Abstract

Speaking anxiety is one of the main obstacles often experienced by students in learning English, especially in speaking skills. This study aims to analyze the internal factors that contribute to speaking anxiety among final semester students at PGRI Delta Sidoarjo University. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with instruments in the form of a closed questionnaire (referring to the FLCAS by Horwitz et al.) and open-ended interviews. The subjects in this study were 13 final semester students of English Education study program. The results showed that there are four main internal factors that cause speaking anxiety, namely: fear of making mistakes, shyness, lack of confidence, and lack of motivation. The most dominant factor is the fear of making mistakes, followed by shyness, lack of confidence, and finally the lack of motivation was the lowest factor. The study also found that students past experiences and way of thinking also affected their confidence level when speaking in English. Strategies such as thorough preparation, relaxation, and positive thinking were found to help students manage their anxiety. It is hoped that these findings can serve as a reference for educators to create a more supportive and conducive learning environment for the development of students' speaking skills.
