Qualitative analysis reveals speaking anxiety stems from lack of self-confidence and fear of judgment, suggesting targeted programs may improve oral communication skills.
This qualitative study explores speaking anxiety among students at the Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology (SPAMAST). Through interviews, two primary sources of anxiety—lack of self-confidence and fear of negative judgment—were identified. Students cope mainly through self-preparation and systematic exposure. Lessons learned highlight the importance of social interaction and building confidence. The findings underscore the need for supportive environments and targeted programs to help students manage anxiety and strengthen oral communication skills.
