Abstract

Abstract Second language (L2) anxiety is the most studied affective factor in the field of second language acquisition. Numerous studies have been conducted on this emotion from different perspectives over the last few decades. These studies can be classified into three groups. The first group has tried to conceptualize and operationalize L2 anxiety and identify the different components or dimensions of the construct (e.g., Cheng, 2004; Horwitz et al., 1986). The second group has explored the impact of L2 anxiety on various motivational, behavioral, learning, and performance aspects of L2 learning (e.g., Gkonou et al., 2017). Finally, the third group has investigated different sources of L2 anxiety (Papi & Khajavy, 2021). In this manuscript, we will draw on studies from the three strands to present an overview of the state of research on this construct and conclude by discussing major issues with the conceptualization, measurement, and design of studies on L2 anxiety.

第二语言焦虑:结构、影响和来源

摘要二语焦虑是二语习得中研究最多的情感因素。在过去的几十年里，人们从不同的角度对这种情绪进行了大量的研究。这些研究可分为三类。第一组试图概念化和操作化第二语言焦虑，并确定该结构的不同组成部分或维度(例如，Cheng, 2004;Horwitz et al.， 1986)。第二组探讨了二语焦虑对二语学习的各种动机、行为、学习和表现方面的影响(例如，Gkonou等人，2017)。最后，第三组研究了第二语言焦虑的不同来源(Papi & Khajavy, 2021)。在本文中，我们将借鉴这三个方面的研究来概述这一结构的研究现状，并通过讨论二语焦虑研究的概念化、测量和设计的主要问题来结束。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
