Abstract

This study was carried out to demonstrate what levels of anxiety that the students face to speak English and to know whether there is a significant difference on the reduction of students’ anxiety to speak English between the students who were taught by using inside-outside circle technique and those who were not. According to Kagan (1994), inside-outside circle is a technique in which students move around and interact with each other. The instrument used was a questionnaire adapted from Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) made by Horwitz et al. (1986). This questionnaire was distributed to the students of Class VII H and VII I SMP Negeri 3 Ungaran. It was distributed twice; before and after the treatment was given. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed through SPPS 21.0 software. According to the results, in the pretest, the level of students’ anxiety was in a high level of anxiety and then decreased into a moderate level of anxiety in the posttest. Meanwhile, the t-test showed that the sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.000. Therefore, it can be concluded that a significant difference on the reduction of students’ anxiety to speak English was also found between the students who were taught by using inside-outside circle and those who were not.
