"The research questions for this Action Research Capstone based upon the literature review are: 1) How does Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety relate to the Interpersonal, Interpretive and Presentational Modes of language learning including the specific language skills of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking? 2) What methods are most effective in reducing FLCA for [beginning and intermediate high school] second language students?"--Leaf 13. "The investigation has resulted in three major conclusions based upon the data collected. The data shows that FLCA exists for the majority of students at some point during language learning process. The student can experience FLCA based upon a wide variety of factors, including skill assignments and academic relationships. Language anxieties are often related to language learning skills and students may experience these anxieties based upon student personality, the lack of preparedness, the skill itself, the complexity of the skill assignment, negative academic relationships and more. With support, students can identify FLCA and develop strategies to alleviate the anxieties associated with language learning skills"--Leaf 43.

Does anxiety about learning and using a foreign language decline as learners become more competent in the target language, or is anxiety also relevant at higher levels of proficiency? This is the question Foreign Language Anxiety and the Advanced Language Learner sets out to explore. The aim of the book is to give readers an insight into what role anxiety plays in the language learning and communication processes of advanced language learners. Specifically, the study examines how advanced EFL learners’ foreign language anxiety (FLA) can be characterized; how anxiety relates to other individual differences (cognitive, affective, personality); and explores the relationship between FLA and various aspects of learners’ performance and communication experience in the target language. The research context is Hungary. The findings, however, are not confined to the Hungarian EFL setting. In addition to making a contribution to the clarification of some unresolved issues in language anxiety research—including the role of proficiency in the development of anxiety, the relationship between anxiety and other learner variables, and the much-debated question of whether or not anxiety accounts for differential success in L2 learning—this study has important implications for language teachers as well.

Foreign language anxiety and language-skill-specific anxiety are widely used to describe the feeling of tension and apprehension, which is specifically associated with foreign language learning contexts, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) is related to foreign language anxiety and language-skill-specific anxiety, and fairly recently identified as distinguished from other forms of anxiety. FLCA is a more general type of anxiety in learning a foreign language with a strong speaking anxiety element; and low self-confidence is identified as an important component of its construct. Research shows that FLCA is a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon; it has many potential sources; and it interferes with the acquisition, retention, and production of a foreign language. This book examines the dynamics of FLCA phenomena.

"According to research, Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety hinders students in second language acquisition. Foreign language anxiety is most hindering to students' success when they are performing speaking activities. Anxiety affects students' ability to receive input, process input, and produce an oral response. There is concrete evidence in recent research that lowering students' foreign language anxiety will improve their ability to be more successful in the second language classroom. This project sought to prove that anxiety-reducing strategies would reduce student anxiety and increase student scores on speaking tests. Based on the scores of additional tests and the results of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale, the students' anxiety scores showed a decrease and the speaking test scores showed an increase"--Author's abstract.

The subjects of the present study were 344 college students from Mainland China. They responded to a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire adapted from Horwitz’s Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). Their responses to the questionnaire were submitted to exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (with the help of statistical package of SPSS and AMOS) for identifying anxiety dimensions. The results show that four dimensions of anxiety exist among the subjects and the two dimensions of the FLCAS were closely examined to find the extent to which that the four-factor model adequately fit the data. The fit indices suggested that the instrument measuring the dimensions of anxiety specific to college students in China was valid construct-wise and reliable for future use.
