Public speaking anxiety and self-efficacy are significant factors affecting students' performance in language learning, particularly in Arabic. This study explores the relationship between self-efficacy and public speaking anxiety among 9th-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyyah Negeri 4 Karanganyar. Understanding this relationship is essential for developing strategies to enhance students' speaking skills and reduce anxiety. The primary objective of this research is to determine the influence of self-efficacy on public speaking anxiety among 9th-grade students. A quantitative research approach was adopted, utilizing Likert scale questionnaires for data collection. The population consisted of 155 9th-grade students, from which a sample of 61 students was randomly selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected using Bandura's (1997) General Self-Efficacy Scale and Lang's (1971) Public Speaking Anxiety Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. The study found a significant negative relationship between self-efficacy and public speaking anxiety. Students with higher self-efficacy levels exhibited lower levels of anxiety when speaking in public. Specifically, self-efficacy accounted for 79.9% of the variance in public speaking anxiety, with a t-value of -15.291 and a significance level of p < 0.05. These findings indicate that enhancing self-efficacy can substantially reduce public speaking anxiety among students. Improving students' self-efficacy is crucial in mitigating public speaking anxiety, which in turn can enhance their academic performance and confidence. The implications of this study suggest that educational institutions should implement programs and strategies aimed at boosting self-efficacy to create a supportive learning environment. Future research should explore additional factors influencing public speaking anxiety and develop comprehensive approaches to address this issue.
