine the speaking self-efficacy of the students who learn Turkish as a foreign language. In the study, it was quantitatively and qualitatively examined whether the students' self-efficacy levels differed in terms of various variables.
