CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter deals with background, problem statement, the objective of the
research, the significant of the research, and the scope of research.
A. Background
Speaking is one of the most important skills that need to be developed by English
language students. Students are asking to practice English in everyday life, especially
in class. Learning to speak can help the students to make a habit and being fluency in
speaking, so they can improve their speaking skill, because by getting use to speaking
will contribute greatly to improving students’ ability to speak English (Putra, 2018).
Richard (2008) adds that learners often evaluate their success in language learning as
well as the effectiveness of their English course basis of how much they feel they
have improved in their spoken language proficiency. It is mean that speaking is one
skill of language development that should be mastered by the target language learner.
Being able to speak proficiency in English is one of the objective points in
English Learning. However, students have a different personality especially
psychological condition. Some problem of students face when they try to speak
English but they feel nervous of afraid going wrong and when they see a friend speak
up fluency but they feel unconfident and upset by English speaking skill they have.
These conditions are called anxiety (Darmawati, 2017).
2
Anxious situations like when we feel nervous, worried and fearful. People
struggle, trembled, perspire, and our hearts beat quickly (Tobias in Ansari 2015). The
anxious students are also inhibited when attempting to utilize any second language
fluency he or she managed to acquire. The resulting poor test performance and
inability to perform in class can contribute to a teacher’s inaccurate assessment that
the students lack either some necessary aptitude for learning a language or sufficient
motivation to do the necessary work for a good performance (Horwitz et al, 1986).
Additionally, in relation to the performance anxieties above, According to Young
in Ohata (2005) offers an extensive list of the potential sources of language anxiety,
she argues that language anxiety can arise from 1) personal and interpersonal
anxieties, 2) learner beliefs about language learning, 3) teacher beliefs about language
teaching, 4) classroom procedures/ instructor-learner actions and 5) language testing.
Those are the potential sources that may a factor of students’ anxiety.
Every student sometimes may have different types of anxiety. It shows by their
psychological and psychological reaction such as when they feel stress and emotion.
(Darmawati, 2017). In addition, Horwitz in Tanveer (2007) stated foreign anxiety
concerns performance evaluation within academic and social context, there are three
related performance anxiety, that are: 1) communication apprehension, 2) test
anxiety, and 3) fear of negative evaluation. Communication apprehension is a type of
anxiety of shyness characterized by fear of anxiety to communicating with people.
Language anxiety frequently shows up in testing situations students commonly report
to counselor that they “know” a certain grammar point but “forget” it during a test or
3
an oral exercise when many grammar points must be remembered and coordinated
simultaneously. The problem can also be isolated in persistent “careless” errors in
spelling or syntax. The students realize usually sometime after the test, that he and
she know the correct answer but put down the wrong one due to nervousness. If the
student realizes he and she is working preventable errors during the test, anxiety and
errors-may escalate. However, learners commonly report various kind of evaluative
situations in which their knowledge and performance of foreign language is
monitored by people around them as the most stressful situations contributing to
anxiety. They fear to making mistakes and as a result get corrected by the teacher in
front of their classmate.
Anxiety as one of obstacles in speaking, it has a big impact in language learning
development especially in speaking performance and they can’t success to acquiring
English for badly. Juhanna in Izumi (2017) stated that the very limited chance to
practice can be the causes of being not confidence, shyness, and silence that impede a
natural communication. In addition, anxious students may “freeze” or “blank” and be
unable to provide information on test that they know before the test (Mashayekh and
Hashemi, 2011). In many cases, they may have an anxiety reaction which impedes
their ability to perform successfully in a foreign language class (Horwitz, et all.,
1986). If the students want to success in speaking, they must be lower their anxiety
and have to expect that they can success to acquiring English.
Based on the previous research by Putra (2018), shows that the anxiety of the
students in class 3E at the third semester students English Education Department in
4
Muhammadiyah University of Makassar in speaking English in the classroom is very
disturbing to the performance of the students in the presentation, especially in
learning to speak English. The result of the study showed that the most influencing
factor students’ anxiety was motivation, the second was shyness, limited vocabulary,
lack of self-confidence, lack of preparation, grammatical error, friend/classmate, and
then the fear of making mistakes factor is the lowest factor that experienced by
students. The similarity with the previous study is the current research is both find the
factors that experienced by students in English speaking classroom. The difference is
this research is going to find out the types of students anxiety in speaking classroom.
At the students of Muhammadiyah University of Makassar, the researcher is
going to look at many occasions where many participants of experience feeling of
anxiety and discomfort when they are try to speak in English class. This can see when
the lecturer asks the students to formulate or answer the questions, speaking
performance, or oral task, but the students just keep quiet. The interference with their
explanation and performance also prevent them from succeeding in mastering
speaking English. Therefore, this research aims to find out factors that causing
anxiety and analyzing the students’ types of anxiety in English speaking class of the
second semester students’ English department in Muhammadiyah university of
Makassar.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher interests to conducts the research

conceptual framework.
A. Review Related Research Findings
There were some research findings about English speaking anxiety among the
students in university. The results of the researchers were cited below:
1. Putra (2018) in his thesis, “An Analysis of Students’ Anxiety in English

anxiety in speaking English.
Based on previous research, those are different with what researcher has. In this
study, the researcher tried to find out the factors and the type of anxiety that cause
students’ anxiety in speaking English.
B. Concept of Speaking
1. Definition of speaking
According to Nunan (2003: 48) Speaking is the productive aural/oral skill. It
consists of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning. Teaching
speaking is sometimes considered a simple process, commercial language schools
around the world hire people with no training to teach conversation. Although
speaking is totally natural, speaking in a language other than our own is anything but
simple.
Meanwhile Brown in Utomo (2018) also stated that speaking is an interactive
process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving and processing
11
information. Speakers require that speakers not know how to produce specific point
of language such as grammar, pronunciation, but also that understand when, why and
what ways to produce language.
Moreover Matthew in Izumi (2017), stated that speaking is any process in which
people share information, ideas feeling. It involves all of body language mannerism
and styles anything that adds meaning to a message. it means that there is interaction
between the speakers and listener. The speaker must be able to convey the ideas
clearly in speaking order to the listener can understand and get the message or
meaning clearly.
Based on statements above, the researcher concluded that speaking is the way
people exchanges information, convey a message or ideas orally. Speaking has some
skill such as vocabulary, pronunciation, accuracy and fluency. These are the main that
make student can be a good speaker in communicate with the other people before
practice.
2. Goals of speaking
According to Tarigan in Utomo (2018: 12) speaking is related of pronunciation
words that aims to convey what will be conveyed either feelings, ideas or ideas.
Therefore, to convey the message effectively, the speaker must understand what will
be communicated. It means people in the world have speaking ability because
12
speaking is an activity that we always do in every time to communicate with other
people and to make a good relationship in society.
3. Types of classroom speaking performance
According to Brown (2000: 271) identified six types of speaking performance in
classroom, as follows:
a. Imitative
Imitative speaking is kind of practicing an intonation or trying to pinpoint
a certain vowel sound. It is carried out not for the purpose of meaningful
interaction, but for focusing on some particular element of language form.
This usually performed in drilling form.
b. Intensive
Intensive speaking is one step beyond imitative to include any speaking
performance that is designed for practicing some grammatical aspect of
language. For example in self-initiated or pair work activity forms.
c. Responsive
Responsive speaking was meant by being able to give replies or answers
to the question or comment in meaningful and authentic one.
d. Transactional (dialogue)
Transactional here was meant to the students be able to conveying or
exchanging specific information in an extended form or responsive language.
13
e. Interpersonal (dialogue)
Interpersonal speaking purposed to maintain social relationship than for
the transmission of fact about information. The conversation are little
trickier for learners because they can involve some factors such as, slang,
ellipsis/sarcasm, a casual register and etc.
f. Extensive (monologue)
Extensive speaking here mostly in the form of monologue, in the
practice, the advance levels are called on to give extended monologue in the
form of oral reports, summaries, or perhaps short speeches.
4. Function of speaking
Richards (2008: 21) expanded three-part version of Brown and Yules’
framework (after Jones, 1996, and Burns, 1998), they are talk as interaction; talk as
performance; talk as performance. Each of these speech activities is quiet distinct in
terms of form and function and requires different teaching approach.
a. Talk as interaction
Speaking as interaction meant that the interaction which serves a primarily
social function. When people meet, they exchange greetings, engage in small
speaking and chit chat, recount recent experiences because they wish to be friendly
and to establish a comfort zone of interaction with others. The focus is more on the
speaker and how they wish to presents themselves to each other.
14
b. Talk as transaction
Speaking as transaction refers to situation where the focus is on message what
is said or achieved in order to make people understood clearly and accurately.
c. Talks as performance
Speaking as performance is refers to public speaking. It is talk with transmits
information before audience such as classroom presentation, public
announcements and speeches. Speaking as performance tends to be form of
monologue rather that dialogue, often follow a recognizable format and it is closer
to written language than conversational language.
5. Obstacles in Speaking
Rababa’h (2005) stated that there are many factors that cause difficulties in
speaking among EFL (English Foreign Language) learners. According to Dil in
Hosni (2014), in his research that investigated Turkish EFL learners’
communication obstacles in English language classroom, and it reported that
anxiety and unwillingness during the English speaking process are considered two
the biggest obstacle for EFL learners. Anxiety and unwillingness are caused by the
fear of being negatively evaluated when making mistakes, particularly in front of
their friends.
15
C. Concept of Anxiety
1. The Understanding of Anxiety
According to Suleimenova (2012) anxiety is defined as distress or uneasiness of
the mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune. General anxiety is the excessive
and exaggerated worry about everyday things. Meanwhile Ansari (2015) stated that
anxiety is a negative way to present human feelings. When we are anxious, we feel
nervous, worried, and fearful. We struggle, tremble, perspire, and our hearts beat
quickly. In other opinion, Horwitz et al in Darmawati (2017) added that anxiety is
subjective feeling of tension, apprehension, nervousness, and worry associated with
an arousal of the autonomic nervous system.
Based on statements above, the researcher concluded that anxious is a feeling
distress, nervousness, shyness, worried, fearful of something bad happened.
2. Indicators of Anxiety
According to Saputri (2017), there were some presence of speaking anxiety that
was due to its indicators, as follows:
a. Physically perceptible reactions towards anxiety can be observed from several
indicators. Physically, include nervousness, arms and limbs that vibrate or
tremble, sweat, mouth or throat feel dry, difficulty speaking, difficulty breathing,
heart palpitations or tight-knit, dizziness, feeling weak or numb, frequent
urination, feeling sensitive, or irritable (Nevid in Utomo, 2018). In addition, Rink
in Saputri (2017) other visible reaction are body movements such as excessive
hands moving, hair wagging, or head scratching. Moreover, It may also activate
16
the motor component of emotions, i.e. performing of a smile or other facial
expressions (Szyszka in Saputri, 2017).
b. Behavior of students such as going blank, forgetting the utterance that have
prepared, being unable to say what they knew, being afraid of making
miscommunication, and avoiding speaking (Occhipinti in Saputri, 2017). In
addition, Schlenker and Learly in Saputri (2017) contribute that speaking anxiety
can also see from the use of speech fillers, such as “uh uhh”, or “hmm..”.
3. The Sources of Anxiety
According to Young (1991), language anxiety could be arised from:
a. Personal and Interpersonal Anxieties
The probably issues that are most commonly cited and discussed source of
language anxiety are Personal and interpersonal (Young, 2010). It was investigated in
correlation with the other social and psychology construct. For example, people that
have low self-esteem may worry about what their friends are think, in fear in their
negative responses or evaluation. Those are psychology phenomena, belong to low
self-esteem and competitiveness, may become the seeds of students to speak in fear
of anxiety.
17
b. Learner beliefs about language learning
Certain beliefs about language learning also affecting the students’ tension and
frustration in the classroom (Horwitz et al, 1968). Young (1991) also stated that
learner beliefs about language learning can contribute greatly to creating language
anxiety in students.
Gynan in Ohata (2005) added that the most important aspect of L2 learning in
learner beliefs about language learning is pronunciation, even though the other close
to the other learner aspect, such as vocabulary, communication, travelling to country
a country where the language is spoken, translation or making friends. A similar
study by Horwitz et al (1986) that the numbers of students believe nothing should be
said in the foreign language until it can be said correctly and that is not okay to guess
an unknown foreign language word.
Horwitz cited in Young (1991) presented various kinds of learner beliefs,
suggesting that some of them are derived from the learners’ irrational and unrealistic
learners’ such as : 1) some learners were concerned about the correctness of their
speech in comparison to native speaker, like accent or pronunciation, 2) some
believed that two years is enough time in language learning to achieve a native like
fluency, 3) some believed that language learning is learning about how to translate,
and 4) some others believed that success of L2 learning limited to a few individuals
who are gifted for language learning. As several of these beliefs are unrealistic for the
language learner and it can contribute the anxiety. For example, if the learner set their
self from the beginning they can be sound as good native or if the learner believed
18
that the most important in language learning is pronunciation, the perfection is how to
speak like native, they are going to frustrated and stressed by found the reality of their
imperfection of pronouncing even they have been do more practice. The stressed also
can contribute the learners if they believe should be mastered English by two years.
The researcher concluded that unrealistic beliefs of learners or learners’
expectation contributing learners to high anxiety before doing. Because the
imperfection or high expectation, they might be ruined the performance.
c. Instructor beliefs about language teaching
According to young (1991: 428) instructor beliefs about language teaching are a
further source of language anxiety. Instructor beliefs about language teaching can
also become a source of creating language anxiety among L2 learners. The teacher
believed that on the role of language teachers may not always correspond to student’s
needs or expectations toward the teacher. For example, when a teacher believes that
his role in class is constantly correct students’ errors, some of the students might
become quiet anxious about their performance (Ohata, 2005)
d. Classroom procedures
Many learners feel that some error correction is necessary (Koch & Terrel in
Horwitz, 1988), the manner of error correction is often cited as provoking anxiety.
Those studies investigated anxieties in relation to instructor-learner interactions show
that students are more concerned about how their mistakes are corrected rather than
19
whether error correction should be administered in class. In addition, some of the
classroom activities, such as oral presentation or oral skits in front of the class are
also listed as potential of anxiety (Young in Ohata, 2005).
e. Language testing
This would lead to other psychology stresses, such as the fear of losing self-
confidence or feeling inferior to others. In addition, sometimes students felt pressured
to think they had to organize their ideas in a short period of time while caring about
grammar errors at the same time.
Madsen et al in Young (1991: 429) studied that if an instructor has a
communicative approach to language teaching but then gives primarily grammar
tests, this likely contribute students not only complain, but also experience of
frustration and anxiety.
In addition, Listriyaningsih (2018) states that In Indonesia, testing sometimes
called as the technique to collect a score of the students. All the students afraid if they
get bad score, it is important to students. For example of testing which make students
anxious such as when the teacher gives a test in short period will make the students
anxious and pressured, the teacher doing a test before gives notification to students
(unprepared students), and the teacher gives unfamiliar and ambiguous task and
formats.

5. Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety
Because language anxiety concern of performance evaluation within an academic
and social context, it is useful to describe with three performance anxieties. The
primary sources of language anxiety explicated by Horwitz in Tanveer (2007) are
communication apprehension, fear on negative evaluation and test anxiety.
a. Communication Apprehension
Communication apprehension is quiet relevant to the conceptualization of foreign
language anxiety. Learners who exhibit communication apprehension do not feel
comfortable communicating in the target language (TL) in front of the others, due to
their limited knowledge of the language, especially in relation to speaking skill.
Generally communication apprehension refers to type of anxiety experienced in
interpersonal communicative setting, especially in the classroom where the learners
have little control of the communicative situation and their performance is constantly
monitored by the teacher and peers. Communication apprehension has a great
influence on students’ communication competence. Learners who typically have
difficulty speaking in front of the other people are liked to be able to learn a foreign
language and develop their communication skill.
b. Fear of negative evaluation
Fear of negative evaluation is the learners feeling about how other teachers or
classmates may negatively evaluate their language ability. Learners who experience
21
fear of negative evaluation do not consider their language mistakes as a natural thing
or as an attempt to learn a new language, but as a danger for them especially in front
of their teachers or their friends. As a result, they keep silent most of the time and
refuse to participate in language classroom activities.
c. Test anxiety
According to Horwitz in Saputri (2017), test anxiety is an anxiety of performance
evaluation by others emerging from a fear of failing the performance and fear of
making mistakes. Test anxiety is a form of performance anxiety, in which the learner
feel the fear or failure and doing badly in text. Learners who experience text anxiety
consider the foreign language process and especially oral production, as a threatening
situation, rather than an opportunity to improve their communicative competence and
speaking skill.
22
D. Conceptual Framework

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter deals with research design, variable and their operational
definition, population and sample, instrument of the research, procedure of
collecting data, and technique of data analysis.
A. Research Design
This research used descriptive research and qualitative as the approach. It
supported by Heigham and Crocker (2009), that a qualitative research focused on
understanding how participant experience a phenomenon at a certain time, with a
particular context, and the multiple meaning of it for them. Heigham and Crocker
(2009) add that there are several data collection techniques such as observations,
interviews, open-ended questionnaire, and diaries. In this research, the researcher

Heigham and Crocker in Saputri (2017) states that semi-structured
interview is an interview where the interviewer has designed the topic to
explore but is prepare to allow respondents to open up important new
findings.
27
E. Procedure of Data Collection

pronunciation, vocabulary), b) I am afraid to being evaluated negatively by my

lecturer too formal.
Base on the result open-ended questionnaire conducted by researcher, the
researcher found that the most factors of students anxiety in speaking was afraid
to making mistakes, followed with they not confidence with their English skill
and afraid to being evaluated negatively by their friends. The researcher also
found that unexpected task as one caused students anxiety. The lecturer belief
about language teaching wasn’t provoking them to be anxiety.
3. The result of interview
The interview was supported and validated by open-ended questionnaire. The
interview guidelines consisted of 7 numbers which the factor were analyzed by
the answer. Based on the result of interview, mostly students mentioned that the
factors that they were experiencing in their speaking anxiety was they were afraid
to making mistakes, followed by they haven’t enough vocabulary to speak their
ideas, the un-expectable task, lack of confidence, and fear of friends evaluations.

Unexpected task Lack of confidence
Fear of friends evaluations
From the table 4.2 about the factors of students’ anxiety in speaking English,
the researcher concluded that there were five classifications of the factors anxiety
of students with different number of students as follow:
a. Fear of making mistakes
Fear of making mistakes was the first factors that found in this questionnaire.
Fear of making mistakes was mostly found in the students before they were going
to speak in front of their friends and lecturer. They were afraid to making
mistakes because their limited English proficiency. Being afraid to making
mistakes in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation were the most checked reason
which made them anxious in their speaking performance. It was pursuance with
result of observation early. The researcher captured that the students made
grammatical mistakes and mispronunciation in delivering their speeches. The
finding showed that the students’ limited knowledge in English was clearly. It
was supported by the result of interview of the students, as follows:
R : Dapatkah kalian menjelaskan alasan dari Anxiety atau kecemasan yang
kamu rasakan? (R: Can you explain the reason of your anxiety that you feel?)
SDP : Kalau saya kak takutka salah pengucapan atau salah
grammarnya jadi nanti temanku nda mengerti, dan takut dinilai negative
juga.(I am afraid to making mistakes to mispronouncing and also making
grammatical errors, so my friend don’t understand what I say, I am afraid to
being evaluated negatively)
(Resource: Interview 6)
34
In the line of SDP, she have difficulty to speak because she afraid about her
grammatical. She hasn’t good enough knowledge about grammar so she didn’t
know to make sentence properly in speaking. From those mistakes, she also fear
of being laughed of friend. It was also showed by observation checklist when she
was speaking. She didn’t prepare well so it made her performance going worst.
Based on finding above, the researcher concluded that fear of making mistake
could be the factors that making students being worst in speaking. The knowledge
about English proficiency was important as the tools of speaking to convey the
ideas of topic properly, but when the students didn’t know the topic exactly, they
hard even they have English proficiency, it gone hard also for students to convey
their ideas.
b. Lack of vocabulary
The second factors that mostly found in students who were anxiety, it was
lack of vocabulary. Mostly the students mentioned that the difficulty of speaking
was they hard memorized the vocabularies. The vocabulary needed to producing
language in speaking. So it was hard for students conveyed their ideas especially
when the lecturer gave task unexpectedly to speak. The students might be
unfamiliar with the topic and also unfamiliar about the vocabulary that they were
going to be produced. The interview showed that:
R : Apa kesulitan kalian dalam Speaking? (What is your difficulty in
speaking?)
AP : Menghafal kosa kata kak. (It is memorizing vocabulary, sis)
R : Nurul bagaimana?I (How about Nurul)
35
NAD : Kalau saya kak pengetahuan vocabularyku masih terbatas. (I
have limited vocabulary)
(Source: Interview 2)
From those statement, the researcher conclude that lack of vocabulary could
be provoked the students to be anxiety of speaking. The students who have not
enough vocabulary would be hard to be conveyed their ideas in speaking.
c. Lack of self-confidence
Based on the questionnaire result, there were students with this aspect as
factor of anxiety. Unconfident students were also the second factors that
provoking anxiety. Unconfident students it cause by self-perception that they have
about speaking. The students were unconfident because of their unrealistic or
irrational expectation about their ability in speaking. The result of Interview
confirmed that:
R : Dapatkah kalian menjelaskan alasan dari Anxiety atau
kecemasan yang kamu rasakan? (R: Can you explain the reason of your
anxiety that you feel?)
AP : kesulitannya mungkin saya kurang PD kak, karna saya belum
lancar berbicara. (The difficulties maybe because I am not PD because I
haven’t speak fluency)
(Resource: Interview 2)
Based on data above, AP didn’t confidence because she haven’t mastered
English proficiency knowledge, so it was make her cannot speak fluently as what
her expected. It was also showed by her performance in speaking when the
researcher observed her, she did many mistakes in pronouncing a word and looked
like unprepared well.
36
There also students were unconfident because they can’t believe their selves,
although they have been prepared before. But because of they have low self-
esteem, they worry about what their friend think if they were making mistakes in
speaking.
R : Dapatkah kalian menjelaskan alasan dari Anxiety atau
kecemasan yang kamu rasakan? (R: Can you explain the reason of your
anxiety that you feel?)
FSS : Kesulitannya mungkin gugupka karena tidak pahamka topic jadi
tidak ada ide untuk berbicara. . (The difficulties maybe because I don’t
understand with the topic so well, so I don’t have idea to speak also.
R : Kalau Askyah? (How about Askyah)
AA : Kalau saya sering sekali tidak PD karena takut salah dan ketika
salah kadang diketawai. (I usually un-PD, because I am afraid to making
mistakes, I am going to be laughed by friends).
(Resources: Interview 4)
From the line of AA, she confirmed that she anxious because she unconfident
about her speaking ability in English, which is she worry about being evaluated
negatively by friends if she was making mistakes. It was also showed when she
has been observed by researcher when she was speaking. Although she has
making a concept about the topic, but when she speaking, she still making pauses,
excessive smile and sometimes cheated the concept in the paper that she brought
when she was speaking in front of friends and lecturer. The low self-esteem can
be provoked her to being anxiety.
37
d. Friends/ classmates
In speaking performance, the students became anxious because of the situation
of class especially their friends. Based on Interview, there were some students
anxious because when they made mistake, their friends would be laughed.
R : Kalau Tri bagaimana? (How about Tri?)
TNI : Kalau saya tidak pd karena grammarku kak, takut dinilai
negative sama teman. ( I am not confident with my grammar sis, I am
afraid to being evaluated negatively by my friends).
R : Bagaimana reaksinya temanta ketika naliat ki salah Mamat dan
Tri? (How are your friends react to you, if you make mistakes, Mamat and
Tri?)
MAA : Kadang ketawa kadang diamji kak. (Sometimes they laugh,
sometimes they just silent)
R : Tidak takut ki di nilai negative? (Don’t you afraid to evaluate
negatively?)
MAA : Tidak kak (Not really, sis)
TNI : Kadang ketawa kak jadi merasa nda pd ka. (Sometimes they are
laugh and I am becoming unconfident, sis)
(Source: Interview 5)
In the line of TNI, she actually has not good knowledge about grammar so
when she was speaking and there was mistake she made, her friends would
laughed to her. It provoked her to be anxious before perform and being
unconfident. Friends also sometimes laugh to students who were speaking, but
because they have self-confident, they would be ignored it. Those showed in the
line of MAA interview.
There also friends, who were made the students lost. When the students made
mistakes and the friends constantly laugh, the students became blank and lost their
38
mind when speaking. Besides unsupportive friends, there also supportive friends,
that was make the students better when they were making mistakes. The friends
help the speakers to correct their mistakes. The interview showed that:
R : Bagaimana reaksinya temanta ketika naliatki salah? (How are
your friends react to you if you making mistakes?)
FSS : Kadang ketawa kadang diamji kak. Biasa juga berbisik untuk
membenarkan. (Sometimes they laugh, sometimes the just keep silent.
Sometimes they whisper to correct me)
R : Tidak takut ki di nilai negative? (Don’t you afraid evaluate
negatively)
FSS : Tidak kak (Not really, sir)
AA : Kadang ketawa kak. Jadi blank ka. (Sometimes they laugh, so I
am going to blank).
(Source: Interview 4)
Based on the statements above, the researcher conclude that the classroom
situation especially friends evaluation would provoked the students to be anxious
in speaking performance. The students needed supportive friends to made their
success in speaking performance, although the friends just gave them a little help
like whispered to correct them, or keep silent when the students were making
mistakes.
e. Types of task
There are some kinds of task given by the teachers in the class, such as speech,
presentation, impromptu speech. The tasks were usually performed in front of the
class or in students’ own seats. The task became something that causes anxiety if
39
the students’ were asked to present the task in front of the class. Their anxiety
regarding to this factor shown on the following data:
2. Hal apa yang paling mengganggumu dalam belajar bahasa Inggris?
(belajar dalam kelas, ketika saya diharuskan untuk berbicara memberikan
presentasi didepan kelas) What disturbs you the most in learning and
speaking English? (Learning in the classroom, when required to speak,
giving presentation in the class, etc.)
Answer: yang paling mengganggu adalah ketika saya diharuskan untuk
berbicara di epan teman-teman, Karen itu membuat saya nervous/ gugup.
Mungkin karena belum terbiasa berada di depan teman-teman dan dosen
hehe. The most obstacle in speaking are when I should be speak in front of
my friend unexpectedly I am quite nervous. Because I am not accustomed
to speak in front of friends and lecturer, hehe (Question 2, TNI)
Based on the data above, the student felt quite anxious when the lecturer was
asking her to speak unexpectedly in front of her friends. This made her unable to
show her best during her speaking performance. It was also shown when the
researcher observed her speaking performance. Even she has prepared before, but
the lecturer pointed randomly and she was choosing to be performed, she didn’t
really show her best in speaking because she felt unconfident. The lack of practice
to speaking also provoked her to be anxiety.
The students also anxious when the lecturer was tasking her to speak
unexpectedly and they have lack of knowledge about English proficiency. The
interview showed that:
R : Apa kesulitan kalian dalam Speaking? (What is your difficulty in
speaking?)
RHR : Saya dari kecil sudah diajar bahasa Inggris sama mamaku, tapi
saya orangnya pemalu jadi susahka berbicara apalagi di depan teman-
teman. (I have been learning English when I was child, my mother taught
me. I am shyness person, so I hard to speak especially in front of my
friends).
40
R : Yaftah bagaimana? (How about Yaftah)
AYM : Kalau saya kak kalau disuruhki speaking tiba-tiba, karena
pengetahuan vocabularyku masih terbatas. (If we tasking to speak
unexpectedly, it is because of I have limited vocabulary).
(Source: Interview 3)
In the line of AYM, the data showed that the students are anxious because if
they were tasked speaking unexpectedly, he would became silent because he has
not enough vocabulary to produce language. The students need preparation and
knowledge before they initiate oral performance.
4. Types of Students’ Anxiety

communication apprehension was experienced by 7 students, followed by test
anxiety 9 students and fear of negative evaluation by 6 students.
42
a. Communication apprehension
Based on the questionnaire results, there were six students who clearly stated
that they were anxious since they were unconfident. This finding was verified by
the follow up interview. From the interview, this type of speaking anxiety was
experienced by 8 students in speaking performance. They were AP, AYM, RHR,
S, MAA, NAD,NP, AA, and DAMJ. The researcher found one student who was
clearly stated that he was learned English from his childhood, but because of he
was shy so he never has got his best performance. He was RHR. Another students
who have unconfident about their English fluency, they were MAA and AP. And
the researcher also found the student who anxious when she didn’t understand the
topic clearly, so she couldn’t be produced language to convey her ideas.
Besides those reasons, the researcher also found the students’ who anxious
because they were afraid if their audience wouldn’t understand what they were
speak or miscommunicating. It was because he couldn’t be pronounced the
language clearly or the grammar was broken.
R : Dapatkah kalian menjelaskan alasan dari Anxiety atau
kecemasan yang kamu rasakan? (R: Can you explain the reason of your
anxiety that you feel?)
SDP : Kalau saya kak takutka salah pengucapan atau salah
grammarnya jadi nanti temanku nda mengerti, dan takut dinilai negative
juga.(I am afraid to making mistakes to mispronouncing and also making
grammatical errors, so my friend don’t understand what I say, I am afraid
to being evaluated negatively)
(Source: Interview 6)
43
From the statements, the researcher concludes that there six students were
typing as communication apprehension of their anxiety. This research pointed that
there were two causes of students that experienced communication apprehension.
They were unconfident, their unrealistic reason of students.
b. Test anxiety
Based on the questionnaire result, there were 10 out of 15 students who
acknowledged that they are anxious in speaking performance since they were
afraid to making mistakes. This finding has confirmed by following interview.
The result of interview showed that test anxiety experienced by 10 students, they
were AYM, FSS, S, MY, TNI, YMY, NAD, SDP, F and DAMJ. Based on
interview, AYM and YMY revealed that their anxiety provoked by limited
knowledge about grammar since they were making mistake in applied it in
sentence. YMY also stated that she anxious because of afraid to being evaluated
negatively. But the researcher made decision to choose test anxiety because she
mentioned firstly n her answer it was about fear of making mistakes. She also was
mentioned that she afraid of making mistakes in grammar on the questionnaire
sheet. AYM, NP, J and DAMJ revealed that they were anxious because of their
have limited vocabulary. When the lecturer tasked them to speak, especially when
the topic was unfamiliar it was making them hard to speak and worry about being

DAMJ : Saya nervous kak karna saya khawatir kalo nanti dosen bertanya
diluar topic dan saya tidak bisa menjawab karena vocabularyku kurang.
Apalagi di tunjuk tiba-tiba untuk speaking. (I am nervous sis because I am
worry if later the lecturer asking me out of the topics that has been decided
and I can’t answer it because my vocabulary is limited. Moreover, I am
nervous when I am task to speak unexpectedly).

In the line of DAMJ, she was anxious when she going to be tasked
unexpectedly to speak. Because sometimes the lecturer asked her out of the topic

observation that researcher did when she performed to present her task. She
looked hasn’t prepared before, she hesitated in speak because the limited
knowledge of the material she have. Her friends more active questioned but she
didn’t know the answer exactly. Her friends started to whisper each other about
the answer that they already knew, until there was one of them asked her about the
right answer. It was making her look so shy and down. The other students S,
NAD, and AA, also experienced it in their speaking performance. AA was the
students that always unconfident to speak. After doing Interview, she revealed that

because lack of vocabulary that made her hard to speak. The researcher was
observed her in her speaking performance, although she brought a paper of her

she sounded lower and her friends could hear it exactly. She going blank and
making excessive laugh, it shown that there was something wrong with her. After

speaking performance and being anxiety in speaking.
B. Discussion
This research had been done by early observation, conducted questionnaire
and doing interview. To make discussion clear, the researcher described the result
of data analyzed as follow:
1. The factors causing students’ anxiety in speaking
The discussion consisted of the factors students’ anxiety in speaking English
that divided with gave open-ended questionnaire and interview, in order to know
the factors caused students’ anxiety in speaking English in class 3F at the third
semester students of English Education Department of Muhammadiyah University
of Makassar.
There were some factors that causing students’ anxiety in speaking English.
Referrering to the findings, the researcher classify those factors in to 5 categories,
47
they were fear of making mistakes, lack of vocabulary, lack of confidence,
friends/classmates and type of task.
a. Fear of making mistakes
Based on finding there were 8 students experienced it in their speaking
performance. The kinds of making mistakes are when the students making wrong
pronounce or using appropriate grammar and still have a lack vocabulary. The
lack vocabulary also found as one factor that students experienced in speaking
anxiety. Moreover, Listriyaningsih (2018) stated that fear of making mistakes
become one of factors that contributing students’ anxiety in speaking.
b. Lack of vocabulary
Based on findings, there were 8 students showed that the most of their
difficulties in speak is because they have lack vocabulary. Sometimes, the lecturer
asked them out of the topic but the students were lack vocabularies to express
their idea. Lack vocabulary contributed the students to be anxious to speaking
English. The previous research also found the lack of vocabulary as one of factors
that caused anxiety. Herwanto (2013) stated that the anxiety which made he forgot
the whole idea he (participant) wanted to say appeared when he tried to remember
one word he wanted t use express his idea.
c. Lack of confidence
Based on the result analysis, the researcher found 6 students which have lack
of self-confident as the students experienced personal and interpersonal anxiety.
48
They were unconfident to speak because of their self and there were unconfident
because the outside factors. Nervous, shy, unconfident and low knowledge about
English proficiency becoming insides factors that provoked them to be anxiety.
Self-confidence was the second factors of students’ anxiety in speaking English
that found in this research.
d. Friend/Classmate
Based on the result, the researcher found that there 5 of students who afraid to
being evaluated negatively by their friend. They experienced when the
unsupportive friends made them performance going to be worst. For example,
when the students making mistakes in pronounce or grammar, their friends
constantly laugh or whisper to each other. Those conditions made the students feel
blank and feel bad of their selves. The previous researcher by Listiyaningsih
(2018) state that peer related fears or worries, it came light, were not the result or
consequences of actual negative experiences with classmates, such as friends
laugh when making mistakes, this is actually psychological disorder because they
think other people greater and considered doing the wrong thing is big problem.
But mostly of the students didn’t put attention to much to their friends’ negative
evaluation.
e. Type of task
The previous finding by Herwanto (2013), stated the tasks became something
that causes anxiety if the students were asked to present the activities in front of
49
the class. When they practiced to speak in front of their friends, their confidence
had certain effect to their performance.
Based on the result, there 3 students experienced it in their speaking
performance. Type of task like speaking in front of friends and lecturer such as
giving presentation or impromptu speech made the students quite anxious. The
students mostly anxious because they were tasked in unexpectedly by lecturer,
they constantly fear of making mistakes and afraid of being evaluated negatively
by friends or lecturer.
2. The types of students’ anxiety in speaking English
Based on the result of the answer of open-ended questionnaire that researcher
has been conducted which related to the research questions. Those was answer
about the factors that caused students’ anxiety in speaking English, the researcher
also categorized it into three types of anxiety according to Horwitz et all (1986),
they were communication apprehension, test anxiety and fear of negative
evaluation.
a. Test anxiety
According to Horwitz in Saputri (2017), test anxiety is an anxiety of
performance evaluation by others emerging from a fear of failing the performance
and fear of making mistakes.
Based on the findings, test anxiety was the most type that students
experienced in their speaking performance. There were 10 students become
50
anxious when the lecturer asking them to speak unexpectedly in from of the
others. Most of them think they afraid to fail in their speaking performance,
besides because of lack preparation, it also because they have lack knowledge of
English proficiency in speaking such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
Those also happen in students who afraid of to making mistakes.
b. Communication apprehension
Communication apprehension was the second type of anxiety that the students
experienced in speaking performance. Based on the findings above, there were 8
students who were typically shyness and unconfident to speak in front of the other
people. There were students unconfident because their proficiency in English is
lack, there also students anxiety because they rarely speaks in front of their
friends. There also students who are afraid if their speech doesn’t delivering the
message clearly. Communication apprehension has a great influence on students’
communication competence. Learners who typically have difficulty speaking in
front of the other people are liked to be able to learn a foreign language and
develop their communication skill (Horwitz, 1986).
c. Fear of negative evaluation
The lowest type of students’ anxiety in speaking English was fear of negative
evaluation. Fear of negative evaluation is similar with test anxiety. The 6 students
who experienced fear of negative evaluation is anxious because of the
unsupportive friends which give them negative vibes when they were making
mistakes, such as laughing or whispering.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
This chapter presented the conclusion and suggestion based on the findings
and discussion for the data analysis.
A. Conclusion
Based on the findings and discussion on the previous chapter, the researcher
concluded there are five factors that causing students’ anxiety in speaking
English, the first factor that mostly provoking students to be anxiety is afraid of
making mistake when the students have perception about their low ability in
English proficiency and afraid to going wrong in their performance. There were 8
of 15 students experienced it. The second factor was lack of vocabulary that
experienced by 8 students who were hard to speak because of they have lack
vocabulary to produce language. The third was lack of confidence, which 6
students experienced it. Most of students anxious because they were un-confident
of their ability in speaking. The fourth was friends/classmates which 5 students
experienced it. Unsupportive friends provoking students to become anxious. The
lowest factor was types of anxiety which 3 students experienced it.
The types of anxiety that students experienced in their speaking performance
according to Horwitz et al (1986) are communication apprehension, test anxiety
and fear of negative evaluation. Based on the result analysis of factors anxiety, the
most type of anxiety was test anxiety that experienced by 10 students. The second
52
was communicaton apprehension experienced by 8 students and the lowest was
fear of negative evaluation with 6 students.
B. Suggestion
Based on the conclusion above, the researcher would like to give the following
suggestions for:
1. The lecturer of speaking must recognize the anxious students and give
treatment based on their types of anxiety. The lecturer also can build friendly
class with their students in helping students to reduce their anxiety and speak
comfortably with less pressure about fear of making mistakes or being
evaluated negatively.
2. The students who are have anxiety, must find their own way to deal with it.
They should asking help to their lecturer or sharing with friends about their
problem in speaking. They have to build their self-confidence and bravely to
speak in front of their friends or public.
3. The next research, this thesis could be an additional reference for their
research.
