The analysis of aptitude focuses on Bygate’s theory on operations of speaking skill. It was conducted in a public junior high school in Bandung, West Java by using a descriptive-qualitative study.It used observation, document analysis and interview as the research instruments. The findings show that the high achieving students obtained great scores and showed great speaking performance in English subject which are better than other students. They confirmed that their language ability is maintained by their motivation to learn speaking. However, the low achieving students did not have a great language aptitude. Considering the findings, it is suggested that the teacher should understand the students’ characteristics, particularly on students’ aptitude since it is the most related factor to the students’ achievements. Latar belakang dari penelitian ini adalah kebutuhan guru untuk mengetahui bakat siswa dalam berbicara agar guru dapat memberikan perlakuan yang tepat dalam kegiatan kelas.Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bakat speaking siswa dengan prestasi tinggi dan siswa dengan prestasi rendah.Analisis bakat siswa dilakukan menggunakan teori Bygate mengenai operasi kemampuan berbicara.Penelitian ini dilakukan di salah satu sekolah menengah pertama di Bandung, Jawa Barat dengan menggunakan penelitian deskriptif-kualitatif.Instrumen penelitian meliputi observasi, analisis dokumen dan wawancara.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa dengan prestasi tinggi memperoleh nilai dan menunjukkan penampilan berbicara yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan siswa lainnya dalam mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris.
