Abstract: Numerous students experienced anxiety in reading a foreign language particularly when they were asked to read unfamiliar text. This study examined the sources of FL reading anxiety in an Indonesian EFL context, it was a qualitative descriptive method by distributing Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale and taking a semi-structured interview of which this research highlighted explicitly about the potential sources of students’ reading anxiety which occurred naturally to the students who learned EFL reading in an English dormitory and considered as a case study. The data from FLRAS was analyzed qualitatively by calculating manually the percentages and mean scores of the student responses to infer the data findings. While the interview data was analyzed to corroborate and confirm the data from questionnaire. It was found that, in an Indonesian EFL context, > 50% students considered text features were more caused them anxious in reading, while the rest recognized that personal factors also have a negative impact on their reading performances. However, choosing an appropriate text will be better to be considered for teachers in teaching EFL reading in order to decrease the students’ anxiety and increase the students’ interest in reading.
