utterances, those were blends/haplologies and
misderivations/shifts. Further, the most type of slips
of the tongue occurred was substitutions which was
occurred 51 times. The researchers also found the
fact that African speakers who are from Libya (S1),
Somalia (S2), and Sudan (S3) produced more slips
of the tongue rather than Asian speakers who are
from Cambodia (S4), China (S5), and Thailand (S6).
African speakers produced 73 slips of the tongue in
total, whereas Asian speakers produced 54 slips of
the tongue. It is because African speakers tend to use
Arabic language in their daily interaction even at
collage or Ma’had. In addition, the researchers found
the fact that the typology of slips of the tongue
mostly produced by African speakers was
substitutions which occurred 30 times in total. On
the other hand, the typology of slips of the tongue
mostly produced by Asian speakers was deletions
which occurred 27 times in total. Furthermore, the
most possible factor which might influence slips of
the tongue in international students’ utterances was
situational anxiety. Due to the fact that they felt tired
because of their activities and assignments. Thus, it
might influence them to produce such slips of the
tongue when they presented particular topics by
using English as second language.
Since this research put the focus on slips of the
tongue in international students’ utterances who
presented particular topics by using English
language, the researchers suggest that the second
language learners especially English learners to
concern more on slips of the tongue in order to avoid
it when they need to have presentations. Thus, they
will be able to improve their English, especially on
speaking skills. Further, the researcher also has some
suggestions to the other researchers who are
interested in having research on slips of the tongue.
The next researchers are suggested to gain more
literature about slips of the tongue from different
experts’ perspectives and put the focus on slips of
the tongue on teacher or lecturer in classroom
teaching. Thus, the result of the research later on
would be comparable. Furthermore, the next
researchers are also suggested to fill in the gaps on
what are the possible strategies to overcome the slips
of the tongue.
