Abstract

The fear of public speaking is a common anxiety among students, significantly impacting their self-esteem, focus, and confidence, ultimately hindering effective communication. This study aimed to assess the relationship between self-esteem and public speaking skills among Humanities and Social Sciences students. Using a descriptive-correlational design, 300 students participated in a questionnaire-based survey. The findings revealed a moderately significant positive correlation between self-esteem and public speaking skills. Students with higher self-esteem were more likely to manage nervousness and engage confidently with their audience during speeches and presentations. Based on these results, the study recommends fostering supportive learning environments and implementing structured practice sessions focused on anxiety management, verbal articulation, and effective body language to develop stronger public speaking abilities.
