Abstract

The main purpose of the present study was to empirically investigate the possible correlation and the influence between students‘ foreign language anxiety and speaking achievement. All the eighth grade students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Paradigma Palembang were selected as the sample. Speaking test was done to measure students‘ speaking achievement. By using oral Proficiency categories from Brown (2004) students‘ speaking achievement was scored in terms of the four subskills of vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and fluency. Furthermore, Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire developed by Horwitz, Horwitz and Cope (1986) was used to measure foreign language anxiety containing 33 items. Pearson Product-Moment was used to find out the correlation between variables. The result showed that there was no significant correlation between students‘ foreign language anxiety and their speaking achievement with r= .017. It indicated that H0 was accepted and Ha was rejected. This study could have implications for English language teachers, students and future researchers.
