Affective Factors in Foreign Language Education: The Role of Anxiety
Résumé
This study investigates the role of affective factors in language education. Specifically, it examines the influence of anxiety on EFL learning. It examines students' speaking and test anxieties, and whether it prevents them from engaging in classroom communication activities or not. The study was carried out in a Moroccan EFL classroom. Twenty students participated in the study. They answered a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire that gathered data about the target phenomenon. The results showed that students' level and feeling of anxiety differed from an educational and instructional situation to another. They also showed that most Moroccan EFL students have low anxiety levels and feelings towards English because their attitudes towards it are generally positive.
