What is the theory behind this Speaking worksheet pdf?
Performance anxiety includes test anxiety, writer’s block, fear around initiating sex and other performance related tasks. One of the most common complaints of performance anxiety arrives from speaking on stage in front of the public. Individuals with this problem get rapid heartbeat and breathing, dry mouth, tight throat, trembling and damp limbs, shaky voice, nausea and an uneasy sensation in the stomach leading to digestive issues while speaking on stage. The problem occurs not because of any mishappening rather anticipation of something wrong happening in the future.
