Abstract—English speaking self-concept and English
classroom speaking anxiety are two important factors
impacting learners’ English acquisition. This research
investigates the relationship between English speaking
self-concept and English classroom speaking anxiety on
non-English first-year students. Questionnaires were adopted
as the main instruments. The results show that there does exist
a negative correlation between English classroom speaking
anxiety and English speaking self-concept among non-English
first-year students, while such kind of relation is not strong.
Index Terms—English speaking self-concept, English
classroom speaking anxiety, non-English major freshmen
