  The purpose of this study was to investigate the sources of foreign language anxiety experienced by EFL teachers in the classroom. Two teachers were enrolled in a public school of Purwokerto, participated in this study during their teaching. The subject’s anxiety was investigated using interview and classroom observation. The instruments constituted the focus in this study, and it was described through three stages of data analysis, there were data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing and verification. The result provided evidence that the participants had experienced anxiety when they used English to their students in certain conditions. The research findings showed that there were four factors causing anxiey among teachers when they used English in the classroom. The factors were as follows: 1) class preparation (classroom management, teaxhing procedures and teaching and learning management), 2) students and cl assroom profile (students’s attitude toward learning English and the number of students), 3) self-confidence (worry about making mistakes and fear of English speech in the classroom), and 4) physical condition (teacher in a bad health).
