Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety:How Should the Classroom Teacher Deal with it?
Masahiko GOSHI
Abstract
Foreign language anxiety has long been recognized by both classroom teachers and researchers in second/ foreign language education,but it is far from completely understood.It has been reported that some types of anxiety debilitate learners’language learning. By examining the research results in foreign/second language anxiety, some implications for classroom teachers and learners can be drawn.Also a small-scale study was carried out to find the relationship between students’language anxiety and beliefs about learning English at a private university.The results suggest that students with negative beliefs about their learning English feel more foreign language classroom anxiety. Creating a low-anxiety classroom environment is one of the primary responsibilities of classroom teachers.Learners also should be made aware of language anxiety and learn how to cope with it.
