×<p xss="removed">The objectives of the study are : (1) to examine the aspects leading to
students' speaking anxiety of online oral presentations and (2) to find out the ways
students deal with their anxiety of an online presentation. This study employed
qualitative case study research which provides a deep and complete description of
this phenomenon. The researcher had three voluntary participants in this study who
were all undergraduate students of English Education Study Program that have
enrolled in public speaking class and have delivered several online oral
presentations. The data in this study were collected through interviews and
document analysis. Researcher analyzed the data through data collection, data
condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. This study
revealed that there are two main aspects underlying students’ anxiety when
delivering online oral presentations namely linguistic aspects including a lack of
vocabulary, a lack of grammar, and poor pronunciation. The non-linguistic aspects
include a lack of preparation, a shy feeling, and environmental distractions. Those
aspects hinder the students from explaining more details about a topic that is being
delivered. Another finding is there are three coping mechanisms that students used
to reduce the speaking anxiety when they delivered the online oral presentations.
Being well-prepared for the materials, devices, and surrounding location is the most
used way by the students to reduce their anxiety. Having relaxation before the
presentation begins also works to bring down their anxious feeling when facing
online oral presentations. Students also repeat practicing their presentation before
the real online presentation begins. When students practice a lot of the materials,
they will not confused about the organization of the presentation and they will also
have a good time management. This study highlights the importance of
understanding the emergence to know what are the fundamental aspects that make
the students feel anxious when carrying out online oral presentations. This study
also emphasizes the understanding of online learning environment that raises
speaking anxiety in students when presenting online presentations especially those
as a form of evaluation. This study suggests that students will be more aware of
their speaking anxiety situation during online presentations. The lecturer will help
the students by providing a presentation simulation, giving feedback and positive
affirmation so the students will be more relax before conducting an online
presentation. For future researchers, investigating the aspects and strategies from
the lecturer’s point of view will be a great study to conduct.</p>
