Guided by four research objectives and four research questions, this study has employed a descriptive research design using both the quantitative and qualitative methods for data gathering and analysis. The subjects for this study consisted of 48 students: 24 TESL students and 24 INTEC students. ELAS results indicated that TESL students exhibited a slightly higher anxiety level as compared to INTEC students.

Thirdly, the findings showed that role-playing spontaneously and writing work on the board are the activities that cause high anxiety among ESL students. It was found that most of them dealt with language anxiety by growing confidence.
