Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the levels of the English language anxiety experienced by Form Four student in two selected schools. It was also to find out the extent of the relationship between students’ English language anxiety and their achievement in school based oral English test; and the difference between gender in English language anxiety. A survey was administered to 200 Form Four students (aged 15-16) of two secondary schools.

Descriptive analysis, independent sample t- test and correlation test were used in the study.
