Second, mnemonic strategy is used using body movements and demonstrating the words. The next is metacognitive strategy such as organizing the material and practicing how to speak before presentation. Then, compensatory strategy which is done by making simple movement on their hand when they got nervous, looking for replacement words to make them easier to understand, listening to someone who speaks English, listening to the English song and watching English movie. For affective strategy, the students try to calm down during the presentation, motivate themselves to be brave to speak English in front of people and give compliment for themselves if they can speak English well. Sometimes, they also make jokes to overcome their anxiety. The last, students use social strategy by practicing to speak with native-speakers or their friends, working in group and asking others when they have trouble in English.
