EXPLORING THE NEXUS OF LANGUAGE ANXIETY AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Roselyn Mae S. Fernandez

Discipline: literature in English

 

Abstract:

Language anxiety has been known to be a strong predictor of second language (L2) achievement for decades. There has been a relative lack of empirical attention to establishing which one anxiety or achievement influences the other. Second language (L2) anxiety has been the object of constant empirical and theoretical attention for several decades. As a matter of both theoretical and practical interest, much of the research in this domain has examined the relationship between anxiety and L2 achievement. The present study was a systematic literature review of research. An evaluation of related literature on language anxiety showed that foreign language anxiety is a challenging issue in academic performance. However, researchers should treat this issue systematically and offer a full understanding on the language learning anxiety and academic performance of the students. A thorough understanding of the causes of foreign language anxiety would help to find ways to reduce this problem. Based on this comprehensive review, more studies in this field are still needed to confirm previous studies on language anxiety and help the students reduce this and have confidence in themselves. This study suggests a research timeline was conducted up to this time. It is also noticed that foreign language anxiety has negative effects on the learning of students.
