Abstract

This study offers strategies for overcoming anxiety when writing an academic proposal, in contrast to other research that solely looked at the different forms of anxiety and their contributing variables. This study aims to explore the various forms of anxieties and the methods used by students to cope with these anxieties. Case studies are used as a method to uncover the problems encountered. To collect data, the researcher used interviews. The participants of the research were English students from an Islamic University in Central Java during the 2024-2025 academic year who were currently writing their thesis and have completed their thesis proposals. Based on the collected data, participants experienced three types of anxiety: cognitive, somatic, and avoidance behavior. Participants experienced the most severe anxiety while working on the literature review. The methods used by the participants are three: changing mindset, doing something different, and building selfconfidence. The findings of this research can serve as input for policymakers in designing final project programs for students, such as providing motivation programs, structured thesis scheduling and guidance, as well as more intensive educational methodology guidance.
