Abstract

ABSTRACT To speak in foreign languages students certainly will experience various obstacles. One of the barriers is from the psychological aspect, which is anxiety. This research is intended to know the level of students’ anxiety and identify possible factors to contribute to the anxiety. This research took a class of 11th-grade students in the first semester of MA An-Nur Pelopor Bandar Jaya Central Lampung in the academic year of 2023/2024. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. This research used three kinds of instruments to collect the data. The first instrument is the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale questionnaire, developed by Horwitz et al. (1986). It consists of 33 items with 5 point Likert-Scale. The second instrument is the semi-structured interview. The result of this research showed that most of the students are at the ―Mildly Anxious‖ level without a ―Very Anxious‖ student. There are 3 (33%) students who experience the ―Very Anxious‖ level, 3 (56%) students are in the ―Anxious‖ level, and 1 (11%) students from 9 students are in the ―Mildly Anxious‖ level. The results of this research show that from a psychological aspect more than half of students (56%) are at the level of moderate anxiety, 3 students (33%) are at the level of severe anxiety, and 1 students (11%) are in the level of mild anxiety. This research also showed that speaking in front of the class, being laughed at by others, incomprehensible input, students’ beliefs about language learning, and lack of preparation were the six factors that may contribute to the students’ anxiety in learning English from nine anxious students were selected as the participants. Keywords: Speaking English Anxiety, Levels of Anxiety, Student’s Anxiety.
