In the literature, communication apprehension was investigated among different learners of languages from different backgrounds and nationalities including Iran and the USA. Unfortunately, very few studies have been conducted among Libyan learners of English in general and Libyan postgraduate students in particular. The main goal of this study is to investigate whether oral communication apprehension exists among Libyan postgraduate students in CAS UUM.If so, what strategies do they adopt to overcome their oral communication apprehension.Two questionnaires designed by Horwitz et al., (1986) and Kondo & Ling (2004). The participants in this study consist of sixty eight (68) males and five (5) females, 2nd semester Libyan postgraduate students at UUM. The results revealed that most of the Libyan postgraduate students in CAS UUM have the feeling of oral communication apprehension in the classroom and that they adopt different strategies to deal with the apprehension.
