Abstract
This research aims to determine the relationship between prospective Turkish teachers` public speaking anxiety and digital speaking tendencies. In this context, 181 prospective teachers from different grades studying in the Turkish language teaching program of a state university in the west of Turkey were examined. The relational surveying method, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. "Public Speaking Anxiety Scale" and "Digital Speaking Tendency Scale" were used as data collection tools in the research. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the data showed normal distribution, so independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA analyzes were used in the study. In addition to them, arithmetic mean and standard deviation values were used. According to the results, it is seen that prospective Turkish teachers` public speaking anxiety levels and digital speaking tendencies are at the moderate level. Furthermore, it was concluded that public speaking anxiety levels and digital speaking tendencies did not show a significant difference according to gender, grade level, the average number of books read in a year and time spent on the internet in an average day. Turkish teachers should be given training and courses in order to reduce the anxiety of speaking in public and to raise awareness. Speech anxiety can also be prevented by adding the cause or causes of speech disorders and solving errors in the curriculum at all education levels. Therefore, it has been concluded that there is a positive and low-level significant relationship between prospective Turkish teachers' public speaking anxiety and digital speaking tendency.
