Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the extent to which different types of speaking anxiety can be dealt with through academic debate. After looking at relevant research in the field of anxiety, I suggest a model to facilitate the transition from debilitating anxiety in the context of teaching debate and public speaking to facilitating anxiety in the context of debate competitions and real life communication contexts.
