This study investigates the extent to which variables related to self‐regulated speaking motivation contributes to the prediction of foreign language speaking competence and explores whether there is a relationship between these two constructs. The data were collected from 84 Turkish university students using self‐regulated motivation for improving speaking English as a foreign language scale that comprised four subscales: task value activation, regulation of learning environment, regulation of classroom environment, and regulation of affect. Multiple regression analyses revealed that self‐regulated speaking motivation predicts 34% of EFL (English as a foreign language) speaking competence, with a unique contribution of regulation of affect. Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a significant positive correlation between foreign language speaking competence and self‐regulated speaking motivation. These findings suggest that self‐regulated speaking motivation may be one of the predictors of improved speaking competence. Implications of self‐regulated speaking motivation for the development of speaking competence are included
