Speaking Anxiety in Transactional Listening & Speaking on Second Semester of
English Education. A paper, Jakarta: The University of Muhammadiyah Prof. Dr.
Hamka, 2020. This qualitative research was designed to investigate anxiety factors
speaking to students in the EFL classroom. Data collection carried out by giving a
questionnaire to a modified and modified (FLCA) class from Horwitz (1986).
Thirty-four students in the second semester at The University of Muhammadiyah
Prof. Dr. HAMKA asked to fill out a questionnaire to determine the dominant factor
that caused student anxiety in speaking English. In addition, the researcher also
conducted semi-structured interviews with nine students with low, middle, and high
levels of anxiety in the classroom. Data was analyzed using analysis (encoding,
percentage, data reduction, data view, and data verification). The finding indicated
that fear was made by a lack of preparation in English by 59 percent, followed by
memory loss of 47 percent, lack of confidence 41 percent, and 38 percent fear of
making mistakes. Then, to overcome this problem, teachers should be more aware
of the students' anxiety to motivate them to speak confidently and fluently in
English class.
