This study was conducted to investigate the student difficulties in practicing oral interpretation on the narrative text and the solutions to overcome those difficulties, which was done through the qualitative research. The study sample was based on purposive sampling focused on several students from batch 2017 who had taken an English Literature course. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview consisting of ten questions to obtain information from participants. The findings showed that students faced some difficulties in different categories of the problem, including personal traits (lack of self-confidence, lack of motivation, difficulty to control the speed), speaking components (grammatical problem, prosodic reading problem, pronunciation problem), content or ideas (difficult to understand the meaning of the text, critical reading difficulty in understanding the authors' intention, the problem in organizing the idea), and presentation skill (difficult to express facial expression, stiff body language, difficult to personalize the characters). As for the solutions to overcome those difficulties, the participants proposed some activities before the performance, such as study the elements of the selected narrative text, do research about the author, watch videos of related narrative stories and performance, re-read the text, reading aloud before the performance, watch oral interpretation video competition, do extensive reading, and use an online dictionary. Furthermore, during the performance, the students avoided excessive eye contact and adapted the voice and expression.
