Anxiety is a common problem faced in English language teaching (ELT) and has been studied a lot in the literature related to anxiety and ELT. Most of these studies focused on types of anxieties (reading, listening, speaking, writing, and classroom anxiety) separately or dealt with two of them like listening and speaking anxieties together, but the literature showed that the relationship among all types of anxieties in Turkish ELT context has not been studied. Therefore, the present study aimed to find out the relationship(s) among all types of anxieties. The study adopted quantitative research method. 70 Turkish English as a foreign language (EFL) students joined the study. Data were collected through five scales prepared to measure different types of anxieties in a language classroom. As the data were not distributed normally, Spearman’s rank-order correlation was used to analyze the data. The results of the data showed that there is not a correlational relationship between four skill-oriented anxieties; but there is a correlational relationship between speaking anxiety and classroom anxiety. The results were discussed in terms of their implications in English language classrooms.
