| Summary: | Past literature has consistently highlighted the problem of oral communication apprehension (OCA) among English as foreign language (EFL) learners. However, these results are mostly applicable to developed countries.

The findings of the study revealed that participants feel anxious and nervous while speaking English in front of others. They also mentioned that improper method of teaching is one of the factors that cause apprehension to them. |
