Summary:The purposes of this study were to find out the difference of language anxiety components experienced by young learners, the cause of their anxiety, and their coping strategies. The results were the participants had a non-significant difference in two components: test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. In contrast, their communication apprehension was statistically different. Second, three causes were found to be in common among participants; speaking activities, pop quiz and social negative evaluation. Third, the participants displayed a range of coping strategies; the most frequent strategy was flight behavior. In addition, mental escaping was used by all participants. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan perbedaan komponen kecemasan bahasa yang dialami para pembelajar bahasa muda, penyebab, dan strategi mengatasi mereka untuk mengatasinya. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa partisipan tidak mengalami perbedaan yang signifikan dalam dua komponen kecemasan bahasa, yaitu kecemasan ujian (test anxiety) dan ketakutan terhadap evaluasi negatif (fear of negative evaluation).
