Abstract: Risk taking, which is defined as the willingness even if individuals are not so sure of how to do it, is one of the vital points in the educational setting. Therefore, the study aims at primarily exploring the risk taking levels of pre-service teachers at the English language Teaching Department, secondly finding out the relation between gender and risk taking and thirdly the relation between the overall achievement score and risk taking inclination. The Risk Taking Scale was administered to find out their tendencies and it was revealed that there is no significant relation between the gender and risk taking and between the GPA and risk taking levels with an emphasis that pre-service teachers try to take risks in speaking with a high level of confidence.
