Considering the English language anxiety issues among 8th grade students of elementary schools in district Sialkot, it is recommended that in both public and private elementary schools, language teachers create a stress free, informal, friendly, and mastering environment. Little communicative activities like drama, role-play and motivation provoking techniques in a studying environment should be utilized. In public elementary schools, a language teacher should assign some task as homework for the preparation of next class so that students may prepare well and creates such an environment in language class in which all students participate in ongoing discussion without any hesitation. Private schools should not appoint less qualified and untrained teachers as they are also the main cause of creating anxiety in speaking English among students. Male and female 8th grade students of both sectors should constantly be prompted to practice English language speaking activities inside and outside the classroom without bothering little grammatical mistakes.
