experienced fear, and it was stated by Informant#1 that “maka struggle kog fear
of public speaking, fear magreport sa atubangan sa tanan nako classmates”(I
struggled fears in public speaking, fears in reporting in front of my
classmates).According to Huberty,2012,anxiety is a normal reaction to certain
situations. A small level of anxiety is normal, but severe anxiety can be a serious
problem.

harder”(be optimistic, strive harder) Optimism has been considered in a variety

can be defined in terms of the students’ and teachers’ shared perceptions in that
environment. Creating a positive classroom environment is an important aspect
of effective teaching. By creating positive classroom environments, teachers are
provided the opportunity for better classroom discipline and management.

thoughts). According to (Hawe, Tuck, Manthei, Adair, & Moore, 2000).Disruptive
