Abstract

Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas tiga SMA Negeri 1 Pringsewu yang dipilih secara acak. Metode pengumpulan data pada penelitian kali ini adalah metode survei yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Univariate-ANOVA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap nilai siswa berdasarkan interaksi antara tingkat kecemasan berbahasa asing dan frekwensi strategi untuk mengatasi kecemasan berbahasa asing yang digunakan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa interaksi dari kedua faktor tersebut tidak menentukan tinggi dan rendahnya nilai siswa dalam belajar.
