The students’ efforts to learn to speak English as the consequence of their speaking motivation after conducting encounter project are in forms of their activities outside and inside the classroom. Classroom activities are in forms of their attention to classmates’ and lecturers’ accents, whether their accent refers to Australian, American or British.

Outside classroom efforts are in forms of their consistency to meet tourists, organize English camps, run speaking club and English goes to school. They also collected videos regarding the accents and different uses of the terms among Australian, American and British.
