This study investigates students' English learning anxiety within the context of Kuwaiti ESL (English as a Second Language) classrooms in a private university. The aim of this study is to find out the manifestation of the anxiety in the ESL classroom and suggest some teaching strategies in order to effectively reduce language anxiety in the learners. A questionnaire adapted from Gardner's AMTSB (2004) version was used to assess the attributes of interest. The results reported having moderate to high level of anxiety in English classrooms, and possible teaching strategies suggested by ESL instructors which may reduce anxiety in the students.
