To comprehend the genuine nature of this psychological and pedagogical phenomenon, the researcher investigated its sources and levels from the student and teacher subjects’ perspectives via a triangulation process of synthesizing questionnaires, classroom observations, and interviews. The sources of speaking anxiety were classified into two categories: internal and external. Audience, presentation characteristics, teacher-related factors, self-esteem, memory, self-perception, low proficiency, and fear of making mistakes were examined. The study also revealed that only 12.5% of the population experienced a low anxiety level and that 87.5% of them endured from moderate to high anxiety levels. Some significant manifestations were also informed.
