However, more emphasis has been given to the use of observation to measure teacher confirmation when compared to the receivers’ perceptions. The core objective of this study was to determine the relationship between teacher confirmation and communication apprehension. Four separate lessons were conducted by a total of four English language teachers, where a total of 100 Form 4 students were used as samples of the study. After the lesson, students completed a set of questionnaires, which consists of the Teacher Confirmation Scale (TCS) and Classroom Apprehension Participation Scale (CAPS), on the level of students’ apprehension in participating in classroom discussion and the frequency of a teacher exhibiting confirming behaviours in the classroom. Collectively, the results indicated a “Somewhat Confirming” level of teacher confirmation and a medium level of communication apprehension among students in the classroom. The findings also indicated a strong negative correlation between teacher confirmation and communication apprehension, which means that when the teacher confirmation level as perceived by the students is high, the communication apprehension among students will be low and vice versa.
