In the study, the quantitative method was implemented, and the descriptive correlational survey method was applied in which a pair of groups of standardized questionnaires and a standard rubric were used. It used purposive-universal method of sampling in which all Grade 11 students of La Hacienda High School, Alicia, Bohol were used. The outcome revealed that there is an insignificant result on the correlation between Level of English Language Anxiety and Level of performance in the extemporaneous speaking which showed that there is no significant correlation between the level of English language anxiety and the level of performance of extemporaneous speaking. Also, the outcome on the Correlation between Level of anxiety related to public speaking and Level of performance in extemporaneous speaking implied that the degree of anxiety associated with public speaking was not related with the degree of performance in the context of extemporaneous speaking. Thus, no influence of the two variables was demonstrated on one another. The school is also supposed to carry out program which will improve/develop speaking performance of the students.
