The current study, which is unique in its own, tried to shed light on the relationship between students’ L2 motivational self-system, L2 anxiety, willingness to communicate, self-regulated learning and their L2 speaking ability in EFL learners in some language teaching institutes in Hamedan. To achieve such a goal, 305 EFL learners with quite same English background participated in the current study. Gender was not taken as a moderator variable in this study. The participants were both male and female and they ranged between 17 and 37 years old. The required data were gathered through some questionnaires and an oral exam. After collecting the data, AMOS was run to analyze the data, and according to the values in the structural model, the results revealed that first, there is a significant relationship between L2 motivational self-system and L2 speaking ability. Second, there is a negative significant correlation between L2 anxiety and L2 speaking ability. Finally, the study showed a significant positive relationship between EFL learners’ willingness to communicate, self-regulation and their L2 speaking ability.
