The purpose of this study was to investigate speech anxiety in a small group of teachers, and their experiences of speaking in different situations in their professional practice. In addition, we wanted to know more about their experiences of handling the situation, and how they develop their abilities to speak in public, to cope with life as teachers. The sample consists of eight teachers who work in primary schools and secondary schools, who do experience or have experienced speech anxiety in their professional practice. Data were collected using interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study show that teachers rarely experience speech anxiety when speaking in front of their students, however, speech anxiety increases when students show bad attitude, when there are many people in the same place, such as conferences, when they speak in front of adults, or if they are somehow being reviewed.
