It was found out that grammatical error is the main perceived English speaking anxiety of students and student personality is the main factor causing students' anxiety when speaking English. Personalities can impact students' motivation, the tactics they use to learn a language, classroom management, and language teaching. Moreover, most students' fear of speaking English is related to pronunciation issues. Students' fear may be impeded by their fear of being ridiculed, which often stems from their anxiety about being judged by others and could undermine their self-esteem causing them to feel inadequate. Also, respondents find it challenging to express their feeling, thoughts and opinions while using the language English as they may feel embarrassed when they make mistakes in group discussions and when others are involved. Thus, the respondents recommended to offer workshops that focus on improving public speaking skills and building confidence in English communication. The output of this study is proposed intervention to alleviate anxiety and enhance English speaking skills among students.
