Their poor language skills enhance their level of anxiety while teaching through English which ultimately affect the student' motivation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between language anxiety in teaching science and students' motivation at secondary schools. A quantitative research methodology was adopted to conduct this study. A convenient sampling technique was adopted to collect data from secondary school teachers and students. Simple linear regression and independentsample t-test were applied to analyze data. As to findings, it is identified that teachers' language anxiety has no impact on students' level of motivation.
