Abstract:
This study focused on the Level of English-speaking anxiety of Junior High School students. The research aimed to determine the level as well as the main factor that causes their English-speaking anxiety and if there's a significant difference in the level of English-speaking anxiety when the respondents are grouped according to profile. This is a descriptive type of research. The researchers used a 4-point Likert scale survey questionnaire that focused on the level of English-speaking anxiety of the respondents. The statistical tools utilized are weighted mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA in analyzing and interpreting the data. The results indicate that the level of English-speaking skill anxiety of the respondents is high, and the main factor is they get nervous when their teacher asks questions that they are prepared in advance with the highest mean of 2.97. On the hand, the respondents don't worry about making mistakes in English class with the lowest mean of 2.30. The study also showed that there is no significant difference in the English-speaking anxiety and the age as well the grade level of the respondents.
