There were two types of perception recorded, namely self-perception and exteroception. Self-perception is a perception that is formed based on internal factors or from within , while exteroception is a perception that is formed based on external factors or from outside of a person. The research methodology  used was quantitative research. The data obtained using two instruments, namely close-ended questionnaire and students’ speaking performace score.  The data were analyzed through Multiple Liniear Regression Analysis. The results of data analysis from 46 samples found that 1) Students’ self-perception (72.09) and exteroception (67.85) categorized as good perception, 2) Simultaneously, self-perception and exteroception has significance influence toward speaking performance (F_test 8.73 > F_table 4.07). 3) Self-perception has significance influence toward speaking performance (T_test 2.347 > T_table 2.014), and Exteroception has no significance influence toward speaking performance   (T_test 0.590 < T_table 2.014). Therefore, it can be concluded that students’ self-perception has the higher score than students’ exteroception. Simultaneously, both them were have significance influence toward speaking performance, while partially self perception was the only variable has significance influence toward speaking performance.
