Data were collected via two types of semi-structured interviews: students’ and teachers’ interviews. The participants comprised fifteen students and five teachers of Technical Institute for Medicine–AlMansoor. The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis. The findings revealed that the causes of speaking anxiety that Iraqi medical undergraduate students faced were related to fear of negative evaluation, fear of making mistakes, lack of vocabulary knowledge, unfamiliar topics, lack of time management, lack of confidence, and classroom. .environment.
