Abstract


The objective of the study is to examine the influence of anxiety on students’ speaking performance. The researchers adopted a quantitative approach and employed a survey to collect data. This study involved fifty-three students from the second semester of the English Literature program at a private university in Jakarta. To collect data, the researchers used both standard tests and questionary. A speaking test was conducted to obtain speaking score and the Foreign Language Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionary was employed to get anxiety score then a regression analysis was conducted. The result shows that there is an effect of anxiety on speaking performance in EFL Large class. It is proved that the value of tcount > ttable (negative/invisible side) (2.987 > 2.008) or Sig. value < 0.05 (0.004 < 0.05) so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The effect is negative because the tcount is negative, meaning that if anxiety (X) increases, speaking skill (Y) will decrease. From the data that has been researched, it is found that a high level of anxiety will affect the ability to speak English. Collaboration among all stakeholders, especially teachers and students, is required to overcome anxiety and enhance their communication skills.
