Abstract

This research aims to investigate the correlation between reading anxiety and reading comprehension of the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 3 Palu. This research employed a correlation research design. The sample was 31 students which was taken by using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected through a reading anxiety questionnaire and reading comprehension test. All the data gained in this research were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The results indicated that there was no significant correlation between anxiety and reading comprehension of the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Palu. The correlation coefficient was 0.116, while the significance value ( p = 0.533) was much greater than 0.05, confirming the lack of a significance. This indicates that students’ ability to comprehend texts is not necessarily affected by their level of reading anxiety, suggesting that other factors may contribute to their reading comprehension, such as motivation, reading strategies, limited vocabulary, and the learning environment.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a common barrier that students face in language learning, particularly in situations requiring verbal communication. This study investigates the factors, causes, and strategies to overcome speaking anxiety among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Luwu Utara. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. Findings revealed three primary forms of speaking anxiety: communication anxiety, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Key causes included limited vocabulary, fear of mistakes, and low self-confidence. To address these issues, students adopted strategies such as preparation, positive thinking, and relaxation techniques. This research highlights the urgency of fostering a supportive classroom environment that reduces anxiety and promotes active participation, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance student engagement and communication skills. By identifying both the root causes and coping strategies, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of how to effectively support students facing speaking anxiety.
