Abstract
Practical teaching plays a vital role in providing teachers with teaching experience and the skills needed in preparing them for their future career as teachers. In the process, most of teachers do encounter anxiety that might jeopardize their performance during this practice. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine the anxiety factors among these teacher trainees during their teaching practice in schools. The student-teacher anxiety scale (hart) was used as measuring instrument for factors including classroom management, teaching planning, teaching skills, language skills, self-efficacy and school/staff environment. The respondents of the study were 24th years Teaching as a Second Language (TESL) teacher trainees and data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 20 for descriptive statistics. Findings indicated that the teacher trainees suffered from high anxiety for teaching skills and classroom management factors, moderate anxiety for language skills and low anxiety for other factors.
