Speaking is one of the basic skills used to communicate with other people. Being the first foreign language introduced at school is of course something that still often causes anxiety among Indonesian students. Therefore, a study was conducted to determine the perceptions of Indonesian English students at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Yogyakarta regarding the anxiety they experience when speaking a foreign language. This study has two main objectives, namely to find out the level of foreign language anxiety felt by Indonesian students, especially in private schools in Yogyakarta, when speaking English in an EFL classroom and to find the reasons for the foreign language anxiety felt by Indonesian students, especially private schools in Yogyakarta, when speaking English in EFL classroom. This study used a mixed methods research design; the data were collected through the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) questionnaire and interview, and both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for analysis.The respondents of this study were tenth graders of a private school in Yogyakarta consisting of 98 students, 52 males, and 46 females. The results of the questionnaire analysis showed the level of anxiety, that of the 98 students who were respondents, sixty-two students (63.3%) had a moderate level of anxiety, twenty-three students (23.3%) had a high level of anxiety, twelve students (12 .2%) had a low level of anxiety, one student (1%) had a very low level of anxiety, and no students had a very high level of anxiety (0.0%).
