Abstrak. Self-fulfilling prophecy adalah proses dimana ekspektasi atau harapan kita terhadap seseorang akan mengarahkan diri kita agar ekspektasi tersebut terwujud. Ekspektasi dari self-fulfilling prophecy muncul karena adanya kepercayaan informasi yang sangat tinggi dan mendorong diri kita untuk mewujudkan ekspektasi tersebut. Self-fulfilling prophecy yang telah diterapkan di berbagai bidang membuat peneliti ingin tahu bagaimana pengaruh self-fulfilling prophecy di dalam pendidikan non-formal tepatnya di suatu tempat les X di Bandung. Tempat les X di Bandung merupakan tempat les yang mengajarkan bahasa inggris, terutama dalam cara berbicara (conversation). Namun, kenyataannya banyak murid yang merasa belum yakin bisa berbahasa inggris dan tidak berani menggunakannya. Ini menjadi masalah untuk tempat les ini karena jika mereka tidak dapat berbahasa inggris, mereka berhak mengulang kelas tanpa harus membayar kembali. Maka, keyakinan (self-efficacy) mereka yang rendah harus segera ditingkatkan agar mereka dapat berbahasa inggris. Self-fulfilling prophecy dapat meningkatkan self-efficacy murid melalui pengajar yang percaya bahwa murid mereka mempunyai potensi yang tinggi dalam mempelajari bahasa inggris, sehingga pengajar akan memberikan tenaga lebih dalam mengajar murid-muridnya.
