Abstract

Anxiety is a major factor that influences the effectiveness of public speaking. This paper examined how a 16-week classroom instruction on English public speaking that includes systematic desensitization and cognitive restructuring training affects public speaking anxiety for Chinese non-English major college students. The results prove that systematic desensitization and cognitive restructuring are significantly effective to reduce students' English public speaking anxiety.
