| Summary: | For some students, verbal communication in the classroom can produce physical and emotional anxiety that can profoundly affect their ability to succeed in the academic platform. Communication apprehension (CA) is a pervasive, multifaceted phenomenon that has been studied at multiple levels by several researchers. With the use of PRCA-24 (the Personal report of communication apprehension) developed by McCroskey (1985), the researcher aimed to identify predominant type of speaking anxiety experienced by the students in a speech class and how it affects their grades. Using Pearson-r correlation and multiple regression to identify the relationship between the variables, results show that public speaking is the most anxiety-provoking classroom activity for the respondents and that it is significantly correlated with their speech class grades. |
