Abstract


Anxiety is an affective factor that plays an important role in affecting the mastery and achievement of a language learning. It should be emphasized because the process of language teaching and learning depends on stu-dents' level of emotional readiness and cognitive ability.This study aimed to explore the level of language anxiety in Arabic listening and speaking skills among Malaysian secondary school students in Malaysia. To this end, a set of Likert-scale questionnaires was distributed to 500 fourth-grade students in 20 religious secondary schools who were randomly se-lected randomly based on their zones in Malaysia. This study was quanti-tative by using descriptive data analysis. The findings indicate that the level of Arabic language proficiency in listening skills, in general, is in the medium to high level of value (Min = 3.48; SP = 0.64) and that the level of spoken anxiety is also in the medium to high level (Min = 3.29; SP = 0.57). This study suggests that teachers should always be aware of the students' psychological needs by always motivating, encouraging and using effec-tive teaching methods so that their concerns about learning Arabic can be
overcome. Selecting appropriate Arabic language learning techniques and strategies among students can also overcome the language anxiety prob-lem among them.
