Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the factors affecting the anxiety of primary school English teachers

in Samut Prakan Province. The sample consisted of 80 teachers, including those who graduated with a major

in English and those from other fields, teaching in small- and medium-sized schools. The sample was selected

through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a questionnaire measuring teaching anxiety, with a

reliability coefficient of 0.94. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including percentage, mean, and

standard deviation. The research findings revealed that the overall level of teaching anxiety among the teachers

was moderate. The factor contributing most to the anxiety was personal factors in teaching (mean = 2.78,

standard deviation = 1.17), followed by social and environmental factors (mean = 2.59, standard deviation =

1.31), and learning factors (mean = 2.56, standard deviation = 1.10), respectively. The expected benefits of

this study include providing guidelines for enhancing the teaching capacity of primary school English teachers,

reducing teaching anxiety, and fostering greater confidence in conducting English instruction effectively.
