Abstract


Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTs) is a skill that should be known by students. If students have known and applied HOTS, students could improve their ability in all skills. The research aimed to know the students’ perception and its problems in implementing Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTs) in speaking class. The research employed a mixed method research with a questionnaire and interview guideline as instruments. The research participants were only 30 students of the English Education Study Program in one of State universities in Bengkulu, Indonesia. The data analysis were using statistical calculation for quantitative and data collection, data condensation, data display and conclusion for qualitative. The result shows that majority students had positive perceptions on implementing HOTs in speaking because they think that HOTS is going to train their brain to think critically, creatively and innovatively. Besides, some students had problems in applying it, like poor argument, lack of vocabulary and grammar, lack of knowledge about the material, nervous and not know what to ask. In brief, students had implemented HOTS, but not all students could use C6 or analyzing in HOTS. The problems could be solved by triggering the students to use HOTS in speaking class, especially for C65 and C6.
