La ansiedad ante la comunicación oral (ACO) constituye una barrera afectiva prevalente en los entornos de enseñanza del inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL), especialmente en los niveles iniciales de dominio. Este estudio examinó la naturaleza, los factores desencadenantes y las manifestaciones de la ACO en estudiantes universitarios de nivel principiante (A1/A2) del Centro de Idiomas de la Universidad Agraria del Ecuador (UAE). Se adoptó un diseño de caso de estudio cualitativo con 25 participantes seleccionados mediante muestreo intencional. Los datos fueron recolectados mediante entrevistas individuales semiestructuradas y grupos focales. El análisis temático reveló cuatro fuentes dominantes de ansiedad: miedo a la evaluación negativa, ansiedad ante pruebas orales, baja confianza en la pronunciación y ansiedad ante presentaciones orales. Los hallazgos sugieren que el contexto EFL de la UAE genera niveles elevados de ansiedad comunicativa con implicaciones pedagógicas relevantes
