Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apa saja tingkat kecemasan siswa, faktor apa yang berkontribusi terhadap kecemasan siswa dan faktor apa saja yang dapat mengurangi kecemasan siswa pada kelas Bahasa Inggris, dalam kaitannya dengan gender. Penelitian ini menggunakan instrument berupa kuesioner, pengamatan kelas, dan wawancara. Penelitian ini melibatkan 51 siswa kelas XI Madrasah Aliyah. Ada 24 siswa laki-laki dan 27 siswa perempuan. Ruang kelas laki-laki dipisahkan dari ruang kelas perempuan. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan beberapa faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap munculnya kecemasan diantaranya; persepsi negatif terhadap diri sendiri, aktivitas berbicara, kurangnya persiapan, kurangnya kemampuan memahami, test bahasa, kurang percaya diri, dipanggil ke depan, dan takut ditertawakan oleh teman sebaya. Menurut persepsi siswa ada beberapa faktor yang dapat mengurangi kecemasan yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini. Terkait dengan peran guru, bersikap ramah dan mengenal siswa. Terkait dengan instruksi pengajaran, penggunaan bahasa Indonesia untuk menjelaskan instruksi yang diberikan dan cara penyampaian instruksi yang tepat diyakini akan dapat mengurangi kecemasan. Kegiatan mengajar yang meliputi permainan, bermain lagu, menonton film, dan penggunaan media lainnya sangat membantu untuk mengurangi kecemasan. Rekan sebaya dapat membantu mengurangi kecemasan dengan memberikan umpan balik dengan cara yang positif, saling membantu satu sama lain, dan memiliki minat yang sama.
