Abstract

Most students think that it is hard to speak fluently in front of people. Since speaking English is a hard skill, it often makes students anxious. This study aims to find out the causes of the English Department students' anxiety in their speaking performance, the effects of anxiety on the English Department students’ speaking performance, the strategies done by the English Department students to cope with their anxiety in their speaking performance. The population used in this research is the English Department students in a private university in Surabaya. The samples of this research were the 26 English Department’s students from batch 2021. The instrument used in this research is questionnaire. The findings show that the causes of anxiety are Non-linguistic Factor (overthinking), Non-spoken linguistic factor (not understanding speaking topic and speaking context), Non-linguistic Factor (low self-confidence), Spoken Linguistic Factor (improper accent, mispronunciation of words, improper intonation, talking speed, vocabulary, and grammar), and Non-linguistic Factor, (uncomfortable teaching method and learning experience factor). The effects of anxiety are decreased speaking fluency and performance and students often forget vocabulary to use and talk in messy grammar. The strategies used by the studentsto cope with anxiety are preparation, peer-seeking, positive thinking, and relaxation. However, preparation and peer-seeking are not suitable for spontaneous speaking activity. While, positive thinking and relaxation can be used spontaneously.
