Abstract
Previous research has rarely examined reading and writing anxiety concurrently. The purpose of this study is to look into the relationship between reading anxiety and writing anxiety among Indonesian English students, in relation with gender. This quantitative study used a questionnaire to investigate how students experience reading and writing anxiety. English students from Indonesian universities took part in the study. According to the data collected, some causes of reading anxiety include: 1) negative feelings associated with perceived mastery of the topic, and 2) negative feelings associated with unfamiliar vocabulary. Some causes of writing anxiety include: 1) writing English compositions in a short period of time, 2) writing anxiety associated with potential negative evaluations, and 3) writing anxiety associated with perceived lack of language competence. This study found a significant link between anxiety about reading and writing. Female students reported similar reading anxiety as male students. There was no significant difference in female and male students' writing anxiety levels. Keywords: reading, writing, anxiety, and gender
