The research aimed to determine the level of students’ English speaking anxiety, describe their speaking performance, and examine the significance, strength, and direction of the relationship between the two variables. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed. The participants consisted of 60 tenth-grade students. Data on English speaking anxiety were collected through a questionnaire adapted from the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale, while speaking performance scores were obtained from the English teacher’s assessment records.

The coefficient of determination showed that the variables shared 37.70% of their variance. It was concluded that English speaking anxiety was significantly associated with students’ speaking performance, although the correlational design did not establish a causal relationship.Keywords: anxiety, speaking, performance
