<![CDATA[Emotion promotes various consequences on language learning (Maquidato, 2021). It includes language anxiety. (Brown 2000) defined language anxiety as the "state of mind connected with uneasiness, frustration, self-doubt, or worry". The study aims to investigate how students deal with the condition. This is a qualitative study employing a case study design. I involved twenty university students majoring in English Education as participants. I selected them purposively based on the anxiety symptoms they showed in the observation. Data were obtained through three stages consisting of observation, as I mentioned earlier, focus group discussion, and interviews. After collecting data through the abovementioned procedures, they were analyzed through some stages: data coding, reduction, and grouping. I then compared the findings with earlier findings or theories to get a valid conclusion. Based on the findings and discussion above, I concluded five strategies implemented by EFL learners in coping with speaking anxiety. They are to think positively, start a conversation with a more common topic, shift the communication to a written form, and understand the speaking topic well. Further research should investigate those strategies quantitatively to measure their effectiveness levels.]]>
