To reduce anxiety, students apply several strategies, including preparation, positive thinking, and peer support. Among these, personal factors are the most significant contributors to students’ public speaking anxiety. Meanwhile, preparation is the most effective and most frequently used strategy. Based on these findings, educators should assist students in implementing structured strategies to manage anxiety, build confidence in public speaking, and create a supportive classroom environment.
