This study analyzes the factors contributing to speaking anxiety among tenth-grade students at SMK Putri Al-Azhar during their procedure text presentations. Speaking anxiety is a common challenge in language learning, particularly when students are required to present in front of a class. This research examines psychological, linguistic, and social factors influencing students' anxiety levels. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using a questionnaire to gather data from thirty six female students. The results revealed that 30.6% of the participants experienced moderate anxiety, 47.2% mild anxiety, and 22.2% severe anxiety. Psychological factors such as fear of failure, linguistic factors like limited vocabulary, and social factors including fear of judgment from peers contributed to the anxiety levels. The findings emphasize the importance of preparation, teacher support, and relaxation techniques as strategies to reduce anxiety. This research offers valuable insights for educators to create a supportive learning environment that enhances student confidence in speaking tasks.
