Abstract

Beginning with the understanding that English is the language that mostly used in International communication nowadays, people are trying their best to speak English fluently. But, some people are still anxious speaking English with native speakers. The importance of English has caused many parents to encourage their children to be able to speak English in a very young age. In this study, the writer examined the anxiety level of the elementary school students learning English at Theresiana Elementary School, Semarang and the correlation between students‟ anxiety and students‟ achievement. The investigation was done with favour of a set of data (contained students‟ scores) and a set of questionnaire to collect data about students‟ anxiety level toward English. To address the research questions, the writer used close ended questionnaires. The questionnaires were distributed to 82 students from fourth and fifth grade at Theresiana Elementary School, Semarang. The questionnaire consisted of 24 items, in which the respondents had to respond to each statement by choosing Strongly Agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree and Strongly Disagree. The data, then, analysed to present the result in form of descriptive analysis. Students‟ anxiety level and the correlation between students‟ anxiety level and students‟ achievement were analysed using SPSS v.16.0 to get inferential analysis. The results showed that the students‟ anxiety level was medium, while the correlation between students‟ anxiety and students‟ achievement was relatively weak and having negative correlation.
