The Effects of Anxiety in Language Teaching

Abstract

Anxiety can be beneficial and detrimental, enabling or hindering, boosting or demotivating. Investigating anxiety is important since it affects how competent people are considered. The purpose of this study is to look at the causes of anxiousness. The study aims to determine whether language learners who experience language anxiety benefit or suffer. Additionally, it looks at how different educational systems affect students' perceptions of their ability to acquire a language. The results show that the subject felt anxious in the classroom, especially when she was expected to give an oral presentation. This was a result of her upbringing in a distinct linguistic environment and educational system. Although the subject felt nervous when speaking in front of the class, she was able to control it by carefully planning her presentation.
