Abstract (2. Language):
Speech, the primary element for humans in becoming social beings, is accepted as the prerequisite foundation
for all types of communication. While the speech ability is a natural characteristic preordained, proper and
effective use of correct speech is dependent on person’s education and training. Individualized vocal training,
voice and tonality, conversing and verbal explanation techniques courses present in Music as well as Turkish
bachelor degree programs contain fundamental information oriented to speech education. Especially in
training programs where courses concerning voice are present, individuals are expected to be free of anxiety in
self-expression in addition to being correct, pleasant and effective in their speech. In this study, Music and
Turkish Language teacher candidates’ speech anxieties, and whether these anxieties exhibited any differences
according to the field variable have been investigated. The research subject workgroup consists of 178 teacher
candidates currently studying at the Music and Turkish Language Education Departments in Faculty of
Education, Nigde University, Turkey. As data collection tool, Speech Anxiety Scale For Teacher Candidates
developed by Sevim (2012:927) has been used. On the basis of research findings, it has been observed that
speech anxieties of teacher candidates exhibit differences according to the field variable and that Turkish
Language teacher candidates are more prone to speech anxiety as compared to Music teacher candidates.
