The results showed that the relationship between language anxiety and Arabic speaking ability among PBA students at IAIN Datuk Laksemana Bengkalis obtained a correlated significant value of 0.000, which is smaller than 0.05. The Pearson Correlation value between these two variables is a strong negative correlation, with a value of -0.674 located between 0.61 to 0.80. In the comparison of Pearson Correlation with r table also achieved results that have a relationship, with a value of -0.674 that is greater than 0.367, or it can be said the percentage of the relationship between language anxiety (X) with Arabic speaking ability (Y) is 45.4%.
