- Abstract
- Speaking anxiety is one of the common challenges faced by students when presenting in English during classroom activities. Anxiety can affect students’ confidence, concentration, and overall speaking performance. This study aimed to explore students’ experiences of speaking anxiety during classroom presentations among Class 4B English Education students at FKIP UIR. A qualitative descriptive approach with a narrative research design was employed in this study. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to 21 students. The questionnaire consisted of 12 statements categorized into four aspects: Speaking Anxiety, Classroom Presentation, Students’ Experiences, and Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety (FLCA). The findings revealed that most students experienced nervousness, fear of making mistakes, lack of confidence, and pressure during classroom presentations. Students also reported difficulties in concentrating and concerns about negative evaluation and academic performance. These findings indicate that speaking anxiety significantly influences students’ classroom presentation experiences and speaking performance. Therefore, speaking anxiety remains an important issue that should be addressed to support students’ confidence and participation in English classroom presentations.
