i scored above 18 for the public speaking context. i am not surprised at all, because public speaking has been my biggest fear of all time. hopefully i will build that up through out this quarter, and that's the main reason why i chose this class.

I feel i do a decent job in speaking in front of a audience. However, I do need to speak up more, work more on preparing my how to articulate my words, and find better ways to relate.

My total score is 86, a highest score in these comment ^_^! i know i'm a shy person. i like to write more than read because i'm afraid to make eyes contact with my audiences. I don't know why, but i just look around or look at only a few people who are looking at me or who i know well. especially, i'm really scare to talk to other people in English, maybe because of my bad awkward. My pronunciation is awkward, and my vocabulary is also very poor, so when i talk, people usually can't hear me or can't understand what i'm saying, and i also can't understand them sometimes.
Hopefully, my classmates will me to be better in communication, and my English will be improved after this quarter.

For me, when I use my mother tongue, I’m pretty confident to discuss and speak in public. However, in English, I’m often nervous and frustrated in a public speech or a presentation in class since I haven’t mastered English yet. So, when I speech in English, I have to focus not only on what I want to say, but also on grammar, vocabulary, idioms, etc. Nevertheless, I’d like to have a chance to speak in every situation in class, such as a discussion, a meeting, and a speech. I hope you don’t get frustrated or mad about my weird English in the class.^^

I don't really think that it's right, but anyway i need more practice of speak and do more discussions in the class about any subject we talk about. i remember when my teacher told me about being a fraid of public speaking, she said don't look to your audience eyes look at their forhead, or thank that your audience are naked, so this is the strategy that im using.

Again I confirmed my anxiety when I stand up infront of an audience. To be a better public speaker, I will keep in mind the "11 Hidden Causes Of Public Speaking Stress," and even though I forgot most of them, I will practice a lot in the class.

I'm afraid to express myself in meetings because I'm shy. This is one of my weaknesses. Public speaking is killing me. My thougts will become confused. I believe this class can help me to overcome this weakness. I will keep on practicing.

I don't have many problems when i give a speech in public or meeting in my native language. However,i have countless problems when i give a speech in English because i can't top thinking about grammar usage or vocabularies. From that confusing and fear,it is hart for me to give a comfortable speech. I believe that this class can solve my problems of speech.If we practise more often in the class.

Through my scores of personal report of communication apprehension, I can find part of public speaking is the weakest in all of another ones left. Actually, it is true. Once I speak in front of the class or speak to somebody in public, I feel nervous and inconfident in my speaking. However, once talking to the teacher, I feel less nervous and shy. Maybe teachers know my weak about english, so once I talk something wrong, they correct for me and instruct to me. So I think after finihing this class, I will be less afraid of speaking in public and in front of class.
I really liked this quiz!!!. for the most part I think it did show my areas of apprehension.

Group discussions and Socratic seminars are the situations that I get the most nervous in. during seminars in high school, there were times where I I had good thoughts and opinions but then they were totally shut down. one of my goals is to feel better about speaking up in class with out the feeling of being judged. I don't feel like I have apprehension towards public speaking.I actually like it!!!. I am very excited to give my speech!!!! :)

I think normally I try to be comfortable when I am in discussion group, but I sometimes feel nervous if the topic is not that I know very well, or I've never thought about.. so it depends on how much I know about discussion topic.
