Abstract

This study aimed to find out the dominant type of students’ speaking anxiety that occurred in English classrooms and to know the factors of speaking anxiety faced by students in the second year of SMPN 9 Parepare. The teacher also can understand the problems that the students faced when they speak in the classroom and give the students motivation to make the student more relaxed in English class. The design of this research is descriptive qualitative. This study used a questionnaire to determine the dominant type of student speaking anxiety that occurred in an English class of 35 students, then used interviews to determine the factors of students' speaking anxiety in an English class by selecting a sample of 7 students from each class. Samples were taken using random sampling The result of this research showed that the dominant type of students’ speaking anxiety was (1) Communication Apprehension with a score of 1173, (2) Test Anxiety scored 1630, and (3) Fear of Negative Evaluation scoring 745. It means that most students are worried to fail in taking language tests and they are also keeping worried although they have prepared well for speaking class. They also still feel unconfident with their performance in front of the class because of their language competencies, and cannot avoid the evaluative situation in the speaking class activity. The factors of speaking anxiety faced by students indicate speaking anxiety was affected by four factors, namely cognitive, psychological, social, and physical factors.
