Abstract

This study examines the correlation between speaking performance and grammatical competence, particularly in the EFL context, by including cognitive learning styles and the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL). The correlational study is employed to analyze the scores of argumentative speaking and written grammar tests of 30 Economics students at STIE Malangkuceswara Malang. It is found that there is no significant correlation between speaking performance and grammatical competence. However, FI students outperformed in speaking, and FD students surpassed in grammar. In fact, those who scored higher on both tests used more SILLs than those who scored lower.
