Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Peer-Supported Practice Strategy (PSPS) in reducing PSA among university students enrolled in a Public Speaking class, as well as to explore how students with different speaking proficiency levels respond to the strategy. Using a mixed-method approach, the research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design complemented by qualitative interviews. Thirty students participated in the study and completed a 12-item PSA questionnaire administered before and after the PSPS intervention. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired sample t-tests, and independent t-tests. The results showed a notable decrease in PSA, with mean scores dropping from 45.93 (pretest) to 39.28 (posttest). The paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant reduction, indicating that PSPS effectively lowered students’ anxiety levels. Furthermore, the independent t-test showed that both beginner and advanced proficiency groups benefited from the strategy, although beginners experienced a greater reduction. Qualitative interview findings further supported the quantitative results. Students reported feeling more comfortable, less fearful of making mistakes, and more confident when speaking with peers who offered supportive feedback. They emphasized that practicing in a non-judgmental environment, receiving constructive correction, and engaging in repeated speaking tasks helped them manage anxiety more effectively. Overall, the integration of peer support within structured speaking practice proved beneficial in reducing anxiety and increasing students’ speaking confidence. The findings suggest that PSPS can serve as an effective pedagogical approach for public speaking courses, particularly for students who struggle with communication apprehension.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of the Peer-Supported Practice Strategy (PSPS) in reducing Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA) among university students using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were gathered from 29 students enrolled in a Public Speaking course via pre- and post-test 12-item PSA questionnaires, followed by qualitative semi-structured interviews. A Paired-Sample T-Test revealed a statistically significant reduction in overall anxiety levels post-intervention (), with mean scores decreasing from 45.93 to 39.28. Additionally, an Independent-Sample T-Test indicated no significant difference in anxiety reduction between beginner () and advanced () learners (), confirming that PSPS benefited both groups equitably. Qualitative findings elaborated that PSPS served as an emotional buffer providing psychological safety for beginners, while acting as a constructive refining tool for advanced learners. Synthesizing these outcomes demonstrates that structured peer support effectively mitigates speech apprehension by fostering a supportive, low-stakes practice environment.
