Ayaw Ko, Baka Mali! : The Truth Behind the Story of Learners with Glossophobia

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

Glossophobia refers to a strong fear of public speaking. It is a specific type of phobia, an anxiety disorder characterized by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. This study aimed to discuss the story of selected grade 11 HUMSS A learners at Parang National High School Senior High School who experience glossophobia and how it affects them as an individual and their performances inside the school. Individuals who suffer from glossophobia typically experience fear and anxiety when speaking in front of a group of people and, as a result, may avoid speaking in public in an effort to avoid being embarrassed or rejected by others. Over time, individuals with glossophobia may experience negative impacts on their mental health and success at work or school.
