Abstract

This study aims to investigate phenomenon of fo · guage reading
anxiety among Indonesian EFL Senior High School students. Thirty two
students of grade eleven in a senior high school in Bandung were involved
as the participants. This study employed a survey research design. The
primary data source was collected by three types of questionnaires and the
secondary data source was gained by an interview. The findings revealed
that reading anxiety does exist. Most of the students perceived anxiety in
mediwn level (71, 9%). Unknown vocabulary was considered as the most
potential factor of reading anxiety under the aspect of text features (49%).
Subsequently, fear of making error was nominated as the highest potential
factor of reading anxiety under the aspect of personal factors (39%). The
existence of reading anxiety was also supported by inefficient reading
strategies employed by students. Two Problem Solving Strategies and one
Support Reading Strategies were considered as the most used reading
strategies. Those strategies mostly reflect bottom-up processing in reading.
Meanwhile, the use of Global Reading Strategies which reflect top-down
processing was ignored by students. The students are suggested to use
interactive processing which combines elements of bottom-up and top-down
models in order to reduce their reading anxiety.
Keywords: Reading, Reading Anxiety, Problem Solving Stralegies,
